Lawford could not face the taunting glances of Marian and Prue.
Miss Tabitha's nose was red and rasped with the cold; her thin lips were blue, and her bony hands were numb; but she set copies in writing-books with stern patience.

I could not hear it when the vessel pitched, but when she took a long roll to starboard it rattled a second and then rasped along the board. Locating the sound in the dark, I groped along the planks to find the loose object, and my fingers came upon a small metal rod. I seized it and lifted it from a hook, and with the tips of my fingers found it to be a key!

Stick with me and I'll make your future. I'll let you lick Danny next time. But here's where you lay down." Rivera showed with his eyes that he heard, but he made neither sign of assent nor dissent. "Why don't you speak?"
Some people were even amused at seeing the tiny animal jump from Dodo's lap on to the table, and pick out the best grapes in an old-fashioned centre-piece. On the last fatal day, however, Lady Dauntrey's nerves had been rasped by the loss of her fifth cook.
Lidgerwood flung the paper-knife aside and whirled his chair to face the new complaint. "What is the matter now, Jack?" he snapped. "Oh, nothing much when you're used to it; only about a thousand dollars' worth of dimension timber gone glimmering. That's all." "Tell it out," rasped the superintendent.
