But Sir Gui sat on, his thin lips upcurling to a smile, his black eyes unswerving: wherefore came Beltane and seized him in fierce hands and plucked him to his feet and so brought him to the window. "Ha!" he cried, "look now and tell me what ye see. Speak! speak for, God help me! now am I minded to kill thee here and now, unarmed though ye be, and cast thy carrion to the dogs speak!"
And then those good looks of yours caught the eye of that bookmaker's girl, and he gave you a job at writing sheet and you worked me in with you." So long ago it seemed, yet near and real, too, as I sat there, conscious of every sound and motion, even of the fantastic shapes taken by our upcurling smoke.
Pearl bowed without lifting her eyes, giving Hanson ample opportunity to note the incredible length, as it seemed to him, of the upcurling lashes upon her smooth cheeks. But just as he bent forward to speak to her, she half-turned from him and said something to one of the men beside her. The manager's quickness saved him.
"Say," she began, with apparent irrelevance, "what you been doing, anyway?" "Me!" cried Hanson. "You know. Been falling in love with you as hard as I could, and" his voice ringing with a passionate sincerity "that's God's truth, Pearl." She looked up at him, her wild eyes melting, her delicately cut lips upcurling in a smile; then her head drooped, her whole body expressed a soft yielding.
The great guns stand with smoking jaws. The message of death has gone forth. Over beyond the field and that narrow line of trees, what has happened? A great noise, the furious recoiling of the guns, an upcurling of smoke that is the firing of a battery. But over there, perhaps, one man, or twenty, or fifty men, lying still. So I required assurance that this battery was not being fired for me.
But he did not belong there; he was an alien, and she wished to go back to it for the first time alone. At the boathouse Davy launched the small sailboat and Nora took the tiller. She knew every inch of the harbour. As the sail filled before the wind and the boat sprang across the upcurling waves, her brief sullenness fell away from her.
I suppose I should have confided in some one before, but until a few hours ago I did not feel that I had the privilege." Sally's golden brown eyes with the heavy upcurling lashes, which gave to her face the expression of unusual softness, were now gazing upward into Miss Patricia's. The latter's eyes were gallant also and steadfast, nor did Sally find them so distrustful as she had anticipated.
I am sorry that I am unable to enlighten the novel-reading reader further concerning the 'prima donna; but that is a delicate subject under existing circumstances. So presenting, herewith, the bright and sulphurous end of the Lucifer Match under the nose of a discerning public, I will watch the upcurling and dilating of nostrils.
"One of the servant's guests, I presume?" he said, insultingly, his lividly lavender-like lip upcurling into a haughty sneer, which was maddening to a self-respecting worm like myself. I rose up from my bed, and picked up the poker to bat him over the head, but again I restrained myself. It will not do to quarrel, I thought.
She had taken off her loose white coat, and pushed back the hat that pressed upon her thick, shining hair. It clung in damp ringlets to the soft duskiness of forehead and temples, her cheeks glowed rosily under their warm olive, and her clouded smoke-blue eyes were averted; he could see only the thick, upcurling black lashes that fringed them so darkly.
