Moreover, people were enraptured with this marriage, the happy ending of a love story which had impassioned the whole city: to begin with, love at first sight, with the suddenness of a lightning-flash, and then stubborn fidelity triumphing over all obstacles, amidst romantic circumstances whose story sped from lip to lip, moistening every eye and stirring every heart.
"'How do you do? I said, moistening my lips which already felt too wet, only I didn't know what was the matter with them. I held out my hand, unwontedly white, and he took it flabbily, instead of briskly and warmly as he usually did. "'Mother, he said, 'I want you to meet Miss Starr. "She wasn't at all the kind of millionaire's son's mother we have read about.
"Really," answered I, "one learns to forget time so terribly in the presence of Lady Hasselton that I do not remember even how long it has existed for me." "Bravo!" cried the knight, with a moistening eye; "you see, Madam, the boy has not lived with his old uncle for nothing."
I did not realize till the other day that when we climb to the Base we are considerably higher than the Malvern Hills. Mr. Keytel has had to throw away a great number of his dried fish. Some had become fly-blown, and some mildewed. The north wind does so much damage in moistening things, and so causing food to spoil. Monday, February 8.
I withdrew, at last, where he could not see me; but Seraphina never flinched in her task of moistening his lips with the strip of cloth she dipped in the brook, time after time, with a sublime perseverance of compassion.

"There were more than a hundred pieces, and every one of them gold " "Ah, every one of them gold." "You should have seen the sight when the leather trunk was opened. There wa'n't a piece that was so much as scratched; every one was like a mirror, smooth and bright, polished so that it looked black you know how I mean." "Oh, I know, I know," cried Zerkow, moistening his lips.
The caustic is for applying to your lips; it will be painful, but I am sure you will not mind that, and the injury will be only of a temporary nature. I cannot promise as much for the nitric acid; pray apply it very carefully, merely moistening the glass stopper and applying it with that. I should use it principally round the lips. It will burn and blister the skin.
An irreproachable man-servant, with the face of a sphinx, opened the door. Diana tried to speak, failed, then, moistening her lips, jerked out the words: "Signor Baroni?" "Have you an appointment?" came the relentless inquiry, and Diana could well imagine how inexorably the greatly daring who had come on chance would be turned away. "Yes oh, yes," she stammered.
The lad struggled to his feet and, crossing to the window, fumbled the shutter into place, his ghastly face turning and turning toward the revolver that glittered in such deadly fashion in Mr. Ravenslee's steady hand. At length, the shutters barred, the boy turned, and moistening dry lips, spoke hoarsely and with apparent effort. "Oh, mister don't go for to croak a guy as as ain't done nothing!"
When he had hunted down the elusive lead-pencil he moistened it on his tongue and set to work deliberately to draw on the slicker. The result of his work was simply a square. "That," he said, "is Steve's house." Moistening the pencil again, he drew another square, somewhat smaller, so that it just touched the other square corner to corner. "That's the kitchen," he explained.
