"I think I'll ride on," said Morgan, feeling a natural desire for shelter against that grim-faced storm. The oncoming cloud had swept its flank across the sun before Morgan rode into town, and in the purple shadow of its threat people stood before their houses, watching it unfold.
The boxes were filled, and up in the gallery grim-faced patrons of the drama, who had paid their shillings at the door and intended to get a shilling's-worth of entertainment in return, sat and waited stolidly for the curtain to rise. First nights at the theatre always excited Jill.

"The word captain, or colonel, makes the fat citizen trot in these days, when one sword is worth fifty corporation charters. But there are dragoons yonder, as well as the grim-faced knave whom I frightened the other evening when I showed my face in at the window. Think'st thou the knaves will show no rough play?"
What could it mean? Was Nix an enemy, and was some one else of his gang attacking Anita? Certainly she was in trouble! Fearless Frank stepped back aghast, as he saw the inhuman chief of the Sioux the cruel, grim-faced warrior, Sitting Bull; shrunk back, and laid his hand upon the butt of a revolver. "Ha!" he articulated, "is that you, chief?

I listened to this comfortable sail-loft sage, and going back to the grocery store one afternoon took another look at the long, grim-faced silent figure.
That was conclusive enough for Owajima; if, contrary to all other evidence, DarLeras had gone renegade, he would have removed the tattoo rather than simply covering it. When Nevan woke, he was spread-eagled, tied to his bunk with a grim-faced Oriental man holding a gun on him.
"Yes, I will, Grace. I'll come often, too. You shan't stay there long." "Good-by," said Grace, faltering. "You have all been very kind to me." "Good-by, my dear child," said Mrs. Pomeroy. "Who knows but you can return to us when the new house is done?" So poor Grace went out from her pleasant home to find the deacon, grim-faced and stern, waiting for her. "Jump in, little girl," he said.
The fear that the day of grace had passed pressed heavily upon him; he was humbled, and bemoaned the time that he had wasted. Now he was confronted with that 'grim-faced one, the Captain Past-hope, with his terrible standard, carried by Ensign Despair, red colours, with a hot iron and a hard heart, and exhibited at Eye-gate.
