I am not talking about the ship, ma'am. But the plan in general is a masterpiece." "But I do not see," Plinny confessed, with a small puckering of the brows, "that I have suggested anything that can be called a plan." "Why, ma'am, you have been talking heavenliest common sense, and once you've started us upon common sense there's no such thing as a difficulty.
There waiting for them, in the middle of the east street, the sun gleaming upon his lemon-colored beard, and puckering his single eye, stood Chandos himself, his legs apart, his hands behind his back, and a welcoming smile upon his quaint high-nosed face. Behind him a crowd of little boys were gazing with reverent eyes at the famous soldier. "Welcome, Nigel!" said he, "and you also, good archer!
Ronald gave back his look in frowning perplexity. "You wrote them? I don't understand. His letters are all addressed to my mother." "Yes. And he thought he was corresponding with her." "But my mother what did she think?" Mr. Grew hesitated, puckering his thick lids. "Well, I guess she kinder thought it was a joke. Your mother didn't think about things much."
"Isn't it funny nobody seems to like her?" murmured Ellen, tossing her head. "I shouldn't be surprised if they wouldn't let her bring the water in, for all she says she'll pay for everything except putting it in the houses." Fanny gazed at the white heart in the middle of the red square. "It's awfully hard to sew these hearts on without puckering," she said.
It is easy to prevent the puckering of work when it is carried out in the frame; there is, however, no necessity for it to occur in hand work.

She carried the photograph to the light of the candles on the mantelpiece, and gazed at it attentively, puckering her brows.
Registrator Heerbrand came, as he had promised, after dinner; and coffee being over, and the dusk come on, the Registrator, his face puckering up to a smile and gaily rubbing his hands, signified that he had something about him which, if mingled and reduced to form, as it were paged and titled, by Veronica's fair hands, might be pleasant to them all, on this October evening.
It is no doubt aquiline, after the fashion of an eagle-owl, the mouth and chin broad and the eyes very far apart, but there is a minute puckering of the brows which combines with that queer streak of brown discoloration that runs across his cheek and into the white of his eyes, to give something faintly plaintive and pitiful to his expression, an effect enhanced by the dark softness of his eyes.
This blanket of cloud, like a curtain with puckering strings to bring it together in the southeast, drew fast across the sky very, very fast, considering that there was not a breath of wind stirring.
Easter was drawing near, and Ruth Clinton took upon herself the task of arranging special services for the children. "It would be just like him to cut Easter out of the calendar altogether," said she. "He cannot possibly have any objection to an Easter service," protested Ruth, her brow puckering. "There's no telling what he will object to," said Mrs. Spofford.
