Then he bit his lip and scowled, and looked up at the ham hanging from the rafters, and out of the windows, but as nothing more about saving grace occurred to him he said, "Aw, Jean, I know, but I can't think." "If you knew, you wouldn't have to think," Jean retorted, and then she made him take the book and sit down on the stool by the window and learn both answers while she finished the dishes.
"I move," suggested Slim Morris quietly, "that Pete be considered no longer a member or guest of this mess." "Second the motion," cried Rutter, Rice and Grant together. "The motion appears to have been carried, without the necessity for putting it," declared Mr. Blaisdell. "Pete, you have heard the pleasure of the mess." "Huh!" scowled Bad Pete, picking up his soup plate and draining it.
Albert's temper flared up again. His grandfather was sneering at him once more; he was always sneering at him. All right, let him sneer now. Some day he would be shown. He scowled and turned away. And Captain Zelotes, noticing the scowl, was reminded of a scowl he had seen upon the face of a Spanish opera singer some twenty years before. He did not like to be reminded of that man.
Their fawning faded away, they scowled and muttered. One day the Burgomaster at a certain place replied to some ordinary requisitions with an arrogant refusal. It was quite out of the question, he said, to comply with any such ridiculous demands. Then the Americans ceased to seem harmless.
Blunt did not move from the gate, but threw forward his rifle with a careless motion, but an expressive glance, that caused the Indians to resume their seats and pipes with an emphatic "Wah!" of disgust at having been startled out of their propriety by a trifle, while Dick Varley snatched poor Crusoe from his dangerous and painful position, scowled angrily in the woman's face, and, turning on his heel, walked up to the house, holding the pup tenderly in his arms.

"Well, I've offered him a chance, haven't I?" asked Don ungraciously. "I guess it doesn't make much difference who plays this game." He scowled at Willings who had been thrown out easily at first and was now discouragedly walking back to the bench. "You can take Williams's place when the ninth begins," he added, turning to his brother. The latter nodded silently.
That's EASY! Say, how have you been getting along, anyhow?" "Great!" "And you married one of these Panamanicures, eh?" The father scowled. "Lord! I can trust you to make a fool of yourself." "Say, dad. She's only so big." Anthony Junior indicated his wife's stature, smiling rapturously. "Dwarf, eh?" "Oh no!" "Love her?" "DO I? It's fierce." "Humph! You'll have to get over it.
He stood over his hamper and scowled sharply at us for a moment; then with the point of his foot he jerked a little fur cap that lay on the ground into his hand, drew it tight over his lowering brows, and called to his companions, just as we passed him 'Hallo! mister. How's this?
Sparling had seen them as they passed his car on their way. "Now, I wonder what those boys have been up to?" he scowled, watching their receding forms thoughtfully. "I'll find out." And he did. He summoned the lads to his office in the tent soon after breakfast. "I expected you would send for us," grinned Phil, as he walked in with Teddy. "What about it? You are both sights!"
