If he questions you, you'd better say nothing for the present. From his point of view what you remember of last night would be only damaging." "I want him to leave me alone," Bobby said. "If he doesn't arrest me I won't have him bullying me." Jenkins knocked and entered. The old butler was as white-faced as Bobby, more tremulous. "The policeman, sir! He's asking for you."
I'll bet you haven't a one in all these mountains as big as one of those fellows up in our country." "Maybe not," said Alex, still smiling, "but they get pretty near as big as a horse in here, and I want to tell you that one of our old, white-faced grizzlies will give you a hot time enough if you run across him he'll come to you without any coaxing." "This is fine!" said Rob.
Then, white-faced and weak-voiced, Sally asked: "Is it true? Do you KNOW it to be true?" "Well, I should say! I was one of the executors. He hadn't anything to leave but a wheelbarrow, and he left that to me. It hadn't any wheel, and wasn't any good.

Women faint, men in courts of justice fall in apoplectic fits, or become victims of new and mysterious diseases, simply from the want of pure air. A constant slow murder goes on in nurseries and schoolrooms; and white-faced, nerveless children grow into white-faced and nerveless men and women, as the price of this violated law.

With a sudden cry, white-faced, Helena was on her feet, staring at him, her hands clutched at her bosom a wild, demoniacal, mocking orgy in her soul. Her reputation! It seemed she wanted to scream out the words her reputation! Thornton's face flushed with a quick-sweeping flood of crimson. "I'm a brute a brute with a blundering tongue!" he cried miserably.
Composure was nearly restored to me, and I knelt upon the other side of the white-faced creature whose presence there seemed so utterly outside the realm of possibility, and examined him with a consuming and fearful interest; for it was palpable that, if not already dead, he was dying rapidly. He was a slightly built man, and the first discovery that I made was a curious one.
But when he had come to the end of the street and was on the road up the hill, the smile died. He seemed all at once to shrink and stoop and fade, no longer a Lion of the Lord, but a poor, white-faced, horrified little man who had meant in his heart to give a great revelation, and who had succeeded only in uttering blasphemy to the very face of God's prophet.
The guests were seated round the board, drinking healths and singing, and Harold was thinking sorrowfully of the brother who had fallen, a traitor to his country, when of a sudden there was a loud knocking at the door. 'What is that? inquired the startled guests. The door was thrown open, and a weary, white-faced man appeared, all splashed and caked with mud.
The beautiful young girl, in her dress of fleecy white, with the faded purple blossoms on her breast entwined among the meshes of her disheveled golden hair, crouching back among the green leaves, and the white-faced, handsome, angry man clutching her white arm, crying out hoarsely that never again should they both breathe the same air beneath that roof that she must leave Gray Gables within the hour, or he would.
