He had a commonplace, rough face, with a turn-up nose, high cheek bones, no especial complexion, sandy-coloured whiskers, and bright laughing eyes, not at all an Adonis such as her imagination had painted. But if he had only made love at first as he had attempted to do it now, she thought that she would have submitted herself to be cut in pieces for him.

"When word came to Mr. Carthew's ears the turn-up was 'orrible," continued Mr. Higgs. "I remember it as if it was yesterday. The bell was rung after her la'ship was gone, which I answered it myself, supposing it were the coffee. There was Mr. Carthew on his feet.

Nicholas could not help thinking that, for the first week, it would be an uncommon convenience to have a turn-up bedstead in the pit, but he merely remarked that he had not turned his thoughts that way. 'Come home with me then, said Mr Crummles, 'and my boys shall go with you after dinner, and show you the most likely place.

Before them stood the freight-car, and along the track beyond an occasional train tore down the road, which so far excited their mutual sympathy that they rose and shouted as one man. At the open door of the freight-car stood the unsuspecting turkey, and looked meditatively out on the landscape and at the two figures on the wash-tub. One had bow-legs, a turn-up nose, and a huge straw hat.

"But if a man come to you, Sir, and said he was going to report you, Sir, for 'aving a bit of a turn-up with a friend, Sir, an' wanted to get money out o' you, Sir-" The Orderly-room exploded in a roar of laughter. "Well?" said the Colonel. "That was what that measly jarnwar there did, Sir, and 'e'd 'a' done it, Sir, if we 'adn't prevented 'im. We didn't 'it 'im much, Sir.

"To Barny Gorrnly's wake; there 'ill be lots of fun there, too," she replied. "But come you can come wid me as far as the turn-up to the house; for I won't go in, nor go home neither, till afther the berril, tomorrow." "Do you know," said he, rather gravely, "the Grey Stone that's at the mouth of the Black Glen?" "I ought," said she; "sure that's where the carman was found murdhered."

Having reached the second story of the house, the cardinal knocked at a little gray door. Nobody answering, he opened it, and, like a man to whom the locality was well known, passed through a sort of antechamber, and entered a room in which was a turn-up bed. On a black wood table were many phials, which had contained different medicines.

People say of mother," he went on, "that when she's put the children to bed she has to count them to make sure they're all there; but that's not true, because she can't count farther than ten." Here a baby in the alcove began to cry, and the mother took it up and seated herself on the edge of the turn-up bedstead to nurse it.

He has small, insignificant features, a turn-up nose, and an ugly scowl that appears whenever he is out of humor." "And yet your father likes him?" "I don't think he does, though Peter, by his mother's orders, pays all sorts of small attentions bringing him his slippers, running on errands, and so on, not because he likes it, but because he wants to supplant me, as he has succeeded in doing."

They will know we should go in somewhere, and that there would be no way of getting out again. People must be caught everywhere, just as it happens, to-night." "It's just the jolliest turn-up!" cried Stephen, who had been in an ecstasy all the time. "Let's make molasses-candy, and sit up all night!" Between eight and nine we had some tea.
