It's awful to be with anyone who's under the weather." "Ghastly! I can't stand it! But, all the same, it's a fearful corvée to keep it up when you're persecuted as I am." "Poor old Addie!" Mr. Shiffney threw his cigar into the grate reflectively and lightly touched his moustaches, which were turned upward, but not in a military manner. "Things never seem quite right for you," he continued.
In this costume she was generally mistaken by the natives for a young Bey with his moustaches not yet grown, but we are told that her assumption of male dress was severely criticised by the English residents in the Levant.
So the campus dinner-tables were patronized by young persons with heavily penciled eyebrows and brightly rouged cheeks, who ate cautiously to avoid smearing their paint and powder, and than ran up-stairs to jeer at the masculine contingent whose beards and moustaches had condemned them to privacy and scanty fare.
The old seaman had twisted his white beard into a point, and now was busy giving his moustaches a fierce curl. His little red eyes those eyes that had smarted under the salt sprays of every sea, that had looked unwinking to windward in the gales of all latitudes now glared at Almayer from behind the lowered eyebrows like a pair of frightened wild beasts crouching in a bush.

His Majesty gave orders that each regiment should present arms in defiling before the bust, which maneuver was not to the taste of some grumblers of the first regiment of the Guard, who, with moustaches scorched, and faces still blackened with the powder of Jena, would have better liked an order for lodgings with the bourgeois than all this parade, and took no pains to conceal their ill-humor.
