He grimaced at the ONE WAY stamped on it, then tore it into bits and let the pieces scatter over the floor. He counted them as they fell; thirty pieces, one for each year of his life. Little ones for the two years he'd wasted as a cop. Shreds for the four years as a kid in the ring before that he'd never made the top.
Kent grimaced and drew in a deep breath because of the tightness in his chest. Why was it that every one seemed to disbelieve him? Why was it that even this mysterious girl, whom he had never seen before in his life, politely called him a liar when he insisted that he had killed John Barkley? Was the fact of murder necessarily branded in one's face? If so, he had never observed it.
The natural love of incident and change which keeps life healthy had been starved in him by his labourer's condition. This sudden excitement had made a brute of him. The man next him grimaced, and took his pipe out of his mouth a moment. "She won't be able to do nothin' for 'im!
"'Morning," replied Jacob Farnum, ignoring the outstretched hand of Rhinds. Radwin's ready-made smile, too, was overlooked, as the Pollard submarine party filed by into the breakfast room. "I don't believe they'll waste any make-believe cordiality on us, after that," grimaced Mr. Pollard, as he dropped into a chair at a table.
"She is giving her husband the last honors," said Jeppe reprovingly. "That is the duty of every good wife." "Of course," rejoined Master Andres. "God knows, something must be done. It's like the performances on the other side of the earth, where the widow throws herself on the funeral pyre when the husband dies, and has to be burned to death." Baker Jorgen scratched his thighs and grimaced.
Don't you play cards at all?" "Mother won't have them in the house. We have `Quartettes, but they are different. ... Can you lose much at shilling points?" "A fair amount, if you're unlucky, but you can win it, too! I generally do win, as a matter of fact!" "What is the most you ever lost in a night?" Geoffrey grimaced expressively.
"We'll have the food to do it with." "There's one good point about Hen Dutcher, anyway," grimaced Tom Reade. "He's a good, sincere eater." "He was eating us out of camp," Dick replied. "Now, fellows, with Hen and Fits gone, we're all by ourselves just the crowd that we want. The snowcrust will bear, and we can move about. We ought to have a jolly time tramping about through the woods."
He was fairly well pleased with his success to date, but the grue of fear was still with him. He was getting part way where he wanted to be, but ... this was certainly no picnic he was muscling into. He remembered his father's injunction to take it easy at first, and grimaced wrily.
He grimaced hysterically and covered his face again. After a space he grew calm. He sat up, his hands hanging over his knees in almost precisely the same attitude in which Isbister had found him on the cliff at Pentargen. His attention was attracted by a thick domineering voice, the footsteps of an advancing personage. "What are you doing? Why was I not warned? Surely you could tell?
I was, such were my ruminations, to have agreed at once to his preposterous offer, and to have been driven, while he smirked and grimaced behind my back at his acquaintances, through Feltram in his dog-cart to Elverston; and then, to the just indignation of my uncle, to have been delivered up to Lady Knolly's guardianship, and to have handed my driver, as I alighted, the handsome fare of 20.000l.
