I can't remember when I didn't look with eagerness for that crinkle in his eyes, even when I was a child and he what I at that time considered a most glorious grownup individual, though he must have been the most helpless hobbledehoy that ever existed. "You don't need another vine," I answered mutinously.
For even while she was speaking the corners of Steve's eyelids began to crinkle; before she had finished mocking at him in a voice that still caught unsteadily in her throat, it was her up-turned face which had grown pink under his gravely amused scrutiny. "Was it as bad as that?" he asked.
She saw him look at the clock on the mantelshelf and crinkle up his forehead. Day must be stretching itself somewhere. She got up, quickly. How could she say it? She was losing him. "Are you angry with me, Marty?" she asked, trying to fumble her way to honesty. "No, Joan. But it's very late. You ought to be in bed." "Didn't you think that I should miss you while you've been away?" "No, Joan. Look.
"This Miss Todd postmistress?" "Yes." "Got your check bought you twenty Rock Creek at ten -mail you certificate to-morrow." The following morning the certificate took the place of the check pinned tight. She could feel it crinkle when she walked. All that day she moved about her office like one dazed. There was no exaltation no thrill of triumph. A dull, undefined terror took possession of her.
When I think of Bombay now, at this distance of time, I seem to have a kaleidoscope at my eye; and I hear the clash of the glass bits as the splendid figures change, and fall apart, and flash into new forms, figure after figure, and with the birth of each new form I feel my skin crinkle and my nerve-web tingle with a new thrill of wonder and delight.
Her eyes had the adorable trick of seeming to crinkle to a mirth which would have been an extremely pleasant phenomenon to witness had she been laughing with him instead of at him. As matters stood, Packard was quite prepared to dislike her heartily. "I'd add to your kind information that the trail is open at both ends," he told her significantly.
Frances was chilled with the horror of that brigandish act. Every movement of the wind in the bushes made her skin crinkle and creep; every sound of animals in barn and corral was magnified into some new danger. Mrs. Chadron was in far worse state, with reason, certainly, for being so.
Then, you know, they come out just as nice and crisp, and brown; they have soaked up all the beef gravy, and they crinkle between your teeth " Jim "Now, I tell you, mashed Neshannocks with butter on 'em is plenty good enough for me."
Then he turned to his servants and said: "Please take General Crinkle to the torture chamber. There you will kindly slice him into thin slices. Afterward you may feed him to the seven-headed dogs." "Anything to oblige your Majesty," replied the servants, politely, and led the condemned man away. When they had gone, the King addressed the army again. "Listen!" said he.
I turned away and closed my eyes, and tried to evoke a vision of white surf falling upon the beach, of tall trees swaying in the breeze, of a brook dropping gently between green banks. "Fountains that frisk and sprinkle The moss they overspill; Pools that the breezes crinkle,"... and then I stopped, for the door had opened. I unclosed my eyes to see the office-boy gazing at me in astonishment.
