But the usual spirit was absent from his voice, and he glanced at me soberly. I knew I had turned white, for I felt the peculiar cold sensation on my face. "Now, look at that, will you?" cried Jones. "I don't like the looks of that." He pointed to the herd. They stopped browsing, and were uneasily shifting to and fro. The bull lifted his head; the others slowly grouped together. "Storm!
"I don't think it's a very appropriate present for Faith," she said, "and I've always wanted one, but we could never find one so pretty in our stores." Vera looked at her very soberly. "Now you just stop staring at me like that, Vera. I guess it's mine, and I have a right to keep it if I can think of something that would please Faith better. Now let me see. I must think of something for Ernest.
She had a way of confining a smile to them, when wishing merely to express good-will or pleasure, which was peculiar to herself, and very effective.

I began by grannying bugs for him," he tossed his head bull-like in my direction, "and I stand around swallowing hot air from you " He glared at Laurence, "and what's the result?

She did not urge the project upon him. Instead, though in considerable anxiety, she left the proposition open to his own judgment.
