"Kindly take back the level and get out the chain." Ashton started off without replying. Blake looked at the young man's back with a regretful, half-puzzled expression. But he quickly returned to the business in hand. He laid the level rod on a rock and inclined it at the same steep pitch as the uptilt of the gorge bottom.
Later, I was assigned a sleeping space on the lower deck, barely wide enough to lie in, and was permitted to sit among the others, under the uptilt of the swinging gangway, listening to their boisterousness, and rough play, or watching the dusk of evening descend over the deserted waters, as the laboring steamer battled against the current.
You love him well, do you not, Monsieur John?" I said I could never make her, or any woman, fully understand the bond there was between us. "Truly?" There was the merest flavor of playful sarcasm in the uptilt of the word, but it was gone when she went on. "Being so good a friend to Dick, then, you can advise me the better. Tell me, if you please, must I marry him when "
He stopped abruptly, as though willing to leave the third desideratum in the air, but she would not let him. "Go on," she said. "Last of all?" "Last of all, the love of a true woman."

Humdrum it was, in all conscience.
The pressure of her fingers accented the slight uptilt of her brows to elfishness, and her look was introspective. She might, instead of wondering on the outside, have been the very center of the mystery itself, toying with unthinkable possibilities of revelation. She looked far over the head of Clara Britton's annoyance that there should be no clue.
But Ford, having discovered a thing to do, did it painstakingly and in solemn silence. There was an unoccupied table for two in the dining-car; he seated her, gave her his purse, called a waiter, and would have betaken himself forthwith to another table if she had not detained him. "No," she said decisively, with a charming little uptilt of the adorable chin.
"I seem to owe a good deal to my former stenographer," he said, "my wife, my partner; next, perhaps it will be my election." Penny, pacing the drawing-room with pantheresque strides, came to a tense halt as Remington entered. "Well?" he said, his eyes hard, his unwelcoming hands thrust deep into his pockets. That identical "well" with its uptilt of question had been on George's tongue.
