He took the sentence like the man he strove to be, drew himself up with a quivering under-lip, saluted, and, once clear of the room, ran to weep bitterly in his nursery called by him "my quarters." Coppy came in the afternoon and attempted to console the culprit. "I'm under awwest," said Wee Willie Winkie mournfully, "and I didn't ought to speak to you."
They were very marked features, such as lend themselves to popular description. There was the high arched nose, the prominent under-lip, the coronet of thick dark hair above the brow, all seeming to tell of energy and passion; there were the blue-grey eyes, shining mildly under auburn eyelashes, seeming, like the hands, to tell of acute sensitiveness.
That one yonder who is talking in a little group of frayed frock-coats." Pierre at last perceived the man in question. He had broad red ears, a hanging under-lip, a large nose, and big, projecting dull eyes.
If we for a moment forgot so important a personage as the future Grand Duke, it must have been because he supported his character so ably that no one for an instant believed that it was an assumed one; standing near the side scenes of the amphitheatre, with his gloomy brow, sad eye, protruding under-lip, and arms hanging straight by his sides, he looked a bigot without hope, and a tyrant without purpose.
This sculptor, in many respects admirable, has given a very mean expression to his statue of David, who is represented as just going to throw the stone from the sling; and in order to give it the expression of energy he has made him biting his under-lip. This expression is far from being general, and still farther from being dignified.

His eyes were closing fast, and a lump as large as a plover's egg hung on his under-lip. "Seize those men!" he shouted, and began a string of oaths, but stopped because the utterance caused him agony. The sergeant, who had been bending over him, drew his side-arm and advanced a hulking big fellow with a pimply face and an ugly look in his eye.
You must think of something else." "There is no other way," he said. He dropped back, his head sunk on his breast, his teeth gnawing at the projecting under-lip; and she stood looking down at him, though scarcely seeing him. Suddenly he glanced up at her, his lips twitching; a certain furtive gleam in his light eyes. "Oh, well, never mind, old girl!" he said, with an affectation of concurrence.
A glimmer of skin, pallid as marble; the beginning of the nose, the whole nose; the upper lip, exquisitely, delicately cut; the teeth, white and even on the whole, but here and there a shining gold filling; the under-lip, soft and gentle; a mouth I knew, but God! where? In my dreams, in the wild fantasies that had oft-times visited my pillow at night in delirium, in reality, where? Mon Dieu!
In the third round the latter received another bad wound in the head, and the former had his under-lip divided.
