The court usher announced his name and purpose in a loud tone. "This is Hans, the charcoal-burner, who has undertaken to tell the Princess her dream to-morrow morning, or to pay the penalty." When the Princess looked at Hans and saw what a nice, open-faced boy he was, she did all she could to persuade him to give up the attempt.
Jim watched the operation with interest while the engineer and his fireman went methodically from part to part of the engine with their long billed oil cans. "She must be late," said Ketchel, looking keenly up the track and then at his heavy, open-faced watch. "What do you suppose is the matter with her?

Now for me, I allus have a curious promonition when anything is goin' to happen, an' I began to have it bad. Still the longer we played the easier Dick got in his ways, an' purty soon he was smilin' as open-faced as a dollar watch. We played along nice an' gentle; my luck arrived early, an purty soon the yella fellers begun to percalate in my direction.
The girl stared at him; she started a little as he raised his hat. She gave the slightest inclination of her head. It was not encouraging. Hugh sat down.

And his brother William, in need of a holiday from his busy factory, had taken a month to himself to see "the boy," as he called Horace, established in a new calling in the high-minded, open-faced West.

But with him: "The blueberry ain't so good to-day, I noticed. Try the peach?" "All right." He looked at her. She smiled. Incredibly, the dishes ordered seemed to leap out at her from nowhere. She crashed them down on the glazed white surface in front of him. The bacon-and-egg sandwich was served open-faced, an elaborate confection. Two slices of white bread, side by side.
Max Lobel, president of Lobel Masterfilms, Inc., also its founder, its chief stockholder and its general manager. He is a short, broad, thick, globular man and a bald one, wearing gold-rimmed spectacles, carrying a gold-headed cane and using a private gold-mounted toothpick after meals. His collars are of that old-fashioned open-faced kind such as our fathers and Mr.
Courtenay was utterly broken down, for Ethelwynn had told her the terrible truth that her husband had been murdered, and both women pounced upon me eagerly to ascertain what theory the police now held. I looked at the woman who had held me so long beneath her spell. Was it possible that one so open-faced and pure could be the author of so dastardly and cowardly a crime?
