Allie said nothing; but I saw a slight elevation of her little head and a pursing of her rosy lips, which told me that she did not altogether relish the idea that a servant-boy might possess superior knowledge to herself, although he might be nearly double her age. Allie's sense of class distinctions was strong.
She made the dentist believe that he had no right to withhold them, that he had promised to save them for her. She affected a great indignation, pursing her lips and putting her chin in the air as though wounded in some finer sense, changing so rapidly from one mood to another, filling the room with such shrill clamor, that McTeague was dazed and benumbed.
'I know nothing about your sword, Mr Cumbermede, she answered, shaking her head and pursing up her mouth. 'I don't ask you anything about it, Mrs Wilson; I only ask you where I slept the night I lost it.

They found that little or no damage had been done to the ice between them and the nearer portion of the berg, and, pursing an eastward course on their sledges, they were enabled to look around this lofty mass and see a body of open water in the vicinity of the more distant section almost covered with floating ice.
At length, remarking his abstraction, she said: "You are not listening to me." "I beg your pardon. My thoughts did wander. I was thinking of my mother. Something about you reminds me of her. I do not know what, unless it is that little mannerism you have of pursing up your lips when you hesitate or stop to think." "Tell me of her," said Betty, seeing his softened mood.
"Well, there hain't much profit in givin' apples away," said Simon Lundy, pursing up his thin lips. "Got some putty good golden russets left. How many do ye want?" "Give us all you can spare for a quarter," said Shep, who had been chosen treasurer of the club for the outing. Simon Lundy led the way to his barn, and there the boys picked out some russets and some greenings.
He put on his spectacles to read the letter, pursing up his lips and drawing down their corners. "Under the circumstances I will not decline to state my conviction tchah! what fine words the fellow puts!

"Forgive me for the act I am committing, which you may think is the act of a coward, and try to think as well of me as you possibly can. Your friend " "I don't know whether to make her sign her name or put her initials," said Jean, pursing her lips. "What is her name?" "Laura Martin. Just put the initials L.M." "They're mine also," smiled Lydia. "What else?"
His thin lips, like the dies of a machine, stamped out phrases that cut and stung; or again, pursing caressingly about the inchoate sound they articulated, the thin lips shaped soft and velvety things, mellow phrases of glow and glory, of haunting beauty, reverberant of the mystery and inscrutableness of life; and yet again the thin lips were like a bugle, from which rang the crash and tumult of cosmic strife, phrases that sounded clear as silver, that were luminous as starry spaces, that epitomized the final word of science and yet said something more the poet's word, the transcendental truth, elusive and without words which could express, and which none the less found expression in the subtle and all but ungraspable connotations of common words.
