'Thank you, I returned, 'some other time. 'Have it carried half a quarter of an inch towards the temple, said Miss Mowcher. 'We can do it in a fortnight. 'No, I thank you. Not at present.
Gabriel, having thrown aside his hat on entering, was now directly beneath the skylight of the garret apartment, the bright light through which shone upon his sweet, pale countenance: and the round scar, which extended from one eyebrow to the other, was therefore distinctly visible.
She had seen Lady Victoria's expressive boudoir at Capheaton, and its mate in Curzon Street, and relieved the envy they inspired in a caustic epigram that happily did not reach the insolent beauty's ear. "These old coquettes," she had lisped, with an amused uplift of one eyebrow. "They surround themselves with the atmosphere of the demi-monde and forget that a wrinkle is as fatal as a chaperon."
Callandar pushed back his sweat-bedewed hair with fingers which left a fearsome streak above his left eyebrow. The girl laughed. But the doctor's decorated face was rueful. "Do you know, Miss Esther, I'm afraid it isn't a bit funny."
When I paused for a moment exhausted he signed gravely, with unchanged face, that though it was undeniably funny, he had not yet decided whether it was funny enough, and, taking this for encouragement, at it I went once more, till I saw his forces wavering, when I sent my left eyebrow up almost farther than I could bring it back, and with that I had him, the smile broke through the clouds.

Sue Hemphill, completely covered with a gingham apron from head to foot, was in her element "making up." "Don't wiggle so, Blue Bonnet," she commanded, as that young person squirmed under the rigorous treatment she was receiving. "I'll have you looking like a Chinaman in a minute if you don't hold still. I've got to take that eyebrow off it slants too much. There that's better! Isn't it, Wee?
But in his cups the wicked old hypocrite had often been known to boast that he paid the lord of the manor as much money as the rent of a small farm. One of Luke's eyes was closed with a kind of watery rheum, and was never opened except when he thought a rabbit was about to jump into a net. The other was but half open, and so overhung with a thick grey eyebrow as to be barely visible.
"And here is something to put in the poor-box," answered Sarrion with his twisted smile. "By my soul," he exclaimed, when they were left alone, "this place reeks of hypocrisy." He looked round the walls with a raised eyebrow.
He had an odd trick of lifting one of his eyebrows very high and at an acute angle when perplexed or ill at ease. This eccentric left eyebrow now quite wedge-shaped had gone up almost to the edge of his tousled gray hair. Ruth patted his great clumsy hands with her little deft ones.
