She suddenly understood that this pasty-faced, despicable chap had placed the coin where it might have accidentally rolled, where she would be likely to find it. He had complained that morning that she did not keep his room sufficiently clean!
Mostly it's female voices that floats up, and they was all tuned to the saw-filin' pitch. A pasty-faced young gent wearin' a green eye-shade and an office coat comes beatin' it up the marble steps, and I fires a question at him on the fly. "Is it a gen'ral rough-house number," says I, "or have the suffragettes broke loose again?"
She sat there, vaguely tormented at times by the thought of her absent husband, but most of the time thinking tearfully of nothing at all, looking with swimming eyes at her little son at the big-headed, pasty-faced, and sickly Louis Willems who rolled a glass inkstand, solid with dried ink, about the floor, and tottered after it with the portentous gravity of demeanour and absolute absorption by the business in hand that characterize the pursuits of early childhood.
It's very likely that your wicked Mr. Lowder in private life in New Hampshire is a good husband and father, and contributes to all the charitable organizations." "I won't change my conception of him as a pasty-faced demon," insisted Marise. It appeared that Mr.
Upon the opposite wall were many strange instruments and devices, and in the center of the room stood a long table, at which two men were seated in earnest conversation.

I could have bought sixpenny-worth, followed her, and tormented her with them; while she would have pretended indignation sought, discreetly, to escape from me. Down South, where the blood flows quicker, King Carnival is, indeed, a jolly old soul.

On our way back we saw Prince Rupert, a fat pasty-faced man, driving out in his coach.
Once, seeing a painted, over-dressed or rather under-dressed, girl in the arms of a pasty-faced, protruding-eyed roué, both obviously under the spell of too much liquid inspiration, Ted suffered a momentary revulsion and qualm of conscience. He shouldn't have brought Madeline here. It wasn't the sort of place to bring a girl, no matter how good the music was. Oh, well!
Mavis dragged her weary limbs to the end house in the row, where, in reply to her knock, a tall, pasty-faced, crossed-eyed woman, who carried an empty jug, answered the door. "I thought you was Mrs Bonus," remarked the woman. "I want a room for the night. I used to lodge with Mrs Ellis at number 20." "Did yer? There! I do know yer face. Come inside."
