Directly over his left cheek-bone there is a long rectangular mole " "Yes! yes!" cried Emily. "I remember. Why, father " Mr. Maddledock had been sipping his wine. As Emily suddenly looked up and addressed him, he twirled the glass carelessly between his thumb and finger, remarking, as if this were the only feature of the story that at all impressed him, "A mole, did you say? What a monstrosity!"
And all the time she knew that this Nora whom she seemed to be watching had flushed a cruel red clear to her temples and that a funny little pulse was beating, oh, so fast, so fast! way up by her cheek-bone. It couldn't have been her heart. Her heart had never gone as fast as that. Then she had heard Gertie say: "Nora insulted me a while ago before all of you and I guess she wants to apologize."
"What a child you are still, Miranda," said her mother, sentimentally, as she fondled the high cheek-bone. "You are quite companions," said Lady Esmondet. "We are bosom friends; more than sisters since the departure of my dear husband." "Mr. Marchmont has been dead some time, I believe."
But that scar on the cheek-bone doesn't help your looks a bit, my boy. Still, you mustn't kick about that, I reckon, for if that slice of rock had come along an inch or so farther to the right you'd have been tuerto now. Not that your eyes are anything to be stuck up about, though; they're neither brown nor green, nor any other recognized color; just a sort of mixture like Pedro's estofados.
Wid that I gave him both, one after the other, smash through the low gyard that he'd been taught whin he was a boy, an' the eyebrow shut down on the cheek-bone like the wing av a sick crow. "Will ye hear reason now, ye brave man?" sez I. "Not whoile I can speak," sez he, staggerin' up blind as a stump.
"Por Dios!" he wailed, "it iss Limping Deek!" and so fled. Dick followed up his advantage, forcing the pace, but Ockley would have none of it until he had worked himself into the middle of the floor; then suddenly coming again, got home with a tremendous right which Dick failed to stop with anything better than his left cheek-bone.
With the first beam came the West-Floridian and the Creole out upon the bank below the village. Upon the parson's arm hung a pair of antique saddle-bags. Baptiste limped wearily behind; both his eyes were encircled with broad, blue rings, and one cheek-bone bore the official impress of every knuckle of Colossus's left hand. The "beautiful to take care of somebody" had lost his charge.
The boy turned not a hair, though he turned a little pale.... His mouth grew extraordinarily like that of his grandfather and a little muscular pulse beat beneath his cheek-bone. "And what do you think of my pleasantries, my young friend?" inquired Grandfather. "Feeling at all witty now?" "Havlan is failing a bit, Sir," was the cool reply.
The scratches she had given him before their marriage were nothing to these. One side of his nose was well-nigh ripped open, and there were two big, deep gashes running right across his face, from the cheek-bone to his ear.
His high color had already fled except for a spot on either cheek-bone that lent a brightness to his eyes. He glanced around the cabin. It looked familiar and yet strange. Rather, it looked strange BECAUSE still familiar, and therefore incongruous with the new atmosphere that surrounded it discordant with the echo of their last meeting, and painfully accenting the change.
