Sudden terror contorted the thin features, a sheer ecstacy of terror as white-lipped as that which marred the face of the girl who bent above him. "Maybe I've forgotten how she smiled!" he whispered fearfully. "Maybe I'll never be able to " Dryad's eyes flitted desperately around the room, along the shelves laden with those countless figures all white and finely slender, all upturned of face.
That ought to show you, Peggy, that you're wrong." Billy was very white-lipped as he ended, for the Woods temper is a short one. But she had an arrow left for him. "Give it to you! And do you think I'd trust you with it, Billy Woods?" "Peggy! ah, Peggy, I hadn't deserved that. Be just, at least, to me," poor Billy begged of her. Which was an absurd thing to ask of an angry woman.
Godfrey joined them immediately, unable to rest without hearing every word trying to control himself, but conscious that if any one noticed him, they must see that he was white-lipped and trembling. But now all eyes at that end of the room were bent on Silas Marner; the Squire himself had risen, and asked angrily, "How's this? what's this? what do you do coming in here in this way?"
The officer held a revolver in his hand. Leering triumphantly, Waldstricker spoke to Young. "We want Andy Bishop." The lawyer turned to the sheriff. "Put up your gun, Brown, you won't need it," he ejaculated. "Here, child," to Tessibel, who had risen from her chair and started for the stairs. "Wait a minute. Sit down." Tess sank into a chair, white-lipped and silent.
Demetrio and Camilla brought up the rear. She was still nervous, white-lipped and parched; he was angry at their futile maneuver. For there had been battles, no followers of Orozco's to be seen. A handful of Federals, routed.
When those bearing the Colonel to his room turned into the corridor leading to it they encountered his son, who met them with a white-lipped rage, startling to every man of them in its incongruous contrast to the boyish face and figure. "What?" he said, panting. "You've got him, have you?" "Yes," responded the Colonel hilariously; "'ve got me safe 'nuff; pick me up ad' car' me.
An intent look had come into Mary's eyes; her gaze was fixed upon the dark rain-splashed window. It was a face carved from ivory, white-lipped and rigid, on which the old priest looked. "What is it, my daughter? What do you see?" "I see nothing, father." "What is it then that disturbs you?" "I hear, father." "What do you hear?" "There are horsemen on the road." The old knight laughed.
He came closer and looked intently into her eyes, seeking to measure what endurance and steadfastness and stubbornness were hers. But her eyes showed him only glimpses of a storm-tossed soul. "I will make you," he said harshly. "So help me God, Gloria, I will make you. And I am through talking; I am sick of talk. Come with me." She drew back and back in white-lipped fury. "You don't dare...."
What was it that Pale Face Harry had said a little while ago he did not remember. These were jewels here and money wealth and he had won the greatest game that was ever played only he had lost her lost Helena. And he stood and looked upon them and slowly there crept to his face a white-lipped smile. "I'm beat!" he whispered hoarsely. "Beat by the game I won."
But Uncle Denny never repeated this recital, for before he had finished, Jim, white-lipped, had said hoarsely, "Uncle Denny, I can't stand it! I can't!" and had rushed off into the desert night. Even Uncle Denny could not know, as Iron Skull who had lived with him for the past years knew, of Jim's silent anguish in the loss of Penelope.
