Do you know a youngish lookin' man, smooth-shaven, neat dresser, gray eyes, about forty-five, got something to do with Wall Street, wears one of them little twisted-up red and white society buttons in his buttonhole, has a trick of holding his chin between his fingers so when he's thinkin'? Because he started it. He's the nigger in your woodpile. He came here a week before you ever saw Mrs.
The gopher's wise, old-fashioned looking head is quite a contrast to that of the lizard, with its eager, inquisitive expression. There is always a little twisted-up head and bright eye, or a sharp little tail, appearing and disappearing, wherever we look. They spend their whole time in coming and going. Their purpose seems to be accomplished, if they succeed in seeing us, and getting safely away.

A nervous tug-of-war was taking place between her right and left hand, with a twisted-up pair of ecru gloves for the cable. "You know me," he began again in his deliberate and abdominal bass. "And I know you. I 've got 'o get this man Binhart. I 've got 'o! He 's been out for seven months, now, and they 're going to put it up to me, to me, personally. Copeland tried to get him without me.
Pasqualino made a grimace, as he nearly always did when he heard a rich Signore speak of working. "And you? You have been spending money as usual. All your clothes are new." Pasqualino smiled, showing rows of splendid teeth under his little twisted-up mustache. "Si, Signore, all! And I have also new underclothing." "Per Bacco!" "Ecco, Signore!"

So Arthur groped about and discovered a twisted-up wedge of paper, which, by its battered look and peculiar shape, had evidently been stuck at some time under the door to keep it from closing-to.
"He's mewing dreadfully, and I can't find him." "He's worse than a baby," said Eunice, unwinding herself from the comfortable, twisted-up position in the steamer chair, which she loved.
