"I I want to know what it means." Again Jude spoke, and this time a tone of command rang through the words. The corners of Joyce's mouth twitched she had a wonderfully expressive mouth. Suddenly she raised her eyes. They did not hold the expression Jude might have expected from her disturbed silence. His growing courage took a step back, but his passion rushed forward proportionately.
Frances, I am sure, read my thoughts, for the corners of her mouth twitched and she looked away over the course. "Won't you ask Mr. Heathcroft to join our game Uncle?" she said. She had dropped the hated "Hosea," I am happy to say, but in the presence of those outside the family she still addressed me as "Uncle." Of course she could not do otherwise without arousing comment, but I did not like it.
A chorus of encouraging shouts burst out for him, and one brave voice flung out a heartening word for me said: "Go it, slim Jim!" It was an even bet that Clarence had procured that favor for me and furnished the language, too. When that formidable lance-point was within a yard and a half of my breast I twitched my horse aside without an effort, and the big knight swept by, scoring a blank.
David, never the best runner, was only in time to catch Johnnie by the skirt upon the third step of the staircase, crying out, "The pig!" but Johnnie, tired of the subject, and in a provoking mood, twitched away his pinafore, crying, "Bother the pig!" and rushed up after the four who had preceded him, leaving such lumps of dirt on the edge of every step, that when Miss Fosbrook came after with Elizabeth she could not but declare that a shower was a costly article.
As he did so he was aware of a slight, curious expression in the face he had disliked. The eyelids twitched, the upper lip drew down tight over the teeth, the nostrils widened. It was a sudden contraction and then flexing of the muscles, an involuntary grimace, gone almost as soon as it had come. With murmured thanks, Mayer stretched his hand and took the wine.
"You never told me who lived beyond the wall," returned Gnulemah, with simple dignity; and added, "You are no less to me than before, but Balder is my love!" The last words came shyly from her lips, and she swayed gently, like a noble tree, towards him she named. Manetho's lips worked against each other, and his body twitched.
"Look!" said Eurie, "that arrangement doesn't suit; some of the stars are hidden; see them twitch it; it will be down! Now that one has it looped just to her fancy. No! I declare, there it comes down again! The other one twitched it this time; they are not of the same mind. Girls, do look!
Gary, an American in British uniform, twitched a newspaper toward himself, slouched in his chair, and continued to read for a while. The paper was French and two weeks old; he jerked it about irritably. Gray, resting his elbows on his knees, sat gazing vacantly out of the narrow window. For a smart officer he had grown slovenly.
Instead of dingy velveteen he had brown fur, soft and shiny, his ears twitched by themselves, and his whiskers were so long that they brushed the grass.
What I would most like to know is this: where is all that treasure, now?" "I cannot tell you, Master." "At Mecca?" "No, Master, not at Mecca." "Then where?" "M'almé! "Not against the commands of thy sheik and I am thy sheik!" Rrisa's lips twitched. The inner struggle of his soul reflected itself in his lean, brown face.
