"I do not know if I am as well as I should be," said I, looking at Alan; "but the little money we have has a long way to carry us." Alan took his under-lip into his mouth, and looked upon the ground. "David," says he at last, "I've lost it; there's the naked truth." "My money too?" said I. "Your money too," says Alan, with a groan. "Ye shouldnae have given it me.
"My dear, why don't you take your blocks up-stairs?" "I want to be where oo are," said with a piteous under-lip, was generally a most convincing answer. Then the small people could not be disabused of the idea that certain chief treasures of their own would be safer under papa's writing-table or mamma's sofa than in the safest closet of their own domains.
I'm hanged if the brute didn't look more vulgar and wretched than ever when he was brought out, and I began to feel that perhaps I was more parts of a fool than I thought I was. Biddy stood looking at him there with his under-lip stuck out. "I think you've lost your money," he said.
This is a great feat in the Prussian military annals; for which, sad as the news was, Wedell got the name of Leonidas attached to him by Friedrich himself. Leonidas Wedell has an admirable silence, too; and Ziethen's lazily hanging under-lip is in its old attitude again, now that the spasm is over. "WAS THUTS? They are across, without a doubt. We would have helped it, and could not. Steady!"
She beheld her face at times, and shivered. The face was so strange with its dark thick eyebrows, and peculiarly straight-gazing brown eyes; the level long red under-lip and curved upper; and the chin and nose, so unlike Dahlia's, whose nose was, after a little dip from the forehead, one soft line to its extremity, and whose chin seemed shaped to a cup. Rhoda's outlines were harder.

The Jew stared at it with bulging eyes and trembling under-lip, and his hands went out towards it with a gesture which seemed like worship.
His preparation consists in attending the females and young ones, by whom he is usually accompanied, to a little distance. He, however, soon returns, with his crest erect and projecting forward, his nostrils dilated, and his under-lip thrown down; at the same time uttering his characteristic yell, designed, it would seem, to terrify his antagonist.
But be fair to me; don't take me until I am as clean and straight and untainted as the girl I was as I am becoming as I will be surely, surely my darling!"

"Don't ask me to give you what is less perfect than I can make it.
Gnawing with unconscious savagery at his under-lip he stared into vacancy, searching, searching, searching for the precise words to express his thought. But they eluded him. It was not so simple to be precise, so clear that even a fool like Beaufoy could not make a mistake, and yet be so cautious that the true purpose, the inner meaning of the order, would not betray him.
This done, he would invoke with confidence upon their able race the blessing of Almighty God. In tones so mellow did he utter himself, that for many minutes stillness reigned, every face pale.
