Houten's launch rounded the Barang's stern and the trader searched the waters with outthrust head that contrasted strongly with his previous attitude of nonchalance. Something rolled upwards on the surface at the very edge of the grasses and disappeared again. In a few seconds it appeared again, and now Vandersee's red, strangling face emerged from the water.
His face was dark; he was scowling; his chin was pugnaciously outthrust and his voice rumbled as he exclaimed: "The deuce it is! Say! I don't like the way you talk about that girl." "You don't, eh?" O'Reilly eyed him quizzically. "Would you care to have your sister do what she's doing?" "That's not the point. You can't compare her with ordinary women."
He was indeed a very ancient man, though very nattily dressed from spotless collar to shiny patent leather shoes, a small, dandified, bright-eyed man whose broken nose and battered features bore eloquent testimony to long and hard usage. "'Ook it!" he croaked, with square bony jaw fiercely outthrust. "We don't want no peanuts 'ere, d'j 'ear?
Curse you, I " He shrank hastily back before the ominous outthrust of Jimmie Dale's automatic. "Wrap it up, Niccolo, and tie a string around it!" snapped Jimmie Dale. And again, but snarling, cursing now, the man obeyed. Jimmie Dale's hand went into his pocket, and came out with his handkerchief.
Commander O'Brine stepped through, his square jaw outthrust and his face flushed with anger. He bellowed, "Where's Foster?" His voice was so loud that Rip heard him even through the bubble. He stepped out of the boat and faced the irate commander. O'Brine ordered, "Get him out of that suit." Two spacemen jumped forward. One twisted Rip's bubble free and lifted it off.
A slight outthrust of his lower jaw made his face strangely brutal, conscienceless. And his cloudy agate eyes were unreadable. "Look here, Terry," he argued calmly, but Terry could see that the voice was raised so that it would undubitably reach the ears of the farthest of the four men. "I don't mind letting a gambling debt ride when a gent ain't got anything more to put up for covering his money.
"We'll be movin' back to camp." Instantly her eyes betrayed the fear she would not put into words. "No no! I won't go." His lids narrowed. The outthrust of his lean jaw left no room for argument. "You'll go where I say." She knew it would be that way, if he dragged her by the hair of the head. Because she was in such evil case she tamed her pride to sullen pleading. "Don't take me there!
The aspect was not uninviting, seen under the charitable cloak of February's snow, sun-touched by the freshly risen luminary, the white expanses glinting; all the rocks and ledges and the barren shapes were covered. But under summer's frank sunlight Egypt was as disheartening a spectacle as a racked old horse, ribs and hip bones outthrust, waiting for the knacker's offices.
Jimmie Dale could picture the oily smirk, the shrug of his shoulders, the outthrust hands, palms upward, elbows in at the hips, the fingers curved and wide apart "fifteen years, or what you get for murder? Eh, my friend, you have thought of that eh? It is a very little price I ask yes?" "Damn you!" Burton's voice was shrill, then dropped to a half sob. "No, no, Isaac, I didn't mean that.
"Well, I always used to call her 'Nona. She'd have thought it funny, as you call it, to put anything else. I tell you it's just her way." "Well, I think it's a very funny way and I think anybody else would think so. I don't like her. I never did like her." There seemed no more to say. He walked up to his room. He closed the door behind him and sat on a straight-backed chair, his legs outthrust.
