His face was lean, with a squarish jaw, and the very definitely dark brows and lashes contrasted oddly with his English-fair hair and blue-grey eyes. In one eye he wore a horn-rimmed monocle from which depended a narrow black ribbon. "I can't thank you enough for coming to my rescue," said Nan, after her quick scrutiny. "It was so frightfully important that I should catch this train." "Was it?"
"It will be the one decent thing I've ever done in my life." The next morning at breakfast only one letter lay beside Nan's plate. As she recognised Maryon Rooke's small, squarish handwriting, with its curious contrasts of heavy downstrokes and very light terminals, the colour deepened in her cheeks.
He would feel this way even though he might be very poor and might even have to leave for a little while, like the shepherds. To him, the important things in life are his family, his friends, his church and his country. His country is a large, squarish, mountainous land at the southwesternmost tip of Europe. To the north, over the tall wall of the Pyrenees Mountains, is France.
In the dusk of her room, against the shadowy background of the blind-drawn windows, she could visualise each line of his face the level brows and the steady, grey-blue eyes under them eyes that missed so little and understood so much; the sensitive mouth with those rather tired lines cleft each side of it that deepened when he smiled; the lean cheek-bones and squarish chin.
Rough, squarish face, curly auburn wig, bushy grey eyebrows and moustache, and grizzly stubble eyes that reminded one of Dampier the actor. He was a squatter of the old order new chum, swagman, drover, shearer, super, pioneer, cocky, squatter, and finally bank victim. He had been through it all, and knew all about it.
Ahead of him the funnel reached its narrowest point, a squarish hole still broad enough for five men to pass abreast, that opened into a deepening expanse. Coming toward the rising, hard-rock lip of it, he went down on his belly, crawled forward, and looked over into the heart of the thing he feared.
Some Minhagim are more firmly rooted than actual laws, and this custom is one of them. In one of his cartoons, Picard has an illustration which is apparently that of a squarish Matzah; this may, however, be only a case of defective drawing.
'Isn't it rather dangerous, the way you drive? she asked him. 'No, it isn't dangerous, he said. And then, after a pause: 'Don't you like the yellow ring at all? It was a squarish topaz set in a frame of steel, or some other similar mineral, finely wrought. 'Yes, she said, 'I do like it. But why did you buy these rings? 'I wanted them. They are second-hand. 'You bought them for yourself?
Stone, the Van Allen has been in this house more times than you'd think for. Yes, sir, she has." "How do you know?" "Lots o' ways. Frinst' on Sat'day, I noticed a clean squarish place in the dust on a table in the lady's bedroom, an' it's where a book was. That book disappeared durin' Friday night.
To me it was a little squarish spot on the lower edge of the sky, and I have always thought that I could see well enough. But these sailors have eyes like spy-glasses. Now, then, we were all alive, and began to get ready to put up a signal. Fortunately, the pole was on the raft, I believe the captain had it fastened on, thinking we might want it, and now all we had to do was to make a flag.
