The warmth had kept on in his heart all day. That was the day before he found out the Important Thing. Out in the front hall after supper he came upon a beautiful, tantalizing smell that he failed for some time to locate. He went about with his little nose up-tilted, in a persistent search. It was such a beautiful smell! not powerful and oversweet, but faint and wonderful.
He resuscitated them all, with as much sentiment, romance, passion, drama, as each individual case required, while Bertie Patterson sat in the fading light behind the great three-cornered screen of the up-tilted cover and clasped her hands and brought her generous idealizing faculty into its fullest play. Then he sang a few German lieder of a more contemporaneous cast.
In fact I should suggest you for the presidency " "I suppose you think all sorts of things because I gushed over that dog." "Of course I do." "Well you need not," she rejoined, delicate nose up-tilted. "I never kissed a baby in all my life and never mean to. Which is probably more than you can say." "Yes, its more than I can say. "That admission elects you president," she concluded.
Only she says she can't bear to see them, that she won't look at them. And and she shan't come here she shan't, Susan, to look at me, and " But Susan was not listening now. With chin up-tilted and a new fire in her eyes, she had turned toward the kitchen door. Two days later, on her way to the store, Susan spied Dorothy Parkman across the street.
It was of the Colt-Coburn-Langley pattern, with double up-tilted wings and the screw ahead, and the men were in a boat-like body netted over. From this very light long body, magazine guns projected on either side. One thing that was strikingly odd and wonderful in that moment of revelation was that the left upper wing was burning downward with a reddish, smoky flame.
He found that he was able to visualize her, as he might visualize something remembered, or conceived of in imagination a lovely young girl, slender and clothed in something loose and filmy, with flowers in her honey-colored hair, and clear blue eyes, a pert, cheerful face, a wide, smiling mouth and an impudently up-tilted nose.

He paused, picked up the flask, and again applied himself to its contents, his eyes peering over the up-tilted vessel at Tom, who continued to pace up and down the length of the office.
As the airship began to respond to the power of her propellers, and the up-tilted rudder, Tom heard, from somewhere below him, a series of shrill blasts on a whistle. "What's that?" he cried. "Sounds like a boat below us," answered Mr. Whitford. "I guess it is," agreed the young inventor. "There she goes again."

Carmena had not exaggerated. Elsie was sweet as honey and cuddlier than a kitten. He felt tempted to put a finger under her dainty up-tilted chin.
She rubbed it out of her eyes impatiently, and happened to notice old Peggy holding her own handful high, as if it were an oblation, and turning her queer, up-tilted head this way and that, to look at the beans sharply, as if she were first cousin to a hen.
