"I wish I could say, but I fear that's impossible. Different people are affected by different cures. You must go on experimenting until you find one that will suit your case; meanwhile there are certain definite instructions which you would do well to observe. In what part of London do you live?" He pursed-up his lips at the reply. "Clay! Heavy clay. The worst thing you could have.
He sucked the air through his pursed-up lips, producing a little squeaking sound, and the horses started forward. Presently he turned to John: "Did you ever think of gettin' married?" he asked. "Well," said our friend with a little hesitation, "I don't remember that I ever did, very definitely." "Somebody 't you knew 'fore you come up here?" said David, jumping at a conclusion.
"And there is where the Kid sits when she is a bad girl and runs away." She peeped up in his face almost slyly. "Then they call her: 'You Kid, come here! Dirty little slut, take the broom and sweep out the bar! Idle little devil, fetch water for the kitchen!" Her smile was peaked and elfish. She laid a cunning finger beside her pursed-up lips.
Siegmund felt slightly amused to see her stout little calves planted so firmly close together. She carefully sponged her cheeks, her pursed-up mouth, and her neck, soaping her hair, but not her ears.

She, too, had beautiful dark blue eyes.
"Even if the autopsy shows nothing, it doesn't prove that it was a natural death. Look!" On the back of the hand was a tiny, red, swollen mark.

He pursed-up his lips and bent his brows with the same air of business-like deliberation that he might have assumed while weighing the relative merits of the first and second debenture bonds of some doubtful railway company. "You ask me a trying question, Hawkehurst," he said at last.

I shall have been to sea two years come next month," was the reply. "Two years, eh! Why, you are a perfect veteran, a regular old sea-dog, Francisco," continued Courtenay as he exhaled a wreath of pale-blue smoke from his pursed-up lips and watched it go curling in fantastic wreaths up through the open sky-light. "And have you been all that time in the Pinta?" "Yes, senor, all that time.
I'll tell 'im I arranged for you to 'ave ten days to a fortnight to think it over." "Thinking won't make money," said Enid in a low voice. "Such a beautiful young lady as yourself, Modam, can't find it difficult to put 'er 'and on five hundred pounds," murmured Mrs. Piper, and as she said the words there came a leering smile over her small, pursed-up mouth.
