It will be understood that the orderliness was therefore due to a respect for Schmuck's strength, and not to any inclination to be orderly. On this night, then, at nine o'clock, a man entered and approached the bar. He was sharp-eyed, lean-faced, with a heavy blue beard closely shaven, saving the mustache, which was black and hung over the man's lips. He wore good clothes.
I liked him, and I cannot leave him without noting that he was of the lean-faced, slightly aquiline British type, with a light mustache; he was well dressed and well set up, and he spoke strongly, as North Britons do, with nothing of our people's husky whine. I found him on further acquaintance of anti-Chamberlain politics, pro-Boer as to the late war, and rather socialistic.
The Favershams were men of one stamp, lean-faced, hard as iron they lacked the elasticity of steel , rugged in feature; confident in expression, men with firm, level mouths but rather narrow at the forehead, men of resolution and courage, no doubt; but hardly conspicuous for intellect, men without nerves or subtlety, fighting-men of the first-class, but hardly first-class soldiers.
This was evidently a young Englishman, a being of a type raised quite abundantly in England, but more rarely seen in native Americans the lean-faced, rather flat-cheeked, high-cheek-boned, aquiline-nosed, florid- complexioned, silent, clean-built sort that would seem to represent the high-bred, finely drawn product of a long social evolution.
"No trouble, Lal?" she demanded, as the man reined up his pony. The direct manner of the girl was largely the result of her new responsibilities. Lal Hobhouse was a lean-faced specimen of sun-dried manhood. His appearance suggested all wires and indifference to the nicenesses of life. His long moustache drooped mournfully below his square chin.
She would not have been surprised to see the lean-faced man begin to shoot at the others. Filled with sudden trepidation she took a step away from the shed, intending to return to the station and wait for her answer. As she moved she heard a low moan. She started, paling, and then stood stock still, trembling with dread, but determined not to run.
Grimly, MacNair led his warriors to the attack, and as the lean-faced horde moved silently through the timbered aisles of the swamp, the sound of scattering shots was borne to their ears as the scouts exchanged bullets with Lapierre's sentries.
I admit, I am not a mere anatomy, I am not a mere hungry, lean-faced, lantern-jawed, hollow-eyed, sallow-cheeked, vulture-beaked, over-dressed exiguity, like well, mark you, I name no names. I think I shall lay myself at the feet of Donna Susanna. The rest of the sex" his gesture put them from him "may coif St. Catherine."
No? did the treatment she was getting merely as Irby, with much truth, on that twenty-ninth remarked in a group about a headquarters camp-fire near Grand Gulf did it merely seem so bad to poor New Orleans? Oh, but! as the dingy, lean-faced Hilary cried, springing from the ground where he lay and jerking his pipe from his teeth was it not enough for a world's pity that to her it seemed so?
Well, if so, it was no affair of his, and he could not spare a hand. Now, when at length the weather had moderated, just as he was hauling up his anchor, comes the Abbot of Blossholme, on whose will he had been bidden to wait, with a lean-faced monk and another passenger, said to be a sick religious, wrapped up in blankets and to all appearance dead.
