The small hand closed then until it was clutching whitely the woodwork beneath it. She understood at last how much Wickersham had seen; she was never to understand entirely her mood of that moment. For had she waited she would have left him with finger ringless. Instead she wheeled without a word and climbed, white-lipped, upstairs.
After us they galloped trembling, white-lipped, like men who face to face had fought and conquered Death, but triumphant ah, triumphant! On the high head of the bridge Ayesha wheeled her horse, and so for one proud moment stood to welcome them.
The same is related as occurring to South American hunters with the white-lipped peccaries that have a similar habit of trooping together in droves, and acting in concert, both for defence and attack, against the common enemy. The chief points of distinction between the two species are in the size and colour.
"I insist that this man be cast into prison at once," snarled the white-lipped Bolaroz. Her eyes flashed and her bosom heaved with anger. "You are not at liberty to command in Graustark, Prince Bolaroz," she said, slowly and distinctly. "I am ruler here." The heart of every Graustark nobleman leaped with pride at this daring rebuff. Bolaroz gasped and was speechless for some seconds.
He put the pistol beside the other on the table. For some moments he stood a hulking statue, shaken as though stricken with earthquake, white-faced, white-lipped, staring, with crossed, blue eyes, at nothing. At last he recovered power of motion, drank another whiskey, and replaced bottle, syphon, and glass in the cupboard. He found himself suddenly clear-headed, able to think.
"And then I find you turning against all we aimed to do talking of going over, almost lightly to those others."... She was white-lipped as she spoke. In the most curious way she had captured the moral values of the situation. I found myself protesting ineffectually against her fixed conviction. "It's because I think my duty lies in this change that I make it," I said.
"I don't understand," she repeated in white-lipped distress. "Why do you look at me so strangely? And you tell me that I know.... What is it that I know? Couldn't you tell me? I am " Her voice failed. "Dear do you remember once last April that you were ill?... And awoke to find yourself on your own bed?" "Duane!" It was a cry of terror. "Dearest! Dearest!
I had thought of it, but with no mercy in my heart, yet as De Artigny spoke I felt the ugliness of my threat more acutely, and, for an instant, stood before him white-lipped, and ashamed. Then before me arose Cassion's face, sarcastic, supercilious, hateful, and I laughed in scorn of the warning. "Thought of it!" I exclaimed, "yes, but for that I care nothing. Why should I, Monsieur?
But first I gotta give Nebraska's friends a chance to draw cards. A chance, y' understand." "You'll be killed," she told him, white-lipped. "Why, no," said he. "Not never a-tall. Drawing cards is one thing and playing the hand out is a cat with another kind of tail. I got hopes they won't get too rough with me." "Well, of all the stubborn damn fools I ever saw " began the girl, angrily.
Both make their lair in hollow logs, or in caves among the rocks, and both are gregarious in their habits. In this last habit, however, they exhibit some difference. The white-lipped species associate in troops to the number of hundreds, and even as many as a thousand have been seen together; whereas the others do not live in such large droves, but are oftener met with in pairs.
