I said to Phares to-day that I'm almost glad it's here, for it was awful to know it's coming." "But it's awful," he shuddered. "Come in to the light and let me see you but oh, you can't see me!" "Yes I can." She reached a hand to his face. "This is the way I see you now. The same mouth and chin, the same mole on your left cheek that's good luck, Davie the same nose with its little turn-up."
A white cotton nightcap, coming well over the ears, and tied under the throat with tape to match, surmounted by a high bonnet rouge like an extinguisher, the entire headdress being further secured by a broad black ribbon, would make Plato himself look ridiculous; and a sleepy old face, with a small turn-up nose, and a rough stubbly chin of unshaven gray, does not add to the beauty or the dignity of such a recumbent subject.
Granger had a head as red as a shumac bush; and when she carried the candle close to the beds to take another tally, there was thirteen children, sure enough, but if there wa'n't a red-headed Granger right in amongst our boys in the turn-up bedstead!
Her face was round, with a good strong brick-dust sort of complexion, a turn-up nose, eyes that were grey in one light and green in another, and a middling-sized mouth, with a double chin below. Mr. Jorrocks used to say that she was "warranted" to him as twelve years younger than himself, but many people supposed the difference of age between them was not so great.
From the gray void of fog a deep voice floated back: "Diablo luck. Never got nothin' and the Petrel was smashed to hell." Dickie Lang was nonplussed. Her best bet was thrown into the discard. Her pride and independence had been at stake. For her most valued possessions, she had risked her all, and "stood pat" on the turn-up at the devil-island. Her cards were all on the table. Now she had lost.
Now and then some independent young lady, who had reasons of her own for preferring rosy complexions, turn-up noses, and "runaway" chins, might quarrel with the Major's fine Roman profile and jet-black moustache and hair; but there was no denying it he was, even at forty, a remarkably handsome man; one of the old school of Chesterfield perfection, which is fast dying out.
He took the word from Bob and made no attempt to alter or to amplify it. Bob was mounting now; the hour was late for him to be abroad and work waited him in the morning. "Good-night, Tristram," he said, as he settled in his saddle. "Good-night. And, Bob, if by any chance it doesn't come off with me, you have that turn-up with the Major!"
At the farther end of the room, barely visible through the smoke, was the figure of a man in a torn and dirty dressing gown, and an enormous black felt hat with a huge turn-up brim, of the kind supposed to be worn by the bandits of the Pyrenees.
Tynn might well heave her hands and eyes in dismay. On the chairs, on the tables, on the drawers, on the floor, on every conceivable place and space they lay; a goodly mass of vanity, just unpacked from their cases. Flitting about amidst them was a damsel of coquettish appearance, with a fair skin, light hair, and her nose a turn-up.
The drawing might have served almost equally well for an ass, or even for a cow, but Sally watched it with intense interest. "You see, dear," said the artist, commenting as the work proceeded, "this is his head, with a turn-up there like that, for his nose. A little too bluff, no doubt, but no matter.
