Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_74200.55I grew impatient: a restless movement or two, and an eager and exacting glance fastened on his face, conveyed the feeling to him as effectually as words could have done, and with less trouble.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_65080.52My eye rose to his; and while I looked in his fierce face I gave an involuntary sigh; his gripe was painful, and my over-taxed strength almost exhausted.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_71110.49We may, perhaps, succeed in restoring her to them, if she is not obstinate: but I trace lines of force in her face which make me sceptical of her tractability."
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_69670.49Distrust, the very feeling I dreaded, appeared in Hannah's face.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_44620.45I still felt as a wanderer on the face of the earth; but I experienced firmer trust in myself and my own powers, and less withering dread of oppression.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_74330.44He looked at me before he proceeded: indeed, he seemed leisurely to read my face, as if its features and lines were characters on a page.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_47950.44I suppose I do come on; though in what fashion I know not; being scarcely cognisant of my movements, and solicitous only to appear calm; and, above all, to control the working muscles of my face -- which I feel rebel insolently against my will, and struggle to express what I had resolved to conceal.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_40820.44I saw Mr. Rochester shudder: a singularly marked expression of disgust, horror, hatred, warped his countenance almost to distortion; but he only said -- "Come, be silent, Richard, and never mind her gibberish: don't repeat it."
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_86720.42Whether he was incensed or surprised, or what, it was not easy to tell: he could command his countenance thoroughly.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_54750.41He rose and came towards me, and I saw his face all kindled, and his full falcon-eye flashing, and tenderness and passion in every lineament.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_31340.39Most people would have termed her a splendid woman of her age: and so she was, no doubt, physically speaking; but then there was an expression of almost insupportable haughtiness in her bearing and countenance.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_45080.33The well-known face was there: stern, relentless as ever -- there was that peculiar eye which nothing could melt, and the somewhat raised, imperious, despotic eyebrow.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_51850.33What does that inexplicable, that uncanny turn of countenance mean?"
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_48470.30I used to look at my master's face to see if it were sad or fierce; but I could not remember the time when it had been so uniformly clear of clouds or evil feelings.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_61460.28I don't know what sphynx-like expression is forming in your countenance.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_42240.28"Little friend," said he, in quite a changed tone -- while his face changed too, losing all its softness and gravity, and becoming harsh and sarcastic -- "you have noticed my tender penchant for Miss Ingram: don't you think if I married her she would regenerate me with a vengeance?"
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_57660.27In a state between sleeping and waking, you noticed her entrance and her actions; but feverish, almost delirious as you were, you ascribed to her a goblin appearance different from her own: the long dishevelled hair, the swelled black face, the exaggerated stature, were figments of imagination; results of nightmare: the spiteful tearing of the veil was real: and it is like her.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_51920.25But if you look up and smile with that countenance, I shall swear concession before I know to what, and that will make a fool of me."
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_92690.23But in his countenance I saw a change: that looked desperate and brooding -- that reminded me of some wronged and fettered wild beast or bird, dangerous to approach in his sullen woe.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_44710.22This I felt sure was Eliza, though I could trace little resemblance to her former self in that elongated and colourless visage.
Charlotte_Bronte_Jane_Eyre.txt_75850.20He examined my face, I thought, with austerity, as I came near: the traces of tears were doubtless very visible upon it.

Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors.txt_37870.85Shame, annoyance, and an almost irresistible desire openly to proclaim her aversion now before every one, filled her soul and were mirrored on her face, although its changing expression was misunderstood.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess.txt_1330.81Then, for the first time, I was overcome by shyness, assailed by the childish terror that the sight of a strange face always inspired.
Charlotte_Bronte_Villette.txt_2310.77The character of his face was quite Scotch; but there was feeling in his eye, and emotion in his now agitated countenance.
Charlotte_Bronte_Villette.txt_18660.73Desiree proved herself the true daughter of her astute parent, by never suffering either her countenance or manner to betray the least sign of mortification on discovering the loss.
Wister_Marlitt_Gisela.txt_7300.71But any one who could have looked into his face must have instantly confessed that nothing could be farther from this man’s soul at this moment than vanity, ——there wassuch settled gravity, such stern determination upon the frowning brow.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie.txt_14370.69His face always wears the look of cold repose of which I have spoken; but, between the eyebrows, there is what I might call an involuntary, unguarded expression of what a superficial observer might think sternness; to me it seems settled melancholy."
Wister_Marlitt_Gisela.txt_9760.69expression of the bitterest disappointment appeared in her face.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie.txt_14310.67What impression Sabina’s account made upon him no one could tell; his looks were utterly impenetrable, not the smallest change of countenance betrayed his thoughts.
Charlotte_Bronte_The_Professor.txt_31260.62The display of eccentric vigour never gave her pleasure, and it only sounded in her voice or flashed in her countenance when extraordinary circumstances -- and those generally painful -- forced it out of the depths where it burned latent.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess.txt_45880.60He was without a hat, and his usually calm countenance showed signs of emotion.
Charlotte_Bronte_Villette.txt_42670.60The Queen, his wife, knew this: it seemed to me, the reflection of her husband's grief lay, a subduing shadow, on her own benignant face.
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife.txt_25710.60With all the hostility that she cherished in her heart towards the young wife, she could not but feel some compassion for the pain that was evident in her pale face, and he was all unmoved ; he had not even uttered a word of entreaty for forgiveness.
Charlotte_Bronte_Shirley.txt_50200.57Firmness his countenance still indicated, but not austerity.
Charlotte_Bronte_Shirley.txt_21770.57I ought, no doubt, to be proud of their countenance.
Charlotte_Bronte_Shirley.txt_112830.57I read his countenance, or tried to read it.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors.txt_41020.57As he stood thus, every lineament of his handsome face showed the strength and resolution that would to the last resist being forced to an explanation.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors.txt_22910.57Without a change of countenance, with all her own calm gentleness of manner, the dean’s widow removed her despised belongings.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS.txt_4730.56No, no tears flowed, and to a child’s inexperienced eye, there was no sign of extraordinary emotion in the serious face except in the unusual pallor which overspread it.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS.txt_21290.56Madame and the Couneillor’s widow had been mute witnesses of the scene,—the countenance of the former had expressed great disapprobation, at one time it had seemed almost as if she would have taken part in what was going on.
Charlotte_Bronte_Shirley.txt_103380.55Perhaps if he had been looking at her harshly or timidly, or if one undecided line had marked his countenance, she would have rebelled, and the lesson had ended there and then; but he was only awaiting her compliance -- as calm as marble, and as cool.
Wister_Marlitt_Gisela.txt_10870.54Any one acquainted with his Highness’s face would have known that in spite of his extraordinary control of feature, in spite of the commonplace, almost frivolous conversation that he now sustained with Oliveira, he was in a state of violent excitement.

Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess.txt_60930.54All unction, all hypocritical pietism, had utterly vanished from his agitated countenance.
Wister_Marlitt_Gisela.txt_16190.54Every trace of the loveliness of the gentle Princess Dornroschen vanished from her countenance.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie.txt_46590.54She paused for a moment, and an expression of inextinguishable hatred distorted her countenance.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie.txt_17740.54In a moment the expression of anguish upon her countenance was changed to one of the bitterest anger.
Charlotte_Bronte_Villette.txt_38960.54The modesty Ginevra herself had never evinced in this matter, now flushed all over the face of her admirer.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess.txt_54820.53I was bewildered to perceive sudden and violent emotion in tbe countenance of the unhappy woman.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors.txt_44040.53"Oh, my dear, she might easily have done that of her husband had shown more sense in his investments; but he mixed himself up with projects that carried swindling on the face of them."
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife.txt_20950.52Something like fear overcame her as she looked into his face ; there is always something terrible to a woman in the sudden pallor of a man in the full pride and strength of manhood. "
Wister_Marlitt_Baliff.txt_25980.52Various emotions were evidently struggling Within her for the mastery; but her lips remained closed, and there was insurmountable determination in her pale face as she retreated from the door. "
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie.txt_42700.52"As you entered you saw," she continued, averting her face, and drawing a deep breath, "a defenceless girl striving vainly to repel the insolence of a man lost to all sense of honour.
Charlotte_Bronte_The_Professor.txt_20450.51As neither surprise, pleasure, approbation, nor interest were evinced in her countenance, so no more were disdain, envy, annoyance, weariness; if that inscrutable mien said anything, it was simply this -- "The matter is too trite to excite an emotion, or call forth an opinion."
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors.txt_23320.49She marked the amazement painted on her sister’s beautiful face, and, fearing lest she might give utterance to it in some thoughtless remark, hastened to offer her some tea.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS.txt_13330.49He had sometimes passed her in the hall Without seeing her, indeed, at such times he had seemed very much annoyed, and the expression of annoyance on his countenance by no means beautified it.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS.txt_30330.49Thus only could she explain the irritated surprise that his face expressed upon his entrance.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess.txt_22940.49J 37 tiful face, that still showed traces of her late agitation.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie.txt_9340.49He might easily have seen her displeasure in her face, but he continued to stare most insultingly.
Wister_Marlitt_Gisela.txt_9150.48she cried, with every sign of consternation in her countenance.
Wister_Marlitt_Baliff.txt_3980.48His face darkened in unmistakable annoyance.
Charlotte_Bronte_Shirley.txt_38890.48Not naturally very confident, a failure of physical strength and a depression of spirits had not tended to increase Caroline's presence of mind and ease of manner, or to give her additional courage to face strangers, and she quailed, in spite of self-remonstrance, as she and her uncle walked up the broad, paved approach leading from the gateway of Fieldhead to its porch.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess.txt_57030.48I passed by her : I could not let her see my face.
Charlotte_Bronte_Villette.txt_14000.48Read that countenance."
Charlotte_Bronte_The_Professor.txt_2890.48there's some sense in that face."
Wister_Marlitt_OMS.txt_42510.46Charming as is a blush upon the check of innocence, it is revolting upon the countenance of an arrogant man who is evidently struggling to decide whether he shall disclose or conceal some degrading circumstance.
Charlotte_Bronte_Villette.txt_14650.46Madame's face of stone (for of stone in its present night aspect it looked: it had been human, and, as I said before, motherly, in the salon) betrayed no response.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess.txt_46350.45Her gentle face was still pale with terror, and at Charlotte's words the lines about her mouth grew harsh and severe.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess.txt_46180.44The soothing calm in his face and bearing produced its effect ; the clamour was instantly stilled.
Wister_Marlitt_Baliff.txt_9510.44He looked as he spoke into her face, into the brown eyes that met his own in undeniable terror and perplexity.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie.txt_40170.44His face looked strangely altered as he walked several times up and down the room, and then resumed his seat.

Marlitt_E_Eu_At_the_Councill_43393_38270.85Shame, annoyance, and an almost irresistible desire openly to proclaim her aversion now before every one, filled her soul and were mirrored on her face, although its changing expression was misunderstood.

Crawford_F_Ma_Don_Orsino_13218_64090.85He was as pale and thin as ever, but his face softened oddly; certain lines which contributed to his usually bitter and sceptical expression disappeared, while others became visible which changed his look completely.
Lytton_Edward_Pelham_Comple_7623_32860.84thought I. I looked towards Glanville: his countenance had recovered its serenity, and was settled into its usual proud, but not displeasing, calmness of expression.
Howard_Edward_Rattlin_the_Ree_21578_61890.84I then strove to read there the sentiment then passing in her mind, and to my confusion, to my dismay, it seemed to me that she was endeavouring to conquer in her countenance the expression of pain.

Collins_Wilkie_The_Woman_in_Wh_583_19920.80Her face, at all ordinary times so touching to look at, in its nervous sensitiveness, weakness, and uncertainty, became suddenly darkened by an expression of maniacally intense hatred and fear, which communicated a wild, unnatural force to every feature.

Cooper_James_F_The_Red_Rover_11409_61270.78The strugglings which stirred his inmost soul were easily to be read in the workings of a countenance that was no longer masked in artifice, but which was deeply charged with shame and sorrow The conflict lasted, however, but for a moment.

Sue_Eug_ne_The_Wandering_J_3350_253220.76What she had above all feared in the discovery of her secret was to see it received with raillery, contempt, or humiliating compassion; far from this, joy and happiness were distinctly visible on the manly and honest face of Agricola.

Cooper_James_F_The_Prairie_6450_58420.67At times, his countenance lighted with the gleamings of a sordid joy, as he bent his look on the tent which contained his recovered prisoner, and then, again, the impression seemed unaccountably chased away by the shadows of intense apprehension.

Dickens_Charle_Barnaby_Rudge_917_54200.67It had nothing harsh or cruel in its expression; neither had his face, which was thin and mild, and wore an air of melancholy; but it was suggestive of an indefinable uneasiness; which infected those who looked upon him, and filled them with a kind of pity for the man: though why it did so, they would have had some trouble to explain.
Evans_Augusta_Vashti_Or_Unt_31620_45260.66His continued vigils at "Solitude," and the profound grief that could not find vent in tears or words, had printed characters on his pale, wearied face, that should have commanded the sympathy of all who shared his friendship; but the sight of his worn features and the sound of his slow step only embittered the heart of the orphan, who saw in these evidences of fatigue and anxiety new manifestations of affection for the patient who was not yet entirely beyond danger.
Sue_Eug_ne_The_Wandering_J_3350_288880.65said Djalma, more and more astonished; not that the half caste, still young, and with a countenance of sombre beauty, appeared to him incapable of inspiring or feeling the tender passion, but that, until now, he had never imagined him capable of conceiving so deep a sorrow.

Eliot_George_Daniel_Deronda_7469_137740.65Gwendolen perceived the change in his face; but the intense relief of expecting him to come again could not give way to any other feeling, and there was a recovery of the inspired hope and courage in her.

MacDonald_Geor_The_Portent_and_8913_17330.48His countenance and salute convinced me that he recognised me.
MacDonald_Geor_The_Marquis_of_7174_72330.48But that face, when at last it came, was full of sorrowful displeasure.
MacDonald_Geor_David_Elginbrod_2291_87390.48Before this, Euphra had seen only the still waiting face; and, as I have said, she had been repelled by it.

Grand_Sarah_The_Heavenly_Tw_8676_99160.48The truth was, however, that he understood her better than anybody else did, the complete latitude he gave to her to do as she liked being evidence of the fact, if only she could have interpreted it; but she had failed to do so, his quiet undemonstrative manner having sufficed to deceive her superficial observation of him as effectually as the treacherous smoothness of her own placid face when in repose, upon the unruffled surface of which there was neither mark nor sign to indicate the current of changeful moods, ambitious projects, and poetical fancies, which coursed impetuously within, might excusably have imposed upon him.
Porter_Jane_The_Scottish_Ch_6086_8220.48Wallace perceived that his time-worn servant was indeed exhausted; and knowing the toils and hazards of the perilous track he must have passed over in his way to his fearful solitude, also remembering how, as he sat in his shelter, he had himself dreaded the effects of the storm upon so aged a traveler, he no longer wondered at the dispirited tone of his greeting, and readily accounted for the pale countenance and tremulous step which at first had excited his alarm.
Collins_Wilkie_Antonina_Or_T_3606_10810.48At first an expression of grief and pity softened the austerity which seemed the habitual characteristic of his countenance when in repose, but soon these milder and tenderer feelings appeared to vanish from his heart as suddenly as they had arisen; his features reassumed their customary sternness, and he muttered to himself as he mixed with the crowd struggling onwards in the direction of the basilica: 'Let him depart unregretted; he has denied himself to the service of his Maker.
Roe_Edward_Pay_A_Knight_of_the_6311_13750.48But Mrs. Arnot had recognized the intolerable suffering and humiliation stamped on the young man's features; she had seen the fearful, shrinking gaze at herself and Laura, the lurid gleam of desperation, and read correctly the despairing gesture by which he sought to hide from them, the rabble, and all the world, a countenance from which he already felt that shame had blotted all trace of manhood.
Warner_Susan_Queechy_8874_135720.48said he looking at her with a countenance of serious anxiety.
Thompson_Mauri_Alice_of_Old_Vi_4097_29530.48"Aid or countenance!
Sue_Eug_ne_The_Wandering_J_3350_57360.48Look me well in the face; and see if I have a look of suffering!
Sue_Eug_ne_The_Wandering_J_3350_55050.48How your countenance is changed!

Auerbach_Berth_On_the_Heights_33294_109330.48His face had changed.
Alexander_Mrs_A_Crooked_Path_18418_1190.48as strongly as a face could.
Sue_Eug_ne_The_Wandering_J_3350_271370.48During these terrible reflections, the marshal had not taken his eyes off his children, and his manly countenance assumed an expression at once so touching and mournful -- his look revealed so painfully the tortures of his despairing soul -- that Rose and Blanche, confused, alarmed, but yielding together to a spontaneous movement, threw themselves on their father's neck, and covered him with tears and caresses.
Melville_Herma_White_Jacket_O_10712_39760.48Surrounded by moans and shrieks, by features distorted with anguish inflicted by himself, he yet maintained a countenance almost supernaturally calm; and unless the intense interest of the operation flushed his wan face with a momentary tinge of professional enthusiasm, he toiled away, untouched by the keenest misery coming under a fleet-surgeon's eye.
Dickens_Charle_Dombey_and_Son_821_135500.48The helplessness of the action, the appeal it made to him, the confidence it expressed, the unspeakable sorrow in her face, the pain of mind she had too plainly suffered, and was suffering then, his knowledge of her past history, her present lonely, worn, and unprotected appearance, all so rushed upon the good Captain together, that he fairly overflowed with compassion and gentleness.
Lytton_Edward_Rienzi_the_Las_1396_16660.48The moon was high and the hour late when he arose, and then few traces of the past excitement remained upon his countenance; for Walter de Montreal was not of that mould in which woe can force a settlement, or to which any affliction can bring the continued and habitual melancholy that darkens those who feel more enduringly, though with emotions less stormy.
Cooper_James_F_The_Spy_9845_27950.48Isabella paced the floor in silence for several minutes, until she had succeeded in conquering the violence of her feelings, when she approached the place where Frances yet sat, endeavoring to exclude the eyes of her companion from reading the shame expressed in her countenance, and, taking the hand of the other, she spoke with an evident effort at composure.
Lytton_Edward_Pelham_Comple_7623_21320.48When I reached my chambers, I hastened immediately to bed, but not to sleep: the extraordinary scene I had witnessed; the dark and ferocious expression of Glanville's countenance, so strongly impressed with every withering and deadly passion; the fearful and unaccountable remembrance that had seemed to gather over the livid and varying face of the gamester; the mystery of Glanville's disguise; the intensity of a revenge so terribly expressed, together with the restless and burning anxiety I felt -- not from idle curiosity, but, from my early and intimate friendship for Glanville, to fathom its cause -- all crowded upon my mind with a feverish confusion, that effectually banished repose.
Yonge_Charlott_The_Heir_of_Red_2505_122840.47And she, in her plain white muslin and quiet bonnet, was hardly bridal-looking in dress, and so it was with her face, still beautiful and brilliant in complexion, but with the weight of care permanent on it, and all the shades of feeling concealed by a fixed command of countenance, unable, however, to hide the oppression of dejection and anxiety.
Scott_Walter_The_Bride_of_La_471_6970.47Some secret sorrow, or the brooding spirit of some moody passion, had quenched the light and ingenuous vivacity of youth in a countenance singularly fitted to display both, and it was not easy to gaze on the stranger without a secret impression either of pity or awe, or at least of doubt and curiosity allied to both.
Hope_Anthony_The_Heart_of_Pr_41438_6020.47For she now perceived that the passion of the Marquis was real and deep, and she became very sorry for him: the longer the face of the rascally physician grew the more sad the Princess became: she walked up and down, bewailing the terrible effects of her beauty, wishing that she were not so fair, and mourning very tenderly for the sad plight of the unhappy Marquis.
Evans_Augusta_Vashti_Or_Unt_31620_65300.47Dr. Grey did not lift his face where the shadow of a great, voiceless grief hung heavily, and his low tone indexed deep and painful emotion, when he answered, -- "I sincerely deplore her unfortunate decision, for isolation only augments the ills from which she suffers.
Chesnutt_Charl_The_House_Behin_472_2590.47He had been talking not only to inform the women, but with a deeper purpose, conceived since his morning walk, and deepened as he had followed, during his narrative, the changing expression of Rena's face and noted her intense interest in his story, her pride in his successes, and the occasional wistful look that indexed her self-pity so completely.
Aguilar_Grace_Home_Influence_36648_5350.47Herbert seems quite well; I was, it seems, needlessly alarmed, and Percy has this moment -- " She stopped in sudden terror, for there was an expression on her husband's countenance of such unusual agitation, that though he tried to smile when he heard her words, she could not conquer her alarm, more than to say, in a caressing voice to her little boy -- "Will not Percy run to papa, and ask him why he looks so sad?"
Whyte_Melville_Katerfelto_A_S_40883_34290.47The rider's first thought, no doubt, was for the well-being of his steed, after so exhausting a performance; yet did he not fail to remark a peculiar expression on the harbourer's countenance, and the nervous haste with which the old man helped him into the saddle, pocketing the gratuity forced on him unconsciously, and by instinct as it seemed, without a word of thanks.
Sue_Eug_ne_The_Wandering_J_3350_259060.47The excitement of passionate love, the burning ardor of his age, so long repressed, the intense admiration in which he held ideal beauty, were all expressed in his look, mingled with respectful timidity, and gave to the countenance of this youth an undefinable, irresistible character.
Sue_Eug_ne_The_Wandering_J_3350_113130.47For indeed this poor creature, pale, deformed, miserably clad, thus appearing suddenly before her, must have inspired Mdlle, de Cardoville, so passionately fond of grace and beauty, with a feeling of repugnance, if not of terror -- and these two sentiments were both visible in her expressive countenance.
Meade_L_T_Polly_A_New_Fa_18666_10320.47The Doctor having conquered Alice, again forgot his second daughter's vagaries, but a much sterner and more formidable interview was in store for him; it was one thing to conquer Alice, who was impressionable, and had a soft heart, and another to encounter the stony visage and rather awful presence of Mrs. Power.
Green_Anna_Kat_Hand_and_Ring_31681_64520.47Though rigid still, and unrelieved by any signs of returning consciousness, it was no longer that of the man they knew, but a strange face, owning the same features, but distinguished now by a look sinister as it was unaccustomed, filling the breasts of those who saw it with dismay, and making any contemplation of his countenance more than painful to those who loved him.
Green_Anna_Kat_Hand_and_Ring_31681_60630.47Though his position was such she could not see his face, there was that in his attitude which bespoke hopelessness and an utter weariness of life, and as ash after ash fell from the grate, she imagined how the gloom deepened on the brow which till this hour had confronted the world with such undeviating courage and confidence.
Corelli_Marie_Ardath_The_Sto_5114_46590.47Only that Khosrul's rugged features had borne the impress of patient, long-endured, bitter suffering, and the personage who now confronted him had a face so calm and seriously impassive that it might have been taken for that of one newly dead, from whose lineaments all traces of earthly passion had forever been smoothed away.
Aguilar_Grace_Home_Influence_36648_39330.47Her children eagerly entered on their day's enjoyment -- Herbert conquering his anxiety, to emulate his mother's calmness, but Miss Harcourt had been too painfully startled by the unusual expression of forcibly-controlled suffering on her friend's face, to do so with any success.
Roe_Edward_Pay_An_Original_Bel_5437_32850.47She appeared years older than the thoughtless girl for whom passing pleasure and excitement had been the chief motives of life; but in the strengthening lines of her face a womanly beauty was developing which caused even strangers to turn and glance after her.
Kennedy_Willia_John_Greenleaf_37191_22430.47A countenance on which was a look of shyness, of surprise, of perplexity; withal, a countenance irradiated by reciprocal affection and pleasure in seeing others pleased -- if any one of the present artists could have caught and delineated those features, the painter would have been destined to share the immortality of the poet.
James_G_P_R_Agincourt_A_Ro_39519_26550.47Her fears might have betrayed her; for she forgot for a moment the complete change of her dress, and fancied that she must be instantly recognised; but the instant after, recovering her presence of mind, she drew the hood far over her face, and passed the man boldly, without his even turning to look at her.
Hardy_Thomas_Life_s_Little_I_3047_5480.47Nausea in such circumstances, like midnight watching, fatigue, trouble, fright, has this marked effect upon the countenance, that it often brings out strongly the divergences of the individual from the norm of his race, accentuating superficial peculiarities to radical distinctions.
Finley_Martha_Elsie_at_Nantuc_14379_13620.47There was unusual gravity, amounting almost to sternness, in his face, and Lulu's wore a more subdued expression than she had ever seen upon it, while traces of tears were evident upon her cheeks, "He has been talking very seriously to her in regard to the ill-temper she has shown during the past few days," Violet said to herself.
Dickens_Charle_Dombey_and_Son_821_77900.47But hurriedly dismissing whatever shadow of earnestness, or faint confession of a purpose, laudable or wicked, that her face, or voice, or manner: had, for the moment, betrayed, she lounged upon the couch, her most insipid and most languid self again, as Edith entered the room.
Corelli_Marie_Ardath_The_Sto_5114_29930.47He had evidently been uncomfortably impressed by Khosrul's words, and the restless anxiety reflected in his face communicated itself by a sort of electric thrill to Theos, whose heart began to beat heavily with a sense of vague alarm.
Cooper_James_F_The_Prairie_6450_58440.47But there he rather found reason for alarm than grounds of encouragement, for the whole character of the squatter's countenance expressed the fearful truth, that he had redeemed his dull faculties from the influence of the kidnapper, and that his thoughts were now brooding only on the achievement of his own stubborn intentions.
Tarkington_Boo_The_Gentleman_f_9659_55990.47But when Helen's eye fell upon his fat, rather unhappy face, she felt a pang of pity and unreasoning remorse, which warned her that he who looks upon politics when it is red must steel his eyes to see many a man with the heart-burn.
