You, sir," to Rolfe, "give the word." Master Pory rose from his knees, unruffled and unabashed, and still with a curiously absent expression upon his fat face and with his ears cocked in the direction of the church.

He passed them and walked behind a second less distinguished couple, who manifested a mutual dislike as matter-of-fact and free from nonsense as the unruffled satisfaction of the first; this dislike was just as healthy, and produced in Shelton about the same sensation. It was like knocking at a never-opened door, looking at a circle couple after couple all the same.
Unger sat next to him, his instrument between his knees, his stolid, shiny face unruffled by the glorious harmonies of Beethoven. Then her glance rested on Oliver.

There was something in the eyes and face of the Shawanoe which showed a consciousness that they were near the end: within the following few hours it would come. Deerfoot pointed to a ridge a short distance to the south.
Thus very early he learnt to know his name, and would come when he was called, and what was stranger still, he learnt the names of his brothers and sisters before they came to do so themselves. Besides all this he was something of a young philosopher, for though his brother Kasper tyrannized over him he put up with it all with an unruffled temper.
Alick reddened, and glared down at Binks's unruffled countenance; but he forbore to retort, recognising that the old man's powers of repartee were superior to his own. 'Oh, come on, please do! persuasively said Geoff, thrilling to hear the sequel of Binks's story.
