For how may I, that fear not God's dreadful tempest, stoop to fear poor Martin Conisby?" "Stoop, madam?" I cried hoarsely. "Aye, stoop," says she.

To her amazement, the pretty face scowled at her! Definitely and distinctly scowled! Dolly could scarcely believe her eyes. Why should this stranger scowl at her, when she didn't know her at all? Dolly quickly looked away, and pondered over the matter. She felt less shy now, because she was angry. Then the bell rang for luncheon.
Springing from the prostrate shape of the chief, who now had a bruise in front to match that behind, Scowl, covered with pecks and scratches, ran like a lamp-lighter, leaving me to collect my second gun, which he had dropped at the bottom of the tree, but fortunately without injuring it.
I was afraid yesterday that it would come to this; but it can never, never be. I am grateful oh! so grateful; but no, it cannot be, and that must be the end of it. I can never be your wife. Rustem."

Then it occurred to him that he belonged to a club a grave, decorous place where the gay pop of a champagne cork had been known to produce a scandalized silence in the luncheon-room, and where serious-minded members congregated to scowl at one another's unworthiness from behind newspapers. A hansom conveyed him thither.
Bert good-naturedly started ahead to speak to the principal, who was talking with some of the teachers, planning games for the little folk. Flossie and Freddie were patting their pet, when Danny Rugg, and one of his friends came along. "That dog can't come to our picnic!" said Danny, with a scowl. "He might bite some of us." "Snap never bites!" cried Freddie. "Of course not," said Flossie.
But the boyish frolics, the exulting high spirits, the unreflecting mirth of a sailor when enjoying himself on shore, temper the more formidable points of his character. There was nothing like these in this man's face; on the contrary, a surly and even savage scowl appeared to darken features which would have been harsh and unpleasant under any expression or modification.
