They would not let a dram of dead pay ouerslip them, they would not lend a groat of the weeke to come, to him that had spent his money before this weeke was done. They outfaced the greatest and most magnanimious servitours in their sincere and finigraphicall cleane shirts and cuffes.
Then, all at once, I saw a tear fall and another; and she that had sung undaunted to the tempest and outfaced its fury, sat bitterly weeping like any heart-broke maid, yet giving due heed to our course none the less. Presently, chancing to look my way, she catches me watching her and knits her slender brows at me: "Get you to sleep!" says she. "O get you to sleep nor trouble my grief!"
O God! how miserably, pitiably! The hot blood gushed all over him as he thought of the shame and disgrace of it. He, a man associating with poets, artists, sought after by brilliant women, accustomed to deference even from such people, to be sneered at, outfaced, shamed, shoved aside, by a man in a stained hickory shirt and patched overalls, and that man his brother!
If I could have done so with any remains of self-esteem I would now have fled from my foolhardy enterprise. I had outfaced these men, I would continue to outface them; come what might, I would stand by the word spoken. The sense of my own constancy somewhat uplifted my spirits, but not much.
But at this shift of topic the light faded from Anna's infantile blue eyes, and a wary look replaced it. "She got more as one feller," she remarked discouragingly. Billy, outfaced, departed, feeling rather contemptible as she walked down the street.
But we have outfaced a lot of ridicule. If the whiskered old sinners who hid away this stuff had met as much they might have given up piracy in disgust. Who knows?" With that Mr. Ellins snips the end from a fat black cigar, jams his hands in his pockets, and spreads his feet wide apart.
Who, with no face, as 'twere, outfaced me. Four o'clock. Plague on her green mantle, she can be nothing better than a fairy; she keeps possession of my head yet!
"You're the only man that ever outfaced me in my own office. I'll chance the rest, though I had your record looked up as soon as your name was cabled to me. I know not only who you are but what you are." Blake bent forward, frowning. "I've stood about enough of this." "Wait," said Mr. Leslie. "I'm not going to drag that in.
Although the first victim was now past all suffering, being no more a motive for heroism than so much mutton, the girl's blood was too hot with triumphant indignation to let her think of such an unimportant point as that. She was victor. She had outfaced and routed the foe. She had saved one victim. She would avenge the other.
Hardly had she finished when the Duke of Wellington was announced. "Well, Ma'am," he said as he entered, "I am very sorry to find there is a difficulty." "Oh!" she instantly replied, "he began it, not me." She felt that only one thing now was needed: she must be firm. And firm she was. The venerable conqueror of Napoleon was outfaced by the relentless equanimity of a girl in her teens.
