Crewe with an amusement which was gradually getting the better of her anger. A few moments since, and she wished with great intensity that she had been using the whip on his shoulders instead. Now that she had time to gather up the threads of the situation, the irresistibly comic aspect of it grew upon her, and little creases came into the corners of her eyes which Mr. Crewe admired.
"I guess she wouldn't last much longer at this business," she said, smoothing the creases out of the glove fingers. "She's got a pinched look and her cheeks are mighty pink. No, it ain't paint; I asked right out, and she answered just as nice as could be. She seems tired, poor girl, and mortally glad to have some one take an interest.
There was not much to see. The scrap of paper itself was evidently a quarter of a leaf of old-fashioned, stoutish notepaper, somewhat yellow with age, and bearing evidence of having been folded and kept flat in the dead man's purse for some time the creases were well-defined, the edges were worn and slightly stained by long rubbing against the leather.
The artist breaks up the contours round the mouth, so that they look a little as a hat does that has been sat upon and recovered itself, ready, as one would say, to crumple up again in the same creases, on smiling or other change of feature. Hold on! Stop that! Give a young fellow a chance! Are we not whole years short of that interesting period of life when Mr.
We may therefore conclude that if a triangle, before being dragged in by the apex, had been dragged into a burrow by its base with even a slight degree of force, the basal part would long retain its creases and remain dirty.

"I've got my share o' warm blood, tu, Billy." It was apparent. Mrs. Coomstock's plump neck bulged in creases over the dirty scrap of white linen that represented a collar, while her massive bust seemed bursting through her apparel.

"There's something bigger than self with us all, Senator; and we have to work for it." "My dear child, do you think you need to tell an old stager that?" He was kicking the creases out of his trousers.
Thus banked, motion ceased, and silence reigned. Clear to the horizon, league on league, the snowy floor stretched without a break not level, but in rounded folds, with shallow creases between, and with here and there stately piles of vapory architecture lifting themselves aloft out of the common plain some near at hand, some in the middle distances, and others relieving the monotony of the remote solitudes.
