Looking like the hunted and not the hunter, baffled, worn, with the exhaustion of deferred hope and consuming hate and anger in his face, white-lipped, wild-eyed, draggle-haired, seamed with jealousy and anger, and torturing himself with the conviction that he showed it all and they exulted in it, he went by them in the dark, like a haggard head suspended in the air: so completely did the force of his expression cancel his figure.
A great abyss of thought confronted them; they were apparently struggling on the edge, utterly unable to grasp a single inspiration or idea. "She's been waiting a year, Tennys. Do you know what that means?" "Yes, Hugh; I know too well. She has prayed and hoped and loved, and now you are come to her. It means that she will be happy oh, so happy!" murmured his white-lipped companion, cold as ice.
White-lipped she stared at him, unable to formulate even a conventional greeting, her heart beating rapidly as she watched him cross the room. He, too, seemed to have no words, and she saw with increased nervousness that his face was dark with obvious displeasure.
In the interim of waiting he glanced casually over the contents of the New York papers which he had received in the mail. Unto Constance Brevoort, awaiting him with a great trepidation in the little den, came a white-lipped, stern-faced man with a paper crushed In his hand. "Read that!" he said curtly, pointing to a paragraph at the head of the "Society Column."
In size, however, there is a great difference between the two: the white-lipped peccary weighing 100 pounds, or nearly twice the weight of the collared species.
There were, of course, certain details to be observed, the necessity of which filled him with unspeakable regret; but if he might be excused He hastened forth to set in motion the proper machinery, and while he was absent Kirk told his story. It left the woman white-lipped and incoherent, and roused even the icy Cortlandt to genuine wrath.
Presently Anne stepped out bareheaded into the chill autumn dusk; very determinedly and steadily she took her way down through the sere clover field over the log bridge and up through the spruce grove, lighted by a pale little moon hanging low over the western woods. Mrs. Barry, coming to the door in answer to a timid knock, found a white-lipped eager-eyed suppliant on the doorstep.
White-lipped, breathless, in a ghastly silence Anna Agar and Seymour Michael stared at each other over the dainty tea-table, across a gulf of misused years, through the tangle of two unfaithful lives. Then Jem Agar began his story, addressing himself to Dora, then, and until the end. "I was not with Stevenor," he said, "when his force was surprised and annihilated.
Sloman smiled a white-lipped smile of sympathy, and said, "Yes: I will go and send her to you." "Oh, don't hurry her," I said falsely, hoping, however, that she would. Did I say before that Bessie was tall?
An exclamation broke from Kent. "Impossible!" he gasped. "I would have said the same this morning," declared Clymer. "But on investigation I find that Rochester has over-drawn his account here for a large amount and borrowed heavily. The further I look into his financial affairs the more involved I find them." "But" Kent was white-lipped.
