"And I suppose," he remarked, with an effort at solemnity, "that gentlemen don't pass ladies' names about between 'em I suppose that you wouldn't tell me who this lady of yours may be, even though I'd like to meet her?" Bennie's lips closed in a hard little line that quirked up at one end. He shook his head. "I'd ruther not," he said very slowly. "Say Where's th' Scout Club?"
"But, papa, won't you believe me," sobbed the girl, clinging to her mother as not daring to approach him to whom she appealed. "I only wrote my own name." "Your name, Eliza, but he read mine." "Yes, but the pen was bad, you see, and my name looks so like yours, when it's writ carelessly, and the 'a' is a little quirked, and I wrote it carelessly, papa. Please forgive me.
Brandeis stared straight ahead, and you could almost hear that indomitable will of hers working, crashing over obstacles, plowing through difficulties. Theodore watched her, breathless, as though expecting an immediate solution. His mother's eyes met his own intent ones, and at that her mobile mouth quirked in a sudden smile. "You look as if you expected pearls to pop out of my mouth, son.
All the doctors say that nine gaps out of ten are nerves." Miss Beemis hugged herself a bit flatter, looking out straight ahead into a parasol sale across the aisle. "Enough sleep ain't such a bad cure for gaps," she said. "I'll catch up in time, dearie; my foot's been asleep all day." "Huh!" sniffling so that her thin nose quirked sidewise.

A little girl with a beautiful, oval face, large mischievous gray eyes behind long black lashes, a mischievously quirked mouth to match the eyes, and black hair banged straight, both front and behind, in almost mediaeval fashion, twirked a pair of brown bare legs all about us.
Once that groom come down on the pommel, then over on the ground like a ball, all muck and blood." The half-breed paused, looking innocently before him. Gaston's mouth quirked. "A solid success, Brillon. Teach them all the tricks you can. At ten o'clock come to my room. The campaign begins then." Jacques ran a hand through his long black hair, and fingered his sash. Gaston understood.
Stretching out a hand, Ingolby gave a crisp laugh and said: "So there's been trouble since I've been gone, has there?" The corner of his mouth quirked, his eyelids drooped in the old quizzical way, and the crowd laughed in spite of themselves. What a spirit he had to take it all that way! "Got a little deeper in the mire, have you, boys?" he added.
Holly's got his head in the clouds, and he won't look at what's right under his feet." Again she looked reproof at Holly, and again Holly's lips quirked around the stem end of his pipe. "You just keep your eyes open, Miss Stevenson," she admonished, in a purring, comfortable voice. "I ain't afraid, myself, because I've got Holly and my cousin Todd, when he's at home.
He was looking down at her with that same tender, whimsical smile that quirked the corners of his mouth unevenly, and the expression in his eyes set Mary's heart to fluttering. She could not bear it, somehow! To give him up was even harder than she had expected, and suddenly her lids drooped defensively to hide the bright glitter that smarted in her eyes. Suddenly he broke the brief silence.
Dorothy was silent for a moment, then a smile quirked at one corner of her mouth and a dimple appeared. Seaton promptly kissed it, whereupon it deepened audaciously. "What are you thinking about mischief?" he asked. "Only of how Martin is going to be paid what we owe him," she answered teasingly. "Don't let the debt worry you any."
