However, being an exceedingly dull creature, he was quite naturally a polite one. He was a good listener. You could speak English to him by the hour and never be annoyed by verbal interruptions. At regular intervals he would insert a shrug of the shoulders, or nod his head, or lift an eye-brow, or spread out his hands, or purse his lips, and he never smiled unless you did.
The ready grin and supple inclination with which his salutation, though slight, was answered by the foreigner, increased the internal dislike which Lovel had already conceived towards him; and it was plain, from the lower of the Antiquary's shaggy eye-brow, that he too looked with displeasure on this addition to the company.
Baxter as has been said, was his valet, and had been his father's valet, before him, and as to age, might have been thirty, or forty, or fifty, as he stood there beside the table, with one eye-brow raised a trifle higher than the other, waiting for Bellew to speak. "Baxter." "Sir?" "Take a seat." "Thank you sir."
I observe the fine sheen of her hair, the pretty cut of her frock, the glint of her white teeth, the arch of her eye-brow, the graceful curve of her arm. I listen to the exquisite murmur of her voice. Gradually I fall asleep but only for an instant. At once, observing it, she raises her voice ever so little, and I am awake.
I did not think the eye of man would again have seen a tear on MacGregor's eye-lash." He dashed the moisture from his long gray eye-lash and shaggy red eye-brow with the back of his hand. "To-morrow morning," he said, "we'll talk of this, and we will talk, too, of your affairs for we are early starters in the dawn, even when we have the luck to have good beds to sleep in.
As I bent over, fascinated by the keen, bright look of the wounded bird, and reached down my hand to pick him up, there was a flash deep in the eye, like the glint of sunshine from a mirror, and I dodged instinctively. Well for me that I did so. Something shot by my face like lightning, opening up a long red gash across my left temple from eye-brow to ear. As I jumped I heard a careless laugh.
Stephen flung himself down again contentedly in the grasses at her feet, pillowing his chin in his palms and looking up at her, adoringly. "You are so beautiful, dear lady. I love to look at you. Will you tilt that hat a little more over the left eye-brow? Yes so some day I shall paint you." His tone and manner were all simplicity. "When you are a great artist," said Beatrice, indulgently.
I have heard him refuse a dozen good plants the last month. Besides, I don't want a canting son of a gun for my pal ten to one if he don't turn tail and perhaps split." N. B. All this not in English, but in thieve's cant, with an oath or a nasty expression at every third word. The sentences measled with them. "You don't know how to take him," replied he of the Mephistopheles eye-brow.
But the hill women do not say things easily. "Yes?" said the Bishop gently. "I understand." She was a woman of his people. Clearly as if she had taken an hour to tell it, he could read the years of her faithfulness to the memory of that lean, dark face which he had once seen, with the purple scar above the eye-brow. Mrs. Whiting put her arm protectingly about her sister.
Teaching, explaining, inculcating, or giving orders to an inferior, requires an air of superiority to be assumed. The features are to be composed of an authoritative gravity. The eye steady, and open, the eye-brow a little drawn down over it; but not so much as to look surly or dogmatical.
