They told him now of this one. He nodded again, close lipped. "An' ye want courts an' the settlements, boys?" said he. "Fer me, when I kill a rattler, that's enough. Ef ye're touchy an' want yer ree-cord clean, why, we kin go below an' fix hit. Only thing is, I don't want ter waste no more time'n I kin help, fer some o' them horses has a ree-cord that ain't maybe so plumb clean their own selves.
And he no longer shuffled, but walked lightly, grinning at Rainey through his beard, with one blunt forefinger set to his mouth as he approached the cabin skylight, lifted on the port side. Through it came the murmur of voices. The blind man nodded in satisfaction and widened his grin with a warning "hush-h" to his guide. "We'll fool 'em proper," he lipped rather than uttered.
"If only you had taken me into your confidence on board the Yorck!" "Ah, but did you offer me the chance?" she returned. "I never realized till now that a chap might be too close lipped sometimes. Well, here we are, in flight together!" That night for the first time in many hours Kathlyn closed her eyes with a sense of security.
To his first hurried impression of her as an elegant and delicately nurtured woman one of the class of distinguished tourists that fashion was beginning to send thither he had now to add that she had a quantity of fine silken-spun light hair gathered in a heavy braid beneath her gray hat; that her mouth was very delicately lipped and beautifully sensitive; that her soft skin, although just then touched with excitement, was a pale faded velvet, and seemed to be worn with ennui rather than experience; that her eyes were hidden behind a strip of gray veil whence only a faint glow was discernible.
The great ships rolled and plunged, the tide came racing by them, blue-green water lipped with foam, carrying upon it unknown weeds, golden fruit floating, wreckage unfamiliar, a dead fish scarlet-rayed, a basket strangely wrought drifting heralds of a country of dreams.
Big hawk-moths, swift and sudden, darted by him with owl-like wings. Mocking-birds broke into silvery, irrepressible singing, and water-birds croaked and rustled in the cove, where the tide-water lipped the land. The slim, black pine-trees nodded and bent to one another, with the moon looking over their shoulders.
"And now for the other things," Bill continued; "the attacks upon the defenseless girl the attempted murder from ambush and the starving of an old woman." Blow followed blow, until in the crowd men cried out sharply, and those who had watched a hundred fights turned away white lipped. Moncrossen fought blindly now. His eyes were closed and his face one solid mass of blood.
The Senator is a tall, lank, ungainly looking man; thin lipped, with mean, cunning eyes, strained ever for the main chance. A few tufts of reddish hair are flattened on either side of his cranium, and his nose and chin were sharpened on the grindstone of necessity and early hardship into twin beaks.
On it came with resistless and solemn majesty the upper edge lipped gently over, and it fell with a roar that seemed as though the heart of Ocean were broken in the crash of tumultuous water, while the foam-clad coral reef appeared to tremble beneath the mighty shock! We gazed long and wonderingly at this great sight, and it was with difficulty we could tear ourselves away from it.
A brunette of eighteen who looked twenty, full-blooded, full lipped, full curved, sleepy-eyed, she seemed dressed by nature for the part of the world and the flesh with a hint of the devil in those deep, dark, pansy blue eyes that seemed now by artificial light almost black.
