Mr Dombey caught the dark eyelash in its descent, and took the opportunity of arresting it. 'You have been to Warwick often, unfortunately? said Mr Dombey. 'Several times. 'The visit will be tedious to you, I am afraid. 'Oh no; not at all. 'Ah! You are like your cousin Feenix, my dearest Edith, said Mrs Skewton.
He felt as a dog feels who is dragged out of the fight just as it begins to get exciting. "No, I came to see you about this unfortunate engagement of my brother's." "Unfortunate?" asked Mr. Cord, without criticism. "I should consider it so, and I understand you do, too." Cord did not move an eyelash; this was an absolutely new form of attack.
Unheeding, regardless, they passed on without the wink of an eyelash to testify that they were conscious of his existence. And then he said to himself that this fair but pitiless city of Manhattan was without a soul; that its inhabitants were manikins moved by wires and springs, and that he was alone in a great wilderness.

It is really very odd that it should have that effect, unless it is that it raises expectations which I am unable to satisfy."

"Because I don't like him," she triumphantly argued. "Shake!" invited Johnny. "I know six reasons why I can do without him. What are your six?"

Of this transaction no one could complain. Esther alone could betray herself; but she would die rather than blink an eyelash. Clotilde had appeared with a little pink kerchief round her crane's neck, so she had won her game at the Hotel de Grandlieu.
