The first face her eyes fell on was that of the ball- player. Every muscle in it was drawn, and from the tightened lips streamed such whispered curses as the girl never before had heard.

But he was not given to taking water; even his enemies, and he had many in Bloomsbury, could hardly say that Puss was lacking in a certain kind of grit; while stubbornness he possessed in abundance. So he just shut his white teeth hard together, and looked scowlingly around the bunch of fellows.
And to be quite candid, I should not be sorry if you could spare me a corner in which to stretch myself while my clothes are drying." The skipper turned upon Leslie rather sharply and scowlingly. "Look here, mister," he said, "don't you worry about the young lady, I'll look after her myself. She shall have the use of my cabin.
Edison, Colonel Smith, Sydney Phillips, Aina and myself advanced at the head of the procession, our guard following in close order behind us. It had been evident from the moment that we entered the palace that Aina was regarded with aversion by all of the Martians. Even the women about the throne gazed scowlingly at her as we drew near.

In our rear on the line of communication were the villages of Leunova, Ostrov and Kuzomen, which were scowlingly pro-Bolshevik. One of the commanders, Kulikoff, the bandit, hailed from Kuzomen. He was in constant touch with this area. When the winter trails were frozen more solidly he would try to lead a column through the forest to cut the line.
For nearly everything had been taken away by Paz, Mike or some of their rascally followers. Two or three Indians, some of them wounded, were coming back "from the front," so to speak.
