I had been in a sort of dream, in which the form of Mary Deane was the chief figure, but there was another less pleasing shape, which came and went in my visions in a purposeless kind of way, one which I had seen that day lounging about the landing-stage, where he passed me first with a scowl and then with a muttered oath. Now, I had first made his acquaintance in this wise.
But who was all this on Louise?" "She insists I'm her guesh," says Ernie. "That made it very nice, then, didn't it?" says I. "But none of this accounts for the dent in your hat and the other rough-house signs. Somebody must have got real messy with you at some stage in the game. Remember anything about that?" "Oh!" says Ernie, stiffenin' up and tryin' to scowl. "Most most disagreeable persons.
She followed with her eyes as the young people separated in the hall, some climbing stairs, some disappearing down side halls, some entering adjoining doors. She saw the girl overtake the brown-eyed boy and speak to him. He glanced back at Elnora with a scowl on his face. Then she stood alone in the hall. Presently a door opened and a young woman came out and entered another room.
Burnt soup, fish boiled to rags, underdone vegetables, heavy pastry, must be endured with smiling equanimity. No scowl must greet the crash that announces the fall of a tray of the finest glass, no word of remonstrance greet the deluge of a plate of soup over the tablecloth.
There was nothing particularly sinister about his reddish-bearded face, but his eyes were full of fears and suspicions, and the ordinary person would have shrunk from his contact. His conductor having locked the door, said "This is Mr. Flitch, who " "Damn ye!" muttered the man with a start and a scowl. "Or, rather, Mr. Dunning, who is going to open the box for us.
Nor was that book the last of its kind he bought or sat reading till late at night, with his pipe held in the crook of his long fingers and his forehead drawn down into a scowl.

So like was the face to that of our little friend that I looked round at him to make sure that he was indeed with us. Then I recalled to mind that he had mentioned to us that his brother and he were twins.
I awoke to find the waggon at a standstill and Master Trueman watching me with a scowl the while his plump fingers toyed lovingly with his whip-stock; but as I roused, this hand crept up to finger his several chins. "Lamberhurst!" says Trueman again; whereon, having yawned and stretched myself, I clambered down into the road. "Well?" I questioned, seeing how he watched me, triple chin in hand.
Her heart was filled with anger and a scowl was on her face. How she hated Helen Loraine! It was not the first time Helen had criticised her. "And Hester Alden will be another one just like Helen too goody-good to live," was her thought. Even after Berenice was being disqualified, Hester did not understand fully all that had taken place.
His expression was not one to give us the hope of an amicable settlement, in fact, he had the scowl of a thundercloud. He was talking quite angrily, and seemed not to heed those around him. "Why the devil should I see the man, Clark?" he was saying. The Colonel did not answer until they had stopped in front of us.
