Only Grey was happy; Grey, grown from the blue-eyed baby boy, who used to dig his little heels so vigorously into the rotten base-board under the bench in the wood-shed of the farm house, into the tall, blue-eyed, open-faced lad of fourteen, of whom it could be truly said that never had his parents been called upon to blush for a mean or vicious act committed by him.
With a sense of shame, he caught up the little mirror in his casket, and could not but allow to himself that the features he there saw were symmetrical the eyes azure, the complexion of a delicate fairness, such as he had not seen equaled, except in those splendid Lorraine princes; nor could he judge of the further effect of his open-faced frank simplicity and sweetness of expression contemptible, perhaps, to the astute, but most winning to the world-weary.
He sat out on the porch with Rudie and Ivy and talked baseball, and got up to show Rudie how he could have got the goat of that Keokuk catcher if only he had tried one of his famous open-faced throws. Rudie looked politely interested, and laughed in all the right places. But Ivy didn't need to pretend. Rudie Schlachweiler spelled baseball to her.
I began to breathe like my wife crochets an open-faced stocking one, two, three, drop one; one, two, three, four, drop one. Then my blood began to curdle and cold chills ran up my back and liked it so well they ran down again. My respiration was 8 to 1, my inspiration was 9 to 6 for a place, and my perspiration was like a cloudburst.
"Vair nice gentlemans, Meester Creeton," whispers Helma. "I know," says I; "you're judgin' by the hat." She springs that silly grin of hers, as usual. No matter what I say, it gets open-faced motions out of Helma. But I really wasn't feelin' so humorous.
Beside the plate he had laid his watch, an open-faced nickel one about the size of a desk-clock. "Do you think that is everything?" "I believe that is all." "Do you remember me?" then asked Sharlee. He glanced at her briefly through his spectacles, his eyes soon returning to his supper. "I think not." The girl smiled suddenly, all by herself.
Prince Henry of Wales, tall, comely, open-faced, and well-built, a noble lad of eighteen who called to men's minds, so "rare Ben Jonson" says, the memory of the hero of Agincourt, that other thunderbolt of war, Harry the Fifth, to whom in face you are So like, as Fate would have you so in worth;
In the evenin' he made a confession that tipped off the way his mind was workin'. "This is the first time I ever felt nervous before a race," said he. "Mebbe it's because it's goin' to be my last race; mebbe it's because that Injun knows me and ain't scared of me. Anyhow, I'm scared of him. That open-faced, Elgin-movement buck has got me tickin' fast."
Scattergood looked frequently at a big, open-faced, silver watch which was connected to his vest in pickpocket-proof fashion with a braided leather thong. When it told him nine thirty had arrived, he got up, his telescope in his hand, and ambled heavily down the corridor. He poked his head in at an open door, and called, amiably, "Kin anybody tell me where to find Mr. Castle?"
They can't exactly change the style of a suit it's got to be open-faced and have tails but they work in some little improvement like a braid on or off, or an extra buttonhole, or a flare in the vest each year; so that a really bang-up-to-date chap would blush all over if he had to wear a last year's model. I notice the automobile makers are doing the same stunt.
