"They change the president of the Consolidated Companies from an absentee employer into an ubiquitous superintendent." Because of Mr. Gorham's desire for retirement, the butler endeavored to explain the impossibility of an interview to a tall, smooth-faced young man who presented his card one afternoon.
Long black hair, and a huge beard covered the man's head and face, but clean gray eyes shone from out of the tangle, and a broad grin welcomed them. "Oh, you white men!" shouted the mucker. "You certainly do look good to me." Six months later a big, smooth-faced giant in ill-fitting sea togs strolled up Sixth Avenue.
Yes, faiks! to bring home that mane, useless creature, that hasn't a penny to the good! A purty farmer's wife she'll make, and purtily she'll fill my poor mother's shoes, God be good to her! A poor, unsignified, smooth-faced thing, that never did a dacent day's work out of doors, barring to shake up a cock of hay, or pull the growing of a peck of flax!
She treated with scorn a thousand gentlemen, men of valour and wisdom, and took up with a smooth-faced sprig of a page, without fortune or fame, except such reputation for gratitude as the affection he bore his friend got for him.
He called out, and his mate came down the narrow alleyway from the after-cabin. He was a tall, lean, smooth-faced man, with moist black hair that was partly sleek and shining, partly bristling out in straggling wisps. His face was dewy, and his eyes perpetually blinking. Cospatric asked him to play something.
"Good good-morning, doctor," he said, and as he spoke, I felt as if I must laugh, for his voice was a regular high-pitched squeak, and it sounded so queer coming from a big, stoutish, smooth-faced man of six feet high. Walters looked at me with a grin. "Oh, here's a Tommy soft," he whispered. "Don't," I said with my eyes, as I screwed up my face quite firmly.
When Rapkin comes in I'm sure he'd go round with pleasure, and see about it, if required." "I'll go round myself," said Horace. "It's all right, Mrs. Rapkin, quite a natural mistake on your part, but but I happen to want the bottle again. You needn't stay." "O thou smooth-faced and double-tongued one!" said the Jinnee, after she had gone, as he reappeared to view.
He was a tall, well-built man, forty years of age, smooth-faced, with a clerical cast of countenance, easy and graceful in manner, and of pleasant address. After a few words relating to a certain matter of business, the clerk said to his employer, "This man has been waiting some time to see you, Mr. Sharpman." The lawyer advanced to Craft, and shook hands with him in a very friendly way.
With Philip of France was Conrad of Montferrat, a large, pale, ruminating Italian, full of bluster and thick blood. The French King was a youth, just the age of Jehane, of the thin, sharp, black-and-white mould into which had run the dregs of Capet. He was smooth-faced like a girl, and had no need to shave; his lips were very thin, set crooked in his face.
"O Jesu!" from the half-naked wretches lying in two rows on the bare, muddy ground, came as near making an inferno as anything one is ever likely to see. In another tent, a short distance away, I found a smooth-faced American soldier about thirty years of age, who had been shot in the head, and also wounded by a fragment of a shell in the body.
