Do you really, father? cried his pet daughter, pursing up her red lips to be kissed. 'There! Take my love with it, said the Doctor, imprinting his upon them; 'and many happy returns of the the idea! of the day. The notion of wishing happy returns in such a farce as this, said the Doctor to himself, 'is good! Ha! ha! ha!
So weak were my vocal cords from lack of use that every few minutes I must either rest or whisper. And upon pursing my lips I found myself unable to whistle, notwithstanding the popular belief, drawn from vague memories of small-boyhood, that this art is instinctive. Those who all their lives have talked at will cannot possibly appreciate the enjoyment I found in using my regained power of speech.
There on the floor, sat the Marquise de Charente Tounerre, imitating every gesture of the old comtesse; while the others, including the princesses themselves, were pursing up their lips, and smothering their laughter behind handkerchiefs and fans. The drolleries of the marquise were too much for the queen.
That levelling of brows, and pursing of lips, always meant deep and intricate calculation on his sister's part, as he knew full well. "Yes," Judy said quietly. "I've got a plan that will do, I think." Then a sudden fire entered her manner. "Who is the General's father? Tell me that," she said, in a rapid, eager way; "and isn't it right and proper fathers should look after their sons?
However, beginning with the very next lesson, he lavished every mark of respect on the old lady, and treated her to all his choicest airs and graces, rounding his elbows, pursing his lips, strutting and swaggering. She would not relax a muscle, and sat there as silent and sulky as an owl.
He preached at least one sermon every Sunday morning, and whenever it was known that he would preach, St. Chad's was crowded and the offertory was all that could be desired. The bishop's chaplain no longer held a watching brief in regard in regard to those sermons. He did not think it worth while to do so much, George Holland's friends said, shaking their heads and pursing out their lips.
Then she suddenly stopped, dried her eyes, jumped up, and, pursing her lips and knitting her brows, ran to her friend, whom she found just returning to a state of consciousness. "What has happened?" asked Kabelaw, in a dazed manner, as she looked at the blood which flowed from her wound. Nunaga did not answer, but ran to the bear, which was quite dead, and began to drag it off Ujarak.
To make this more striking, she pulled out of her pocket, after a mock search, a huge paste ring, gazed on it with a ludicrous affectation of simple wonder, stuck it, like Cibber's diamond, on her little finger, and, pursing up her mouth, proceeded to whistle a quick movement, "Which, by some devilish cantrip sleight," played round the old beau's slow movement, without being at variance with it.
"Miss Nelly said, sir," he volunteered, "that she was to be called, unless she was asleep, when you came home to dinner. Shall I send up Fanny to call her?" "Not for worlds," said the General. "I'll go myself. She mustn't be disturbed, poor child, if she has a headache." He went upstairs softly, pursing out his lips as he went along in troubled thought.
"You ask me my warrant 'Tis the commission of his Majesty King James in whose army I have the honour to hold a command." He read on, nodding now and then, pursing his mouth at a word, once copying something on to his own tablets. Suddenly he raised his head. "When did his Grace dismiss you?" he asked. Now Ormonde had been the Duke last spoken of, but Mr. Lovel's precarious wits fell into the trap.
