"The Queen looked much younger and prettier than I expected very like her pictures, even like those which are thought to flatter most but I only saw the profile I could not see the front face as I knelt to her, at least without an upturning of the eyes which I thought would be unseemly and there were but some two or three seconds allowed for the whole affair....
The forehead, as you see, neighbors, is retreating and narrow, the cheek-bones, as usual, high, and the olfactory member, as in all of the natives, inclining to Roman." "Now to me it would seem that the nose of the man hath a marked upturning at the end," Dudley ventured to remark, as the other ran volubly over the general and well-known distinctive points of physical construction in an Indian.
Oh, how hot the room is! and the lilac is stifling. First the windows open! And then this scarf off, and some more light. You will help me to look, will you not?" It was to Maurice she spoke, with a childlike upturning of her face to his an irresistibly confiding gesture.

I forget the second, but the third was Berne, and now at Delemont I looked about for the customs officers with the anxiety which the thought of them always awakens in the human heart, whether one has meant to smuggle or not. Even the good conscience may suffer from the upturning of a well-packed trunk.
"And I shall speak no more to you about this affair until I go away altogether?" And again she signified her assent, gravely and firmly. "And then," he said, "you will soon forget all about it; for of course I shall never come back to Lewis again." "Never?" The word had escaped her unwillingly, and it was accompanied by a quick upturning of the face and a frightened look in the beautiful eyes.
