So, under protest, therefore a protest more distinctly written in the general puckering up of his round, plump face, and a certain sulky swell about his usually smiling mouth it was clear he meant to listen, cost him what it might. Besides, when he had heard what the count had to say, it was clearly his duty to reason with him. Who could tell that he might not yield to such a process?
There were not many people on the platform, and I had just decided that I was not going to be disturbed, when suddenly a fussy-looking little old gentleman emerged from the booking office, followed by a porter carrying his bag. They came straight for my carriage. The old gentleman reached it first, and puckering up his face, peered in at me through the window.
Jason, as he spoke, passed his hard, brown finger over the upper and then the under row of his teeth; but the housekeeper, puckering her mouth in the attempt to hide many a blemish behind her own lips, answered: "Your teeth are as faithful to you as our hair is to us, for men know how to use them more stoutly than women. Now show what you can do.
The embroidery must be in exactly the right place, and it must be fastened firmly at both ends. This embroidery is not a meaningless fashion, for the lines make the hand look much more slender and of a better shape. Sewing in the thumbs needs special care and skill. There must be no puckering, and the seam must not be so tightly drawn as to leave a red line on the hand when the glove is taken off.
"I am not displeased with your novel, so far as it has gone," said my father, graciously; "though as for the Sermon " Here I trembled; but the ladies, Heaven bless them! had taken Parson Dale under their special protection; and observing that my father was puckering up his brows critically, they rushed forward boldly in defence of The Sermon, and Mr. Caxton was forced to beat a retreat.
Boy after boy had a try at it, with the same effect: you could not speak the name without a pursing of the month and a puckering of the nose, beastly to see, as one little fellow reminded them on a day when Matey was in more than common favour, topping a pitch of rapture, for clean bowling, first ball, middle stump on the kick, the best bat of the other eleven in a match; and, says this youngster, drawling, soon after the cheers and claps had subsided to business, "Aminta."
Besides that, I already have a good big block of stock in one of Sam Turner's enterprises." "Oh, yes," she said, puckering her brows. "Are you going to vote your pulp stock with his?" Mr. Stevens' eyes twinkled, but his tone was conservative gravity itself.
I want all that it means to have those people for intimate friends." "One must make one's own 'Land," Katrine answered. "And besides," with a curious, lovable puckering of her eyelids, "men mustn't dream things. Men must do." There was a silence. "Must they?" he asked, at length. "Why?" "Did it ever occur to you," she asked, abruptly, "that you might work ever, I mean when you were a boy?"
So to the General's question he replied, "Pickin' 'simmons." The persimmon, as you know, has the quality of puckering the mouth, as a certain kind of wild cherry used to mine when I was a boy. "What are you picking 'simmons for?" sharply rejoined the General.
He kept his word. He wrote it with his faculties and witnesses. We're broke, Charley thank God, we're flat broke!" "He did it? He did it? My old man did it?" "As sure as I'm standing here, Charley." He fell to blinking rapidly, his face puckering to comprehend. "I never thought it could happen. But I I guess it could happen. I think you got me doped, honey."
