If he is taken let him be at my disposal." The governor pursed his lips, then flashed a deep, inquiring glance at his companion. "The new mistress turned against the old, Iberville!" he said. "Gering is her husband, eh? Well, I will trust you: it shall be as you wish a matter for us two alone."
They tore off to the kitchen and arrived panting. Mrs. Brown was sitting in calm state on the kitchen verandah, and greeted them with a wide, expansive smile. Norah explained their need. Mrs. Brown pursed up her lips. "I haven't anythink fancy, my dear," she said slowly. "Only plum cake and scones, and there's a nice cold tongue, and an apple pie. I'd like you to have tarts, but the fire's out.
He led her to the tepee, and lighted a candle for her, and at the last, with the sweet demand of a child in the manner of her doing it, she pursed up her lips to be kissed good-night. And when he had tied the tent-flap behind her, he took his rifle and sat down with it across his knees in the deep black shadow of a spruce, and waited and listened for the coming of Donald MacDonald.
Anxiety, however, made her hand unsteady, for, the next moment, the arrow was quivering in the stem of the tree at least three inches below the bird. A look of deep disappointment was mingled with an expression of determination as she pursed her little mouth and fitted the second arrow to the string.
And the prudent antique pursed up her mouth in a language that said everything. "What! what does she say?" demanded a dozen voices. "Well! I won't tell you that.

There was just one on my bush, and I saved it for you." "Shall I put my pearl beads on?" asked Anne. "Matthew brought me a string from town last week, and I know he'd like to see them on me." Diana pursed up her lips, put her black head on one side critically, and finally pronounced in favor of the beads, which were thereupon tied around Anne's slim milk-white throat.
Ladybug pursed up her lips and looked very severe. And then she declared that she didn't see how people could say Betsy was even good-looking, if they had ever noticed her tongue. "Honestly, her tongue's as long as she is!" Mrs. Ladybug gossiped.

Junior grinned his widest grin and padded the air unceasingly with his pudgy hands. Honey-Bunch slept placidly in Julia's arms. Julia advanced a little from her group and dropped a single monosyllable. "Well?" she said in an inflexible, questioning voice.
"I know we are watched," he said, "the servants are questioned each time they set foot outside." Mr. Morris pursed his lips. "How long shall you be here, sir?" he asked. "Until we are turned out," said Chris. It was true, as he had said, that the house was watched.
