She began to twirl round and round, to clap her palms, and called out: "Jennka, Jennka, come quicker, your little lover has come to you ... The little cadet ... And what a handsome little fellow!" But Jennka was not in the drawing room at this time; a stout head-conductor had already managed to get hold of her.
He is not a man of property, for the Vicar told Father that his nephew, Mr Parmenter's father, left nothing at all for his children. Yet Mr Anthony never seems to do anything but look through his eyeglass, and twirl his mustachios, and talk. I asked Amelia if she knew, for one of the Miss Parmenters, who is married now, lives not far from Bracewell Hall.
You will have to learn some time that you can't ride rough-shod among angels. Think it over, old fellow. You have had a good lesson. Profit by it." "You mean I'm to sit down and twirl my thumbs and let some other chap snap her up under my very nose? Well, I guess not!" "Not necessarily. If you take it manfully, she may discover a new interest in you. Don't breathe a word of love to her.
Captain von Heumann would twirl his mustaches into twin spires, shoot his white cuffs over his rings, and stare at me insolently through his rimless eyeglasses; we ought to have consoled each other, but we never exchanged a syllable. The captain had a murderous scar across one of his cheeks, a present from Heidelberg, and I used to think how he must long to have Raffles there to serve the same.
We must catch him red-handed, if possible!" "He's gone!" gasped Mrs. Damon as she came to the outer door, and watched Tom and Ned taking their places in the airship, while Koku prepared to twirl the propellers. "Gone!" echoed Tom, blankly. "Yes, he hung up the receiver." "See if you can't get him back," suggested the young inventor. "Ask Central to ring that number again.

The latter you wash after each mouthful, so that there is nothing so very dreadful about it after all.
"Good-mornin'!" he nodded, jigging away with his feet. "You'll lev' us come through, I suppose?" "Welcome," grunted Roger. "And, darn'ee, take care o' my cabbages!" added Malachi. "You ruined half a score of 'em last year with your May-games." "Cab " Here the inexorable tune forced His Worship to face about and twirl his partner. "Cabbages?" he resumed.
Are you aware of the things that can happen to you if you allow the red corpuscles of your blood to become devitalised? I had a friend . . ." "Stop! You're scaring me to death!" Uncle Chris gave his mustache a satisfied twirl. "Just what I meant to do, my dear. And, when I had scared you sufficiently you wouldn't wait for the story of my consumptive friend! Pity! It's one of my best!
Archibald was dressing for breakfast when his wife told him of Margery's engagement, and the announcement caused him to twirl around so suddenly that he came very near breaking a looking-glass with his hair-brush. He made a dash for his coat. "I will see him," he said, and his eyes sparkled in a way which indicated that they could discover a malefactor without the aid of spectacles.
"I am just on my way to join it now," the young man answered, looking up at the bishop from the chair near Edith on which he was again sitting, and giving the corners of his little light moustache a twirl on either side when he had spoken.
