I was in my room at the Hotel Bonne Femme in Turin, having a wash after a dusty run with the "forty," when the waiter announced Mr. Bianchi, and the sharp-featured, black-haired little man, recently promoted from Florence to watch the Anarchists in Milan. "I am very glad, Signor Ewart, that I have been able to catch you here; you are such a bird of passage, you know," he said in Italian.
And, on the arrival of Charles, irreproachably correct in dress and demeanour, his clean-shaven, sharp-featured, rakish countenance controlled to praiseworthy nullity of expression, she said: "The weather is abominable." The man-servant set down the tray on a little table before her, turned out the corners of the napkin, deftly arranged the tea-things. "It is a little dull, my lady."
His wife, a gray-haired, sharp-featured woman, appeared to me much younger than he. I explained my errand. "For mercy sake," the woman said, "here you are starting a post office and I thought you was one of them high-falutin' city homesteaders a rec-connoiterin' around. Listen to that, Pa, a post office in four miles of us." The woman put out a clean cup and plate. "Set up," she said.
Grandison had scarcely left the hotel when a long-haired, sharp-featured man came out behind him, followed him, soon overtook him, and kept along beside him until they turned the next corner. Dick's hopes were roused by this spectacle, but sank correspondingly when Grandison returned to the hotel.
The dagger tinkled down upon the deck. Seamen and archers ran forward, to find Nigel half senseless upon his face. They drew him off, and a few deft blows struck off the helmet of his enemy. A head, sharp-featured, freckled and foxy-red, disclosed itself beneath it. Nigel raised himself on his elbow for an instant. "You are the Red Ferret?" said he.
Then Winter hurried away, and, repressing the inclination to hail a taxi, walked up Whitehall and crossed Trafalgar Square en route to the Shaftesbury Avenue address supplied by the Assistant Commissioner. He found a sharp-featured youth in charge of the telephone, which was lodged in an estate agent's office. The boy grinned when the Superintendent explained his errand.
Cissie no longer knew her sister's eyes. Letty's hand had become thin and unfamiliar and a little wrinkled; she was sharp-featured and thin-lipped; her acts, which had once been predictable, were incomprehensible, and Cissie was thrown back upon speculations. In their schooldays Letty had had a streak of intense sensibility; she had been easily moved to tears.
Margaret's spare angular figure and sharp-featured face did not look encouraging; but surely never before was seen such a dazzling white apron, such a stiffly starched collar, such spotless cuffs. Margaret's cleanliness had in it, it was true, an aggressive quality, but Ted admired it nevertheless. The kitchen and all its appurtenances bore witness to the same scrupulous nicety.
Dickerson had built the fire now and was stirring about the porch when Hiram arrived at the step, filling her kettle at the pump. "Mornin', Mr. Strong," she said, in her startled way, eyeing Hiram askance. She was a lean, sharp-featured woman, with a hopeless droop to her shoulders. "Good-morning, Mrs. Dickerson," said Hiram, gravely. "How many young turkeys have you this year?"
'I suppose, he added, 'we have nothing more to do than order his being sent to Greenock for examination and trial? 'That is all we need do. answered the Sheriff. Just then a loud voice was heard in the hall demanding admission, a sound as if the door-keeper was pulled aside, and a sharp-featured man came in. 'What business have you to enter here? demanded the Sheriff. 'I will soon show you.
