As he meditated upon the situation the scowl on his face changed to an appreciative grin. Now that he had decided to stay here he did not purpose to go hungry when there was food around. Shouldering his saddle he left the office and proceeded to the stable, in which he had placed his pony the night before.
The rush of cool air fanned my hot forehead, tousled my hair, slid down between my collar and the back of my neck, and I was grandly content. "Even though you are going to sail away, and even though you have the grumps, and refuse to talk, and scowl like a jabberwock, this is an extremely nice world. You can't spoil it." "Behute!" Von Gerhard's tone was solemn.
"You do a lotta sayin’, Kells." The scowl was gone; Shannon’s battered mouth was actually smiling. But, Drew decided, he liked the scowl better than the smile and the tone of the voice accompanying it. "Some men oughtta put a hobble on their tongues. Sure, I know these young whelps an’ their pa too. Sniffin’ round where they ain’t wanted.
"He seems rather free and easy in his manners, and his tone wasn't quite respectful, but I suppose his pride was hurt because I chose another man's boat instead of his," answered Harry. "You did not observe the scowl on his countenance when he spoke," said Algernon. Algernon evidently possessed the valuable gift of discernment of character which some can alone gain by long experience.
Before long he ceased to scowl upon her when she lifted her sunny face to his, and, on rare occasions, he even allowed her to count his arrows.

With which words words which terrified the little damsel profoundly Sir Asinus folded his arms, and in this position, with a sad scowl upon his face, passed forth into the night. As he reached the door of the Raleigh, he perceived Mrs. Wimple and one or two elderly ladies getting into a chariot; and behind them Jacques leading Belle-bouche triumphantly toward his small two-seated vehicle.
Then he turned upon me." "He might have killed you!" "I wish I had!" ejaculated the tramp, with a scowl. "Where is Mrs. Gregory now?" "I told her to go upstairs." Just then the lady, who from an upper window had observed the discomfiture and capture of her enemy, came out. "Oh, Mr. Nutt," she exclaimed, "I am so glad you came along! I was afraid this brave boy would get hurt."
With a scowl, Jordan turned slowly toward the waiting yearlings. "Lay hold!" commanded Jordan, and, though it was hard work, the yearlings responded willingly. This was what they were here for, and this hard work was all part of the training that was to fit them for command after they were graduated. "All possible speed, Mr. Jordan!" admonished Prescott, with a tinge of impatience in his voice.
And then, "Oh, for a barber!" he groaned. "Damn this stubble. I look like an accursed gooseberry! And now for the chaise, she must be safe with her aunt to-night, sweet soul. And she trusts me, Perry me!" Here he turned to scowl at his reflection again. "An angel!" he murmured. "But Anthony, if one of the horses has cast a shoe " "Shoe?" he repeated dreamily.
I imagined the horse was thinking, "This is a very nasty thing, but it seems to belong to the nicest, kindest man I ever met, so perhaps it isn't as bad after all as I thought at first." The driver's scowl turned to a smile, as he eventually drove by, we waiting till he had got safely past.
