There were two, and they sat defiantly in their seats, sneering their contempt of the teacher's wrath, advertising their entire disregard for the restraining influence of rules. Both were boys. The larger, freckle-faced, with an uptilted nose and belligerent eyes, was fully as tall as Ruth.
He'll be disappointed." Billy sighed, but she uptilted her chin a little. "He ought not to be. I told him long, long ago, the very first time, that that I couldn't." "I know, dear; but they don't always understand." Aunt Hannah sighed in sympathy with the far-away Hugh Calderwell, as she looked down at the bright young face near her. There was a moment's silence; then Billy gave a little laugh.
As I advanced into the centre of this open patch of ground, and stood clear of the black silhouettes of the trees, cast about me by the moon, two men appeared to detach themselves from the side wall of the chapel, and advanced to meet me. Albeit they were wrapped in their cloaks uptilted behind by their protruding scabbards it was not difficult to tell the tall figure and stately bearing of St.

There at his feet lay one, the gash through the rim where Queen Creek took its course; and further to the north, where the rim-rock was wrenched to the west, was another likely place.
With his forefinger he uptilted her chin, and now, as she met his glance thus at close quarters, an unaccountable fear took possession of her, and the colour died out of her plump cheeks.
