The Elder had attended two funerals that week, and like a jaded actor came lamely to his work. His prayer was not entirely satisfactory to the older people, they had expected a "little more power." He was a thin-faced man, with weak brown eyes and a mouth like a gopher, that is, with very prominent upper teeth.
Then he helped him with each of the vestments, lifted the alb over his head and tenderly drew the bandaged hands through the sleeves; knit the girdle round him; gave him the stole to kiss and then placed it over his neck and crossed the ends beneath the girdle and adjusted the amice; then he placed the maniple on his left arm, but so tenderly! and lastly, lifted the great red chasuble and dropped it over his head and straightened it and there stood the priest as he had stood last Sunday, in crimson vestments again; but bowed and thin-faced now.
But as the former excitement flagged, old Peggy Sullivan produced a new one; for she solemnly avowed that she had seen a thin-faced man, with an ugly red mark all over the side of his cheek, looking out of the same window, just at sunset, before the young ladies returned from their evening walk.
With fifty men I'd hold this place Thin-faced man. They'll be here to-night, old De Wet says, and they're to come here and sjambok the Englishmen who've been talking too much. That's what comes of being loyal! Fat man. Loyal! With fifty men No, you wouldn't. What! Not keep the bridge with fifty men Brown-faced, grey-haired man.
He was a thin-faced cadaverous man, with a self-severe saintly look, one to whom religion was clearly a reality, though not so clearly a gladness, one whose opinions�vague half-monstrous embodiments of truth helped to give him a consciousness of the life which sprung from a source far deeper than his consciousness could reach.
No less a person than the prince himself, thin-faced, aquiline and haughty, sat at this table, looking about him like any common criminal to note whether his speech might be overheard. Next to him sat a hook-nosed Jew from Austria, Fraslin by name, one of many of his kind gathered so quickly within the last few weeks in Paris, even as the scent of carrion fetches ravens to the feast.
One slim young woman had just told the thin-faced school teacher on a vacation, with whom she had formed one of those evanescent traveling acquaintances, that she already knew the West, from instinct and from Manley's letters. She loved it, she said, because Manley loved it, and because it was to be her home, and because it was so big and so free.
Oh, and you too, she waved her hand with a motherly roughness towards the young men, 'What do you know about it, Signor Marchese? If there were no Guardia Nobile, you would not wear those fine uniforms. That is why you like the Pope. The Marchese Vitellucci a charming boy of two and twenty, tall, thin-faced and pensive, laughed and bowed.
The Indians had come. Indeed, they had come en masse. They packed the room he spoke in, big and little, short, chunky natives, and tall, thin-faced ones, and the overflow spilled into the kitchen beyond. The day was very hot, the roof low, the windows closed.
The Maplehill folk go mad, and madder than all Isa and her company of girl friends. "I got one bad start me! He pull me back!" panted La Belle to his backers who were holding him up. "Who pulled you back?" indignantly cried the thin-faced man, looking for blood. "That sacre startair!" "You ran a fine race, La Belle!" said Cameron, coming up. "Non! Peste!
