Reade_A_Terrible_Temptation_34250.21This appeal acted powerfully on Sir Charles, and he left off suddenly with flushed cheeks and tried to compose himself.
Reade_A_Terrible_Temptation_54680.19"I am grateful to you, sir," said Sir Charles, with a suppressed and manly emotion.
Kingsley_Westward_Ho_45350.16Sir Richard's brow darkened; the Spaniard, in his insane pride, had forced upon the good knight a suspicion which was not really just.
Hawthorne_Scarlet_Letter_15070.16said Roger Chillingworth, deliberately, and fixing an eye, bright with intense and concentrated intelligence, on the minister's face.
Clemens_and_Warner_The_Gilded_Age_59750.16Both had risen, Philip as if to go, and Laura in suppressed excitement.
Collins_The_Moonstone_53360.15Poor Lady Verinder looked puzzled and frightened, and met everything I could say to her with the purely worldly objection that she was not strong enough to face strangers.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_130570.15Her eyes looked uneasily away from Sir Patrick's face, for the first time.
Alcott_Little_Women_10940.15Marmee said I might come, and I don't think you're any the worse for it," said Jo, composing herself, though she kept her eyes on the door.
Reade_A_Terrible_Temptation_31470.15Sir Charles was carried into the Hall, and Richard Bassett turned away, with one triumphant flash of his eye, quickly suppressed, and walked with impenetrable countenance and studied demeanor into Highmore House.
Cooper_The_Pilot_44190.15Griffith had hitherto manifested in his deportment nothing more than a cold determination to act, but the blood now flew to every vessel in his cheeks and forehead, and his dark eyes flashed fire, as he cried authoritatively: "How, sir!
Reade_A_Terrible_Temptation_16480.15Still, of course, she did go out sometimes; and one cold but bright afternoon she was strolling languidly on the parade, when all in a moment she met Sir Charles Bassett face to face.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_40230.14The smile faded from Sir Victor Catheron's lips, the faint color, walking in the chill wind had brought, died out of his face.
Collins_Woman_in_White_51920.14Her cold blue eyes almost warmed as she spoke the words--she looked actually proud of being the officiating medium through which her lord and master composed himself with tobacco-smoke!
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_80310.14After lingering a little by the window, Philip turned, and with more abruptness than was usual with him, said-- 'You don't think there is any cause of anxiety about Laura?'
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_55780.14Sir Victor Catheron smiled, a very quiet and terribly obstinate smile.
Reade_Love_Me_Little_Love_Me_Long_62430.13Plush's face was instantly puckered all over with signals, which David not comprehending, he said, "Can I say a word with you, sir?"
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_31400.13You are very kind, sir.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_10530.12If it were not for baby she feels as though she would like to run away, from Sir Victor and all, anywhere that Inez Catheron's black eyes and derisive smile could never come.
Evans_St_Elmo_55700.12Mr. Manning smiled slightly, and lowered his voice as he said: "Sir Roger Percival came here to-night to be introduced to you.
Kingsley_Westward_Ho_23540.12Sir Richard smiled.
Hawthorne_Scarlet_Letter_15210.11cried Mr. Dimmesdale, passionately, and turning his eyes, full and bright, and with a kind of fierceness, on old Roger Chillingworth.
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol1_16130.11Charles saw my enthusiasm, and ministered to it with eager delight.
Collins_Woman_in_White_37450.11Sir Percival's delight and surprise appeared to be beyond all expression.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_168230.11Sir Patrick's eyes brightened with indignation.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_144220.11Sir Patrick instantly rose from his chair.
Porter_Thaddeus_of_Warsaw_59980.11The younger of the gentlemen, perceiving, by the animated lustre which spread over his patient's eyes, that he was going to speak, put his hand on his lips, and said, "Pardon me, sir!
Porter_Thaddeus_of_Warsaw_65390.10During Sir Robert's animated disclosure, Mary's blushing yet grateful eyes sought a veil in a branch of geranium which she held in her trembling hand.
Aguilar_The_Days_of_Bruce_12990.10"It would seem we are under some mistake, young sir," replied Sir Henry, gazing with unfeigned admiration on the well-knit frame and glowing features of the youthful knight.
Reade_A_Terrible_Temptation_4180.10Sir Charles and Polly raised her, and now there was a marvelous change.
Evans_Beulah_10960.10Harriet's face softened, and she said kindly: "Poor thing!
Bronte_Shirley_106400.10It is well for a Sir Philip Nunnely to redden when he meets her eye.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_19550.10'There is all Charles's fate in his face,' said Philip,--'earnest, melancholy, beautiful!
Collins_Man_and_Wife_137530.10Sir Patrick noted the change of color--and observed her more attentively than ever.
Alexander_Ralph_Wiltons_Weird_7730.10She gave a slight suppressed scream, and as he again dismounted and joined her she looked very pale.
Broughton_Nancy_21850.09Sir Roger enters, and glances in some surprise from Frank's crimson face to my convulsed one.
Broughton_Nancy_65420.08Roger does not answer, he does not even look up, but by a restless movement that he makes in his chair, by a tiny contraction of the brows, I see that my shot has told.
Reade_Put_Yourself_in_His_Place_56530.08Cole, yelling, tried to follow; but Henry, though sick and weak with the blows, caught him, and clung to his knees, and the next moment the place was filled with men carrying torches and gleaming swords, and led by a gentleman, who stood over Henry, in evening dress, but with the haughty expanded nostrils, the brilliant black eyes, and all the features of that knight in rusty armor who had come to him in his dream and left him with scorn.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_69650.06'Not Laura.'
Warren_Ten_Thousand_a_Year_12120.06What am I to say, sir?"
Reade_The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth_121040.06"Maniacs themselves!
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol2_25850.06"Yes, sir; we were much together."
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol1_67840.06away, sir!'
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_35580.06"Why?
Evans_St_Elmo_80730.06"It is not vacant, sir.
Evans_Infelice_15520.06"Yes, sir; but----" "But--what?
Evans_Beulah_90260.06"You cannot see him, sir."
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol2_10550.06How was she to act?

Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_134270.22The invalid's eye remained fixed, by which expression he intended to intimate that his resolution was unalterable.
Collins_Woman_in_White_19840.21Her 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.
Bronte_Shirley_108000.19"Small as it is, it has taken my sleep away, and made me nervous, thin, and foolish; because, on account of that little mark, I am obliged to look forward to a possibility that has its terrors."
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_157400.19But a recompense was in store for him; turning around, he saw near the door a beautiful fair face, whose large blue eyes were, without any marked expression, fixed upon him, while the bouquet of myosotis was gently raised to her lips.
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_158210.19But a recompense was in store for him; turning around, he saw near the door a beautiful fair face, whose large blue eyes were, without any marked expression, fixed upon him, while the bouquet of myosotis was gently raised to her lips.
Aguilar_The_Days_of_Bruce_25110.18At such times Agnes never spoke, but there was a calm, quiet determination in her expression that convinced the Lady Seaton, who alone had leisure to observe her, that her resolution was already taken and unalterable.
Disraeli_Lothair_20110.18The scowl on his distressed countenance at first intimated a retreat; but after a survey, courteous to his host, and speaking kindly to Lothair as he passed on, he made a rush to Mr. Pinto, and, cordially embracing him, said, "Mind we sit together."
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_133570.18The invalid's eye remained fixed, by which expression he intended to intimate that his resolution was unalterable.
Yonge_The_Daisy_Chain_98080.16Meanwhile, Ethel stood unnoticed and silent, making no outward protestation, but with lips compressed, as in her heart of hearts she passed the resolution--that her father should never feel this pain on her account.
Cooper_The_Water-Witch_27320.16Still Ludlow thought there lingered a forced but sad smile about his handsome mouth; and the Patroon gazed at his fine features, with the admiration that one might feel for the most favored of those who were believed to administer at some supernatural shrine.
Macdonald_Robert_Falconer_82440.16He looked down like a compassionate mastiff upon a distressed Italian grayhound.
Warner_Wide_Wide_World_128720.15Ellen looked up, with a peculiar mixture of uncertainty and resolution in her countenance, and said yes.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol4_56860.15There was no occasion, when we came away from the farm, to be such a booby as to turn compassionate, and prevent me from marking Pegriotte's face with my vitriol; and then, too, you talked of your conscience, which was getting troubled.
Howells_A_Forgone_Conclusion_1070.14Who knows but your government might invite me to take service under it in some capacity in which I could employ those little gifts that Heaven "--He paused again, apparently puzzled by the compassionate smile on the consul's lips."
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_77840.14He sat for hours, while she worked, or played, or read, not speaking, not stirring--his eyes fixed upon her, and she, who had never been nervous, grew horribly nervous under this ordeal.
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol2_11080.14"And you do comfort me, Ellen; oh, I do not feel so very wretched with you near me as I do alone, though even you cannot guess this extent of suffering; you know not what it is to love, and yet to feel there is no hope; no--none," she repeated, in a low murmuring tone, as if to convince herself that there was indeed none, as she had said; and it was not strange that thus engrossed, she marked not that a slight shudder passed through her cousin's frame at her last words; that Ellen's cheek suddenly vied in its deadly paleness with her own; that the tears dried up, as if frozen in those large, dark eyes, which were fixed upon her with an expression she would, had she seen it, have found difficult to understand; that the pale lip quivered for a few minutes, so as entirely to prevent her speaking as she had intended.
Roe_Jest_to_Earnest_26490.14She could not know that Lottie had said this to throw dust into their eyes, and to account for her sudden blush, which she could not account for to herself.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_141730.14Then Geoffrey rose slowly to his feet, and fixed his eyes on the wife who had claimed him.
Porter_Thaddeus_of_Warsaw_28860.14Thaddeus followed with his eyes the heightened color of the fair enthusiast, who, accompanying her rhapsody with action expressive as her words, had to repeat her question, "Have you such a friend?"
Hugo_Les_Miserables_151310.13It had very cleverly turned to sufficiently good account the fatigue of the nation, and the hatred of mothers.
Cooper_The_Water-Witch_40530.13"It will never be filled by me, Ludlow;" was the answer, uttered solemnly, and with a decision that denoted a resolution fixed.
Dumas_The_Three_Musketeers_118180.13Then, as if to render an account to herself of the changes she could place upon her countenance, so mobile and so expressive, she made it take all expressions from that of passionate anger, which convulsed her features, to that of the most sweet, most affectionate, and most seducing smile.
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_14390.13"I was possessed to see a smile light up the awful gravity of your face, and I feel amply repaid in that I succeeded.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_76630.13"You told me to give an account of myself," he retorted, at the same time showing rising color in his dust-begrimed face.
Collins_Armadale_7770.13Forced into action by the tortured mind, the muscles of the lower face, which had never moved yet, were moving distortedly now.
Warner_Queechy_162660.12He did not say a single word, but now and then a soft touch of his hand or of his lips upon her brow, in its expressive tenderness would unnerve all her resolution and oblige her to have no reserve that time at least in letting her secret thoughts and feelings be known, as far as tears could tell them.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_224820.12Though he felt the slow fire devouring his entrails, he concealed his pain beneath a forced and nervous smile.
Hugo_Les_Miserables_314500.12Twenty times, as he sat in that carriage face to face with Jean Valjean, the legal tiger had roared within him.
Holmes_Elsie_Venner_52650.12Helen knew well enough, now, the meaning of the sadness which had left such traces in his features and tones, and it made her feel very kindly and compassionate towards him.
Cooper_The_Spy_41140.12There were moments, indeed, when her anxious companions thought that they could discern marks of recollection; but the expression of exquisite woe that accompanied these transient gleams of reason, forced them to the dreadful alternative of wishing that she might forever be spared the agony of thought.
Yonge_The_Daisy_Chain_106650.11Meta had some fixed ideas--she should wear pink.
Porter_Scottish_Chiefs_37380.10Wallace in a moment recovered from the transient wildness which had possessed him.
Cooper_The_Water-Witch_60620.10Ludlow thought he strove to speak again, and he bent his ear to his mouth.
Braddon_Lady_Audleys_Secret_49730.10She thought of all these things with a transient thrill of triumph, which was stronger even than her terror.
Aguilar_Home_Influence_43800.10The service was over; and as Mrs. Hamilton rose from the private prayer, with which each individual concluded his devotions, her nephew stood before her, white as marble, but with an expression of fixed resolution, which made her heart bound up with hope, at the very moment it turned sick and faint with terror.
Harland_Alone_10470.10She saw a pained look flit over the countenance of the visitor, and administered the only panacea she possessed.
Alcott_Little_Women_27740.10for her tone implied it, and something in her face made Meg color, and wish she had not been so frank.
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_8660.09The firelight shone full on her face, and she lifted a book and held it as a screen.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol4_59100.08The little cripple did not seem much moved by these marks of tenderness; he had just learned that, for a time, he would be moved off to the prison for young offenders.
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol2_59290.08Besides, I could not help feeling that suspicion must light on me from my sudden disappearance; and my indignation was deep, to think how such an imputation would tarnish the honor of that service I gloried in so much.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_88830.06Oh, you must not tell him!
Warner_Queechy_73620.06"I would rather you should help somebody else," said she, still looking at him.
Trollope_Can_You_Forgive_Her_90510.06That's well.
Reade_Put_Yourself_in_His_Place_131920.06"Can I see that lady?"
Reade_Love_Me_Little_Love_Me_Long_94060.06I am busy."
Reade_Foul_Play_40300.06"What is the use?"
Collins_Armadale_94940.06she asked.
Auerbach_On_the_Heights_152270.06But whence?
Auerbach_On_the_Heights_114860.06Come!
Alcott_Little_Women_10210.06Now then, you're fixed."

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_20960.14The feverish glow upon her cheeks was gradually disappearing beneath the refreshing breath of Spring, but it was powerless to remove the expression of gloomy reflection upon her brow.

Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_7730.40One more practiced in the arts of great cities would have hid her blushes beneath a veil, or, at least, have cast down her thickly fringed lashes, so as to have concealed the liquid lustre of her animated eyes; but, on the contrary, the delighted girl looked around her with a smile that seemed to say: "If you are my friends, rejoice with me, for I am very happy."
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_7700.37One more practiced in the arts of great cities would have hid her blushes beneath a veil, or, at least, have cast down her thickly fringed lashes, so as to have concealed the liquid lustre of her animated eyes; but, on the contrary, the delighted girl looked around her with a smile that seemed to say: "If you are my friends, rejoice with me, for I am very happy."
Holmes_Elsie_Venner_49480.21Her face was hidden by her veil; but her father knew her state of feeling, as well by her movements and attitudes as by the expression of her features.
Hawthorne_Twice_Told_Tales_5270.21He even smiled again--that same sad smile which always appeared like a faint glimmering of light proceeding from the obscurity beneath the veil.
Evans_Beulah_44850.18At length fugitive families ventured home again; and though bands of crape, grim badges of bereavement, met the eye on all sides, all rejoiced that Death had removed his court--that his hideous carnival was over.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_21570.18Having said this, the almost convulsive movement of his thick moustache, as he stood looping Morok full in the face, gave evidence of a severe internal conflict.
Holmes_Elsie_Venner_21330.17The light of those beautiful eyes was like the lustre of ice; in all her features there was nothing of that human warmth which shows that sympathy has reached the soul beneath the mask of flesh it wears.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_1730.13The veteran turned; to the great astonishment of the sisters, they perceived a large tear, which traced its humid furrow down his tanned cheek, and lost itself in his thick moustache.
Warner_Wide_Wide_World_142230.13Happily, joyfully, Ellen remembered, as she sat gazing over the darkening city and its brightening lights, that there was One near her who could not change; that Scotland was no remove from Him; that His providence as well as His heaven was over her there; that there, not less than in America, she was His child.
Sheppard_Charles_Auchester_vol2_46550.13Clara was even importunate that she should live with her in Germany; Miss Lawrence was excessively indignant at being refused herself; and there have been worthy gentlemen, shades not to be invoked or recognized, who would have been very thankful to be allowed to dream of that pale brow veiled, those clear eyes downcast, those tapering fingers twined in theirs.
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_248670.12She was carried out of the hall, the thick veil which concealed her face dropped off, and Madame Danglars was recognized.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_105380.12There was much of pity for his unconscious infant, and tears were shed at the thought of what the wife must be suffering; but if the face could have been seen beneath the thick crape folds of her veil, it would have shown no tears--only a sweet, calm look of peace, and almost gladness.
Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_30980.11"Because he is so quiet, and blazes like the devil underneath."
Wood_East_Lynne_34470.11Isabel looked at the inscription, her veil shading her face.
Broughton_Nancy_62980.11I think she would be surprised if she were to see my "_face of delight!_" CHAPTER XL.
Reade_The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth_152140.10"Thou," He then desired her to rise and go about the good work he had set her, She rose to her knees, and removing her mask, cast an eloquent look upon him, then lowered her eyes meekly.
Yonge_The_Daisy_Chain_62190.09He saw nothing that reassured him, except the quietness of Norman's own face, but even that altered as their eyes met.
Reade_Foul_Play_76290.09To her father, she was always sweet and filial, but sadly cold compared with what she had always been hitherto.
Hawthorne_The_House_of_the_Seven_Gables_15410.09Was it, therefore, no momentary mood, but, however skilfully concealed, the settled temper of his life?
Evans_Infelice_25880.08She had bent so persistently over her book, that he closed and removed it beyond her reach, forcing her to regard him; for after the toil, contention, and brain-wrestling of the courtroom, it was his reward just now to look into her deep calm eyes, and watch the expressions vary in her untutored ingenuous countenance.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_115290.08The violent temper, so often found in combination with the weak nature, began to show itself in her rising color, and her lowering brow.
Wood_East_Lynne_43150.06"Very much so.
Werner_No_Surrender_Clean_26940.06"Why should I?
Reade_The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth_81050.06my mule!"
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol2_53420.06"If you think so--" "I do.
Harland_Alone_56560.06"But He does not.
Harland_Alone_5350.06But how to get it?
Collins_The_Moonstone_63350.06And I said, as if in a dream, "What does it mean?"
Collins_The_Moonstone_38980.06But it was not so.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_71960.06"Very well.
Auerbach_On_the_Heights_27110.06Do you see the outrider over there?
Alcott_Work_12590.06SEAMSTRESS.

Bronte_Jane_Eyre_34560.14cried Louisa, -- "so smooth -- none of those frowning irregularities I dislike so much; and such a placid eye and smile!"
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_9400.10At the utterance of Miss Temple's name, a soft smile flitted over her grave face.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_68560.10I cannot call them handsome -- they were too pale and grave for the word: as they each bent over a book, they looked thoughtful almost to severity.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_72500.09I felt a burning glow mount to my face; for bitter and agitating recollections were awakened by the allusion to marriage.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_15310.08I knew you would be: you will get on whether your relations notice you or not.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_27180.08"I knew," he continued, "you would do me good in some way, at some time; -- I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you: their expression and smile did not" -- (again he stopped) -- "did not" (he proceeded hastily) "strike delight to my very inmost heart so for nothing.

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_21640.20'l‘he expression of his face was gloomier and sterner than ever,—-at any other time F elicitas would have coldly turned away from him, but to-day she was the cause of his ill humor,—she had interrupted the physician’s profound, earnest studies with her singing, and had possibly broken up a new and most interesting train of ideas.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS_34950.13"I can still see his grave melancholy face as he told us of by-gone days.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS_16910.12This morning all sorts of thoughts have been chasing each other through my old brain—their meaning being that it is time to prepare for my going home, and among my preparations this book belongs in the red portfolio.

Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_32190.19What occupied him must have been sad indeed, for for the first time, she saw a look of unmistakable distress on his fine face, usually so composed and calm.
Wister_Marlitt_Gisela_7610.17She knew him well enough to see that, in spite of his admirable mask, he was terribly annoyed.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_23910.16At this moment Flora stood by the bed and thrust aside her young sister; her face, her whole attitude, expressed a sudden determination.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_11760.16cried Flora, sitting upright on the lounge and fixing her eyes with a strange, changeful expression upon her young sister’s face.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_39720.14You have had a sad time at Thalleben?"
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_51600.14Can you look your betrayed sister in the face and say ’No’?"
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_16720.14Flora had noted the glance.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_12130.13"That would be lively for the poor Dierkhof 1" she cried, and for the first time since my grandmother's death a faint smile hovered upon her lips. "
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_4640.13The grave decision in the young girl’s face and bearing showed that she was not dealing for the first time with a querulous and obstinate invalid.
Wister_Marlitt_Owls_8680.12She hurried on as fleet and light of foot as if she had had wings, looking down for a while at the sparkling brook beside her, which was carrying away the last snow-water from the mountains, and anon up into the clouds above her, while smiles from time to time replaced the earnest expression on her fair face.
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_27280.12There they sat as they drove away from Schbnwerth, personifications of happiness and evil, the rose-coloured, laughing princess, and the black- robed priest, with his pale face, that to-day wore only a gloomy smile in return for her lavish favour.
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_50580.12Liana turned from him with a smile of cold contempt and seized Mainau's hanff " You shall learn all later, Raoul ; I told you before to-day that I had sad revelations to make to you.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_9340.11He might easily have seen her displeasure in her face, but he continued to stare most insultingly.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_33150.11While Flora was speaking, the Frau President seemed to dilate with satisfaction.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_19990.10Kitty interrupted her, calmly and coldly, although her stern face had grown very pale.
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_4550.09Mamma," he said, gently, although his face was flushed with emotion, " you force me for the first time to assert myself as heir to Rudisdorf.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_37660.08"Ah, grandmamma, that was surely no glance of disapproval," Flora cried, as she watched suspiciously the changing colour on the doctor’s cheek.
Wister_Marlitt_Baliff_1250.08"Yes, yes, I am in earnest.
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_13650.08Liana looked down at him with a grave smile. "
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_23400.08And what does this sad nun’s face mean?"
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_15470.08Flora bit her lip.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_23870.07Reinhard assented, with a wry face.

Evans_Beulah_11330.26I have said he was about thirty, and though the handsome face was repellently cold and grave, it was difficult to believe that that smooth, fair brow had been for so many years uplifted for the handwriting of time.
Streckfuss_Castle_Hohenwald_Clean_11600.25Although he was the elder of the two, he looked much younger than Arno; his fresh-coloured, smooth-shaven face had a very youthful expression, while Arno's grave, earnest eyes made him appear older than he really was.
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_53840.23Colonel Jocyln looked grave, and downcast, and sad.
Hugo_Les_Miserables_30680.22On emerging from that black and deformed thing which is called the galleys, the Bishop had hurt his soul, as too vivid a light would have hurt his eyes on emerging from the dark.
Harland_Alone_82170.20Ida did not notice this, nor the sadness that tinged her guardian's fatherly look, as he smoothed her chestnut hair for a long time, musingly.
Wood_East_Lynne_90620.20Madam lifted her pale, sad face--a very sad and pale face was hers.
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol2_69100.20The voice recalled to my recollections what his features, altered by time and years, had failed to do.
Hawthorne_Marble_Faun_vol1_5380.20And you are sad again, very sad; and the picture gazes sadly forth at me, as if some evil had befallen it in the little time since I looked last."
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_5850.20Reuben Kent looked up, a sudden flash in his eye, a sudden redness in his face.

Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_36420.12For several minutes she sat perfectly motionless, save when the muscles of her mouth twitched convulsively, and when the hard, terrible look gave way--the spots began to fade--the color came back to her cheeks--the eyes resumed their wonted brilliancy--the fingers moved nervously, and Edith was herself.
Cooper_The_Spy_830.12The traveler had turned his face from one sister to the other, as they had spoken in succession, and an almost imperceptible movement of the muscles of his mouth betrayed a new emotion, as he playfully inquired of the younger,-- "May I venture to ask what inference you would draw from that fact?"

Hugo_Les_Miserables_33170.10The suburbs of Paris are no longer the same; the physiognomy of what may be called circumparisian life has changed completely in the last half-century; where there was the cuckoo, there is the railway car; where there was a tender-boat, there is now the steamboat; people speak of Fecamp nowadays as they spoke of Saint-Cloud in those days.

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_11750.10The child hid her face in terror of IIeinrich’s cross words, so that only her light curls could be seen,—and as the young girl stood there, a more charming picture of a Madonna could not be imagined.

Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_54060.10A charming glance ; it was almost childlike in its inno- cence, and yet I could not help thinking that the heart behind that simple demeanour was throbbing with anxiety, for I noticed that her cherry lips twitched nervously.

Evans_Vashti_1230.25A few months subsequent to this sudden accession of wealth, his meek and devoted wife--who had patiently shared all the trials and hardships of his early impecunious career, and brightened an humble home which boasted no treasure comparable to her loving, unselfish heart,--was summoned to the enjoyment of a heritage beyond the stars; and Daniel Grey, capitalist, found himself a florid handsome widower, with two children, Enoch and Jane, to remind him continually of the pale wife over whose quiet ashes rose a costly mausoleum, where rare exotics nodded to each other across gilded slab and sculptured angels.

Evans_St_Elmo_38360.17Hitherto duty had worn a smiling, loving countenance, and walked gently by her side as she crossed the flowery vales of girlhood; now, the guide was transformed into an angel of wrath, pointing with drawn sword to the gate of Eden.

Harland_At_Last_26780.13The novelty of the imperative tone and the glitter of his wife's eyes moved Mr. Dorrance to more prompt compliance than he would have adjudged to be dignified and husbandly in the case of another man.

Alcott_Work_12040.10Then, like a flash of light, the meaning of the sudden change which came over her grew clear,--her brave efforts to make the last day happy, her tender good-night partings, her wish to be at peace with every one, the tragic death she had chosen rather than live out the tragic life that lay before her.

Whitney_Faith_Gartneys_Girlhood_17140.07"But your first name?"

Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_170190.18Madame de Villefort had placed herself in the shadow behind a velvet curtain, and as she constantly bent over her child, it was difficult to read the expression of her face.

Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_135750.17Although M. de Villefort flattered himself that, to all outward view, he had completely masked the feelings which were passing in his mind, he did not know that the cloud was still lowering on his brow, so much so that the count, whose smile was radiant, immediately noticed his sombre and thoughtful air.

Roe_Jest_to_Earnest_54830.17Lottie's radiant face at supper, in contrast with her clouded one at dinner, again puzzled certain members of the household; and De Forrest, to his disgust, learned that while he slept she had again been with Hemstead.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol4_33320.16By degrees, however, a haughty indignation succeeded to the cruel anxiety which had contracted the features of Madame de Lucenay.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol6_40770.15At eight o'clock in the evening Fleur-de-Marie knelt and prayed until midnight, but, overpowered by her emotion and the intense cold, she fainted; two nuns instantly raised her, and bore her to her cell.

Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol4_40420.14"Yes, Mont Saint-Jean; I am attending to you," replied Fleur-de-Marie, stooping her lovely face towards the hideous countenance of her companion.
Cooper_The_Pilot_28390.14Manual followed the direction of his eyes, and watched the expression of his countenance with inward exultation; but he had the forbearance to await his reply before he manifested his feeling more openly.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol3_46590.14As she spoke, Fleur-de-Marie's countenance became radiant, and her pale cheeks suffused with a delicate carnation; her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she appeared so touchingly beautiful that La Louve gazed on her with respectful admiration, and said: "Where am I?
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol1_76970.14As she turned towards the table, I saw the pale, almost deathlike features of Marie de Meudon.

Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_12420.12He stifled, therefore, the feelings of compassion that were rising, composed his features, and sat down, grim and sombre, at his desk.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol4_42500.12"Yes," stammered poor Fleur-de-Marie, blushing up to her eyes with shame and confusion; "I was going--I mean I have just been seeing some one, and, of course, am now returning home."

Stowe_Uncle_Toms_Cabin_93630.11The hunt was long, animated, and thorough, but unsuccessful; and, with grave, ironic exultation, Cassy looked down on Legree, as, weary and dispirited, he alighted from his horse.

Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_151240.10cried Villefort; "how is it that it has escaped from the depths of the tomb and the recesses of our hearts, where it was buried, to visit us now, like a phantom, whitening our cheeks and flushing our brows with shame?"
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol2_33670.10The nearer the day fixed for our marriage approached, the more delighted did M. d'Harville appear.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_176510.09de Cardoville, on a sudden, as she rose, all her features contracted with painful anger.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_9490.09And yet his despatch was not so great as usual, for in spite of himself his eyes were continually wandering to the large show-windows, from which smiled down upon him summer landscapes, and lovely faces that seemed all the more beautiful in contrast with the bleak and darkening street.

Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_43880.19Edmond gazed very earnestly at the mass of rocks which gave out all the variety of twilight colors, from the brightest pink to the deepest blue; and from time to time his cheeks flushed, his brow darkened, and a mist passed over his eyes.

Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_287870.18As he entered that virgin sanctuary, his countenance was pretty calm, so well did he control his feelings, only a slight paleness tarnished the brilliant amber of his complexion.

Cooper_The_Spy_19980.17Her natural bloom was heightened by the insinuation of the surgeon, nor was the luster of her eye in any degree diminished.

Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_43820.15Edmond resigned the lugger to the master's care, and went and lay down in his hammock; but, in spite of a sleepless night, he could not close his eyes for a moment.
Collins_Armadale_58890.14She hesitated with a heightened color and a charming smile, and shook her head.
Braddon_Lady_Audleys_Secret_30510.14Niobe's face, sublimated by sorrow, could scarcely have been more purely classical than hers.
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_17250.14Her heightened color and quickened breathing were alarming, while the contraction of her brow and the firmness of her lips, together with an intent look on the chestnut in the centre of the burr, rather than a languishing look at him or at nothing, were more assuring.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_7130.13They seemed to his morbid fancy hungry and cold, and their famine-pinched faces full of reproach.
Cooper_The_Pilot_14360.13echoed Katherine, a deadly paleness chasing from her cheeks the bloom which indignation had heightened.
Cooper_The_Pilot_2220.13"I thank you, thank you, Barnstable, but distrust my abilities to fill such a station," she said, laughing, though the color that again crossed her youthful features was like the glow of a summer's sunset, and even her mirthful eyes seemed to reflect their tints.
Reade_A_Terrible_Temptation_44130.12With this lack-luster gaze, and in the tone of thoughtful soliloquy, he said, "Has Sir Charles Bassett no eyes?
Broughton_Nancy_64440.12Small sympathy and smaller joy is there in it now--it wears only a lantern-jawed, lack-lustre despondency.

Whitney_Real_Folks_12750.11Frank remembered loyally her old brown sofa and chairs; she would not have gay colors to put them out of countenance; for even if she re-covered them, she said they should have the same old homey complexion.

Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol2_47590.10With glazed, lack-lustre eye, and cheek leaden and quivering, he gazed around on the fiendish countenances like one awakening from a dream, his lips parted as though to speak; but no sound came forth.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol3_32980.09"I cannot get over it, sir; I never saw you in such spirits,--so lively; and then you, who are usually so pale, have got such a colour, and your eyes sparkle."

Collins_Armadale_44960.09Nothing but the mounting color in his bulbous nose betrayed the sense of injury that animated him as he withdrew.
Cooper_The_Pilot_40020.08Katherine moved to and fro in the apartment, with feverish anxiety, while Miss Howard, by concealing her countenance under the ringlets of her luxuriant dark hair, and shading her eyes with a fair hand, seemed to be willing to commune with her thoughts more quietly.
Aguilar_Home_Influence_24140.08"He says there is something singularly interesting in watching the countenances and movements of children, and in tracing the dawnings of respective characters."

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_42580.11And there stood the Profess<;r—he did not speak—but his gaze rested uninterruptedly upon the pale face of the girl who was again called uponto suffer so cruelly for the sake of her ‘idolized’ mother.

Wister_Marlitt_Gisela_6000.14The Minister started as though he had received a blow upon his livid check, but his wife turned towards the speaker with an expression of profound indignation upon her beautiful face,—" Do you imagine, sir, that the Baroness Fleury could bring herself to deceive the world with a single false jewel ?"

Wister_Marlitt_Gisela_5890.12The pale face, which had just been so compassionately alluded to, was flushed, and the brown eyes regarded the false, pitiable actress with a look full of contempt.
Wister_Marlitt_Rubies_4380.12As he spoke she turned from him completely, and stood biting her under lip. "
Wister_Marlitt_Baliff_3250.12And a flash of fun lit up his fine face for an instant. "
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_3050.12Meanwhile, Henriette turned a face of anger and scorn towards her grandmother.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_36900.11Or does Flora think that the tears you bring to our eyes start entirely out of conventional politeness?"
Wister_Marlitt_Rubies_5090.10"Not exactly; but I cannot help thinking of ‘the envy of the gods.’ So let the ill-omened crimson sparks rest in peace for the future."
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_18880.10My frightened face, and still more, the gesture that I made, caused a contemptuous smile upon the face of the young man. "
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_22630.10He leaned far across the window-sill, and looked full into her face, as though to read the answer upon her lips; but she turned away with irritation.
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_28830.10The young wife had not left her place by the window ; with her hand resting on the sill, and her lovely profile turned to- wards him, she stood there lost in thought, the tender curve cf her lips betokening no struggle within.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_32510.09When she turned round, the doctor was still standing where she had left him, but his gaze was directed towards the bridge, and he had grown slightly pale.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_13630.09Elizabeth immediately did as she desired, and when the daylight streamed in upon the pale face of the invalid, it revealed traces of violent weeping.
Wister_Marlitt_Gisela_8560.08I can only say, once more, ‘Flee, Countess, flee l’ " She turned round and looked firmly, but with a heartpiercing gaze, into the face of the man from whom came this pitiless voice of warning.

Bronte_Shirley_18840.17Nature, however, as has been intimated, is an excellent friend in such cases, sealing the lips, interdicting utterance, commanding a placid dissimulation--a dissimulation often wearing an easy and gay mien at first, settling down to sorrow and paleness in time, then passing away, and leaving a convenient stoicism, not the less fortifying because it is half-bitter.
Evans_Beulah_6730.16A marvelous change came over the wan face of the nurse as she paused at the marble steps, guarded on either side by sculptured lions.
Evans_Beulah_27400.16The colorless face seemed as if chiseled out of ivory, and stern gravity, blended with bitterness, was enthroned on the lofty, unfurrowed brow.
Evans_Beulah_101530.16As she turned her steps homeward a shadowy smile stole over her features, and the lines about her mouth resumed their wonted composure.
Sheppard_Charles_Auchester_vol2_38390.15Our party were as if lost to me; as I hid my face my companion did not disturb me,--she was too far herself in my own case.

Werner_No_Surrender_Clean_30840.14"I have already told my sister-in-law that I have no objection to offer," said the Baron, whose lips twitched, as though he were enduring an inward martyrdom, albeit his voice retained its wonted calm.
Wister_Schillingscourt_8140.14She did not see him again, nor did she wish to, for she was not sure that she could retain her composure and selfcontrol confronted with those honest, searching blue eyes.

Evans_St_Elmo_70960.13A shadow drifted slowly over the marble face, and though it settled on no feature, the whole countenance was changed.
Howells_A_Forgone_Conclusion_26760.13He smiled now to think of confronting Florida in any imperative or challenging spirit; but the current of his hopeless melancholy turned more and more towards her.
Harland_Jessamine_4760.12Roy could not preserve his gravity.
Wood_East_Lynne_135550.12A derisive smile crossed his features at parts of the evidence, as much as to say, "You may convict me as to Mademoiselle Afy, but you can't as to the murder."
Ingelow_Fated_to_be_Free_9430.12If scorn, or anger, or incredulity had confronted her, she would have held to her intentions; but this alarm and grief at least had the merit of allowing all importance to the affair, and consequently to her.
Evans_Beulah_5810.12Mrs. Martin rustled out of the room, leaving Annie to scowl ominously at the new nurse, and vent her spleen by boxing her doll, because the inanimate little lady would not keep her blue-bead eyes open.
Warner_Wide_Wide_World_80940.12"Only not eat me," said John, with a shade of expression in his look and tone which overcame the whole party, himself and poor William alone retaining entire gravity.
Porter_Scottish_Chiefs_102020.12Wallace changed color at these suggestions, but merely replied: "A few hours will decide your suspicion, for I shall lose no time in confronting my accuser."
Collins_Woman_in_White_88960.11"No," says he, "nothing; she must have suffered sadly before ever I saw her--the case was hopeless when I was called in."
Aguilar_The_Days_of_Bruce_3570.11All appearance of gravity vanished from his features as he spoke.
Werner_No_Surrender_Clean_2340.10A strange look flitted across George's features, a look which seemed to say he was of a different opinion as to the "privilege."
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_43270.10Why should deep discouragement change suddenly to assured hope?
Reade_White_Lies_49320.10Rose composed her features into a settled gravity, and went to meet her.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_11670.10His expression preserved an immovable composure wonderful to behold.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_24350.10At the name of General Simon, a cloud passed over the features of Rodin's master.

Collins_Armadale_169770.10As her eyes rested on him, a strange composure settled slowly on her face.
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_11180.09No; my pride is to see the accused pale, agitated, and as though beaten out of all composure by the fire of my eloquence."
Bronte_Shirley_34020.09Well might she be corpse-like; well might she look grim, and never smile; well might she wish to avoid excitement, to gain and retain composure!
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol1_31010.09But another vision stood forth to confront the darkened one of the Viscount, and the contrast heightened the lustre of the former.
Roe_What_Can_She_Do_1500.09So, glancing from one eager face to another (for between the wine and the excitement even Mrs. Allen was no longer a colorless, languid creature, ready to faint at the embrace of her child), he said with a twinkle in his eye-- "Well, go to your mother about the party.
Cummins_The_Lamplighter_54960.09He turned to reply, and this time the reproachful look of his features was visible to Gertrude as he said, with earnestness, "Certainly; can you doubt it?"
Cooper_The_Pioneers_48810.09asked Judge Temple, facing the agitated youth, his features settled to their usual composure.
Warner_Queechy_142880.08The slight eyebrow sat with its wonted calm purity of outline just where it used; the eyelid fell as quietly; the forehead above it was as unruffled; and if the mouth had a subdued gravity that it had taken years to teach, it had neither lost any of the sweetness nor any of the simplicity of childhood.
Harland_Jessamine_51680.08They sustained the scrutiny without quailing, a glint of roguish defiance playing within them, and her lips curling at the corners, as she turned away.
Evans_Vashti_39720.08With one long, anxious, tender look into her hopeless yet beautiful face, he left the room and went in search of Robert and Katie.
Evans_Beulah_80460.08Her whole face told of years of bitterness, and a grim defiance of death, which sent a shudder through Beulah, as she listened to the panting breath.

The_Eichhofs_Clean_2390.07"You don't mean that?"
Sheppard_Charles_Auchester_vol2_40200.07Yes!
Reade_Foul_Play_35320.07But them I don't ask, so nigh the Line.

Bronte_Jane_Eyre_30960.17She had, likewise, a fierce and a hard eye: it reminded me of Mrs. Reed's; she mouthed her words in speaking; her voice was deep, its inflections very pompous, very dogmatical, -- very intolerable, in short.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_38360.11He spoke cheerfully: the gay tones set my heart at ease.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_75270.08-- But where am I wandering, and what am I saying, and above all, feeling?
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_3620.08who knows what may happen?"

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_10970.11she exclaimed hastily, with displeasure, terror, and grief all expressed in the tones of her voice.

Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_53470.10My fleeing timidly at sight of him, my drooping eyelids when he spoke to me, my silence in his presence, all produced no effect; he continued to speak to me in the same familiar tone he had once adopted, and his clear brow was unclouded.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_46150.09The forester did not speak, he shunned the sympathetic glances of the by-standers; anger and pain strove for the mastery in his features.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_30550.09Henriette’s face fairly shone with the happiness she dared not speak in words: rest and silence had been prescribed for her.
Wister_Marlitt_Gisela_1580.07interposed the overseer, and his face grew dark.

Alcott_Work_1040.28Christie's voice faltered over the last words, for the thoughts and feelings which had been working within her during the last few days had stirred her deeply, and the resolution to cut loose from the old life had not been lightly made.
DeMille_The_Cryptogram_6980.24It was the voice of suffering and sorrow too deep for tears--that changeless monotone which makes one think that the words which are spoken are uttered by some machine.

Alcott_Work_2430.22As she uttered the last words, a sudden light chased the tragic shadow from Hepsey's face, and the solemn fervor of her voice thrilled Christie's heart.
Alcott_Work_7970.21He got no further, for Christie rose straight up and answered him with all the indignation she felt burning in her face and stirring the voice she tried in vain to keep as steady as his own.
Alcott_Little_Women_70030.20The pleasant curves about his mouth were the memorials of many friendly words and cheery laughs, his eyes were never cold or hard, and his big hand had a warm, strong grasp that was more expressive than words.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_92340.19He was reassured, too, by his bright smile, and the strength of his voice, as he spoke a few playful words of welcome and congratulation.

Reade_It_is_Never_Too_Late_to_Mend_5870.19George did not speak at first, he literally staggered under these words; his proud spirit writhed in his countenance, and with a groan, he turned his back abruptly upon them all and hid his face against the corner of his own house, the cold hard bricks.
Alcott_Work_960.18I don't suppose I can make you understand my feeling, but I'd like to try, and then I'll never speak of it again;" and, carefully controlling voice and face, Christie slowly added, with a look that would have been pathetically eloquent to one who could have understood the instincts of a strong nature for light and freedom: "You say I am discontented, proud and ambitious; that's true, and I'm glad of it.
Kingsley_Westward_Ho_56310.18This is a sterner matter than either of you fancy it to be; one that must be worked out, not with kind words, but with sharp shot and cold steel."
Evans_St_Elmo_26760.18Her face was stern and pale; she walked up to the orphan, looked at her suspiciously, and when she spoke her voice was hard and cold.
Wood_East_Lynne_27240.18she uttered, in a tone of joyful surprise, "show him in."
Holmes_Tempest_and_Sunshine_49300.18He showed it in everything, in the expression of his face and in the words he uttered.
Holmes_Elsie_Venner_46640.18Indeed, he scarcely let her say a word, at first; for he saw that it was hard for her to conceal her emotion.

Prentiss_Stepping_Heavenward_33830.17You are young and in the bloom of life, but when death seemed staring you in the face, you expressed no anxiety, asked for no counsel, showed no alarm.

Blackmore_Lorna_Doone_19690.17She gazed at me in earnest so, and raised her voice in saying it, until the whole valley, curving like a great bell echoed "Doone," that it seemed to me my heart was gone for every one and everything.
Alcott_Work_30260.17As she finished she looked up at him; and, though his face was perfectly grave, his eyes laughed, and with a sudden conviction of the truth, Christie exclaimed!
Alcott_Little_Women_51550.17It is the shadow of pain which touches the young face with such pathetic patience, but Beth seldom complains and always speaks hopefully of `being better soon'.
Porter_Scottish_Chiefs_70800.17As she spoke, her beautiful lip quivered, but her voice was steady.
DeMille_The_Cryptogram_7990.17As he spoke she again looked at Guy, with a vindictive expression, but did not deign to speak.
Collins_Woman_in_White_32170.17There was too much colour in her cheeks, too much energy in her manner, too much firmness in her voice.
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol1_20470.17He raised his voice once more at these words with such significance that I resolved to profit by the counsel if the lucky moment should offer.--I had not long to wait.

Cooper_The_Spy_22260.17This argument, which is thought by most of the colonel's countrymen a triumphant answer to a thousand eloquent facts, lost none of its weight by the manner in which it was uttered.
Cooper_Pathfinder_28490.17It was too dark for Mabel to note the workings of the countenance of her listener; but her own sweet face was turned towards him, as she spoke with an energy equal to her frankness, in a way to show how little embarrassed were her thoughts, and how sincere were her words.
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_47980.16She never once faltered, she never spoke nor stirred; but her face was whiter than her dress, and her great dark eyes dilated with a horror too intense for words.
Collins_Woman_in_White_34060.16He spoke with such warmth and feeling, with such passionate enthusiasm, and yet with such perfect delicacy, that she raised her head, flushed up a little, and looked at him with sudden animation and spirit.
Alcott_Work_29340.16The blue eyes grew shy, the pretty face grew eloquent with blushes now and then, as he looked at it, and the lively tongue faltered sometimes in speaking to him.
Wood_East_Lynne_109980.16Now this answer /was/ given in mockery; his tone and manner were redolent of it, insolently so.
Werner_No_Surrender_Clean_2830.16George was silent, setting his lips tightly as though to keep down some bitter feeling.
Roe_What_Can_She_Do_13410.16I've set my heart upon it," and in his earnestness, tears gathered in his eyes.
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_59640.16I know how kind and well-meant your words are, but they are mockery to me;" and he turned his face to the wall.

DeMille_The_Cryptogram_73200.16What was the reason why he never ventured to utter in words that which had so often been expressed in his eloquent face?
Collins_No_Name_61400.16She looked hard for information in the housekeeper's face while she spoke those conciliatory words.

Blackmore_Lorna_Doone_26970.16Here he turned up his eyes to heaven, in a manner that made me feel for him and yet with a kind of wonder.
Alcott_Work_30340.16Christie spoke out fervently, and for an instant her heart shone in her face.
Reade_White_Lies_89480.15And with these words, in speaking which his voice had recovered its iron firmness, he strode out at the door, superb in manhood and principle, and every eye turned with wonder and admiration after him.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_154560.15The yellow clay-cold color of her face showed a faint flush of warmth; its deathlike stillness was stirred by a touch of life.

Cervantes_Don_Quixote_61420.22Turn, O miserable, hard-hearted animal, turn, I say, those timorous owl's eyes upon these of mine that are compared to radiant stars, and thou wilt see them weeping trickling streams and rills, and tracing furrows, tracks, and paths over the fair fields of my cheeks.
Cooper_The_Water-Witch_55150.19"Comfort whom, where, and what thou wilt, miserable effigy of manhood!--but hold, there is less of terror than of artifice in that lurking smile and treacherous eye!"
Roe_What_Can_She_Do_1590.18The face of Edith, with dazzling complexion all aglow, and large dark eyes lustrous with excitement, was more eloquent than words could have been, and the bon vivant drank in her expression with as much zest as he sipped his wine.
Evans_St_Elmo_38370.17As the girl's light fingers locked themselves tightly, her beautiful lips uttered mournfully: "What hast thou done, O soul of mine That thou tremblest so?

Blackmore_Lorna_Doone_25170.10And at this moment a starving one, and no supper for me unless thou wilt read."

Evans_St_Elmo_9640.09For nearly fifteen dreary years, nothing but jeers and oaths and sarcasms had crossed his finely sculptured lips, which had forgotten how to smile; and it was only when the mocking demon of the wine-cup looked out from his gloomy gray eyes that his ringing, sneering laugh struck like a dagger to the heart that loved him, that of his proud but anxious and miserable mother.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_50800.08Victor shot a quick, nervous glance at his master, who without the slightest tremor in his voice, told her that he had of late been troubled with weak eyes, and as the dust and sunlight made them worse, he had been advised to wear it while traveling as a protection.

Cervantes_Don_Quixote_82530.06"Ought!"

Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol4_55710.15The precipitation of the Chouette's step, the fierce throbbings of a fever of rapine and murder which still animated her, had suffused her hideous features with a deep purple, whilst her green eye sparkled with savage joy.

Fleming_Norines_Revenge_24250.08Norine took a step forward, her face flushing, her eyes kindling with eager hope, her breath coming quick.
Whitney_The_Other_Girls_29740.06"May be.
Warner_Queechy_32910.06"Well?--you can?"
Reade_A_Terrible_Temptation_40280.06no!
Prentiss_Stepping_Heavenward_52780.06"I would, I certainly would," I said.
Howells_Their_Wedding_Journey_11740.06Are you crazy?"
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_43190.06I knew him well.
Evans_Beulah_54240.06Does it never waver?"
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_73260.06"Oh, he is always as colorless as you now see him," said Franz.
Cummins_The_Lamplighter_24660.06"Why!
Braddon_Lady_Audleys_Secret_41420.06"Yes.

Bronte_Jane_Eyre_76190.22As she patted the dog's head, bending with native grace before his young and austere master, I saw a glow rise to that master's face.

Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_14500.09"—she shivered,—"there is too much marble beneath my feet; and Moritz has become so frightfully distinguished,"—two roguish dimples appeared in her cheeks,—"I am positively startled and mortified at the sight of my simple undecorated visiting-card.

Hillern_Only_a_Girl_34090.22Angelika shook her fair curls and said, in a tone which told all the sweetness of her childlike disposition, "No, Moritz, you were right."
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_19390.21The minister bowed his head, and while a deep color overspread his cheeks, he stammered out,-- "By the telegraph, sire."
Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_51620.18At that moment little Musjid let fall a valuable coffee-tray, inlaid with amber; his master, with muttered apology, hastened to the scene of the accident; the noise startled Cecil, and his eyes unclosed to all the dreamy, fantastic colors of the place, and met those bent on him in musing pity--saw that lustrous, haughty, delicate head bending slightly down through the many-colored shadows.
Broughton_Nancy_1630.17If father unbutton his eyes, or move his head one barley-corn, we are all dead men.
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_19450.17The minister bowed his head, and while a deep color overspread his cheeks, he stammered out, -- "By the telegraph, sire."
Cooper_The_Pioneers_51390.17Among the captives were the guilty, downcast countenances of the counterfeiters, and the simple but honest features of the Leather-Stocking.
Hillern_Only_a_Girl_69020.17"Oh," said Angelika, with a charming smile and a roguish glance at Moritz out of her large innocent eyes, "we cannot do without them, these stern lords of creation,--at least I could not live without Moritz, if I were ever so rich and wise."
Howells_Their_Wedding_Journey_20030.16There were only two men among some eight or ten women; one of the former had a bad amiable face, with eyes full of a merry deviltry; the other, clean.
Macdonald_Alec_Forbes_74290.15Then with a slow shake of the head, and a full-blown smile on his rugged face, he said: "Ye're a curious cratur', Annie.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_3870.15Bustle only looked wistfully at his master, and moved nothing but his feather of a tail.
Cooper_The_Pioneers_20260.15"No, no, Major," returned the hunter, with a melancholy shake of the head, "I have lived to see what I thought eyes could never behold in these hills, and I have no heart left for singing.
Cooper_The_Pioneers_53710.15The steward paused, and turning his uncouth visage on the hunter, he surveyed him with a roguish leer of his eye, and gradually suffered the muscles of his hard features to relax, until his face was illuminated by the display of his white teeth, when he dropped his voice, and added; "I say, Master Leather-Stocking, 'tis fresher and livelier than any Hollands you'll get in Garnsey.
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_70800.14The Brandon Bank, John Potts, President, had one day risen suddenly before the eyes of the astonished county and filled all men with curious speculations.
Hardy_Far_From_the_Madding_Crowd_16780.13The low though extensive hall, supported by beams and pillars, and latterly dignified by the name of Corn Exchange, was thronged with hot men who talked among each other in twos and threes, the speaker of the minute looking sideways into his auditor's face and concentrating his argument by a contraction of one eyelid during delivery.
Macdonald_St._George_and_St._Michael_36790.13But in a minute more came the gathering noise of returning footsteps, and presently Lady's head appeared over the crown of the bridge; then rose Eccles, leading her in grim silence; and next came Richard, pale and bleeding, betwixt two men, each holding him by an arm; the rest of the guard crowded behind.
Cooper_The_Pioneers_66850.12The Leather-Stocking started at the sound of his own name, and a smile of joy illuminated his wrinkled features, as he said: "And did ye say It, lad?
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_111780.11Even Ali, who had hastened to obey the Count's summons, went forth from his master's presence in charmed amazement at the unusual animation and pleasure depicted on features ordinarily so stern and cold; while, as though dreading to put to flight the agreeable ideas hovering over his patron's meditations, whatever they were, the faithful Nubian walked on tiptoe towards the door, holding his breath, lest its faintest sound should dissipate his master's happy reverie.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_60510.11She flushed angrily and said: "It was most unjust to discharge him as you did.
DeMille_The_Cryptogram_67680.11Her eyes fell--that was all; and as she bowed her head silently, by that simple gesture which was at once natural and courteous, she effectually concealed her face; so that, even if there had been a change in its expression, it could not have been seen.
Roe_Jest_to_Earnest_17230.10"It's too bad," said Lottie, pathetically, but with a swift comical glance at the others.
Lewald_Hulda_34350.10The curate could not know how she bad wavered, bow she had fallen on her kneea and wildly pressed the box to her lips for the last time, but in her pale face he read the conflict through which she had passed. "
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_71620.09"You must be one of the largest houses in London," said Potts, in a tone of deep admiration.
Collins_The_Moonstone_11330.09She looked you straight in the face, and shook her little saucy head, and said plainly, "I won't tell you!"
Warner_Wide_Wide_World_150720.09With bitter tears Ellen mingled as eager prayers for forgiveness and help to be faithful.
Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_90000.09And yet, try how she would, she could not shake off the spell under which those grave, sweet, lustrous eyes of command held her.
Blackmore_Lorna_Doone_75620.08Bright indeed they still were, but with a slow unhealthy lustre; their keenness was turned to perpetual outlook, their restlessness to a haggard want.
Cooper_Pathfinder_69720.07The Sergeant's face gleamed with a smile, for he _did_ remember to have discharged that portion at least of the paternal duty, and the consciousness of it gave him inconceivable gratification at that solemn moment.
Warner_Queechy_22230.06"Wherever you please."
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol5_570.06"I'm a-going to tell you.
Reade_Foul_Play_6210.06"What, still harping on _her?

Hugo_Les_Miserables_194410.06"What!
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_80200.06"Yes."
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_122480.06"There is still something else," said he.
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_28890.06"Singly!

Bronte_Jane_Eyre_7540.12I heard the name of Mr. Brocklehurst pronounced by some lips; at which Miss Miller shook her head disapprovingly; but she made no great effort to cheek the general wrath; doubtless she shared in it.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_66840.06Quite as many as there was employment for."

Wister_Marlitt_Gisela_7020.12Was it not disgraceful for her with her pale face, her ignorance and awkward manner, to be envious, vilely envious of that lovely, admired rose?
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_1780.11The Professor made a wry face. "
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_31590.11It is the deadliest, the most passionless objectivity that makes you my master."

Braddon_Lady_Audleys_Secret_26610.22Master Talboys made a wry face.
Roe_Jest_to_Earnest_26230.19But the satirical side-gleam from her eyes, as she watched him, was anything but responsive or conducive to sentiment; and finally, as she became satisfied of his object, the smile that flitted across her face would have quenched the most impetuous declaration as effectually as a mill-pond might quench a meteor.
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_56820.19"Well, Seymour, that's not our affair," said Gregory, pale and faint from his effort at self-control.
Cooper_The_Spy_18710.17Miss Peyton rose and beckoned her nieces to give her their assistance in the adjoining pantry, while for a moment the dark visage of the attentive Lawton was lighted by an animation that vanished by an effort, as powerful and as sudden, as the one that drew it into being.
Macdonald_Alec_Forbes_17470.17The master's wrath, ready enough to rise against boys and all their works, now showed itself in the growing redness of his face.
Cooper_Last_of_the_Mohicans_16740.16Cora beckoned him away, with an emotion of disgust she could not control.
Wister_Schillingscourt_11080.15His face was beaming, and he suppressed with difficulty a sly grin.
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_34510.15At length a slight color tinged the livid cheeks, consciousness returned to the dull, open eyeballs, a faint sigh issued from the lips, and the sufferer made a feeble effort to move.
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_34630.15At length a slight color tinged the livid cheeks, consciousness returned to the dull, open eyeballs, a faint sigh issued from the lips, and the sufferer made a feeble effort to move.
Streckfuss_Castle_Hohenwald_Clean_22040.15Heinrich made a wry face at this, but there was no help for it, and he offered us his brotherly congratulations.
Heimburg_A_Sisters_Love_Clean_31210.15She raised her head and looked searchingly at me, and saw that I was making a great effort to compose myself.
Heimburg_A_Sisters_Love_Clean_41470.14The faithful old soul felt with us the pain that every question gave; only by an effort could she suppress her tears, and as she passed me she said, in a hasty whisper: 'I truly believe the end of the world is coming!'
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_73090.14Philips saw his eyes this time, no longer stern and wrathful, but benignant and indulgent.
Collins_The_Law_and_the_Lady_45020.14She controlled the rising regret, and turned on me suddenly, almost fiercely, with these words: "What, in God's name, do you mean to do?"
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_30650.13Does a dingy hotel parlor rise before him, the rain beating on the windows, and a pale, wistful face look up at him, while a mockery of this solemn rite is being gabbled through by a tipsy actor?
Collins_Armadale_79350.13said Neelie, in a voice that faltered a little, and with a face which was hardly composed enough to be in perfect harmony with a declaration of indifference.
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_79230.13"Who is that, watching our mills?"
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol2_45060.13Picton paused for a moment, while, with an effort, he controlled his features into their stern and impassive expression, then added hurriedly and almost harshly:-- Yes, sir; badly wounded through the arm and in the lung.
Evans_Beulah_63390.12Rising, she held out her hand for it; but the keen eyes had fallen upon a paragraph which seemed to interest the editor, and, knitting his brows, he said reluctantly: "We have not been in the habit of paying for our articles; but I will look over this, and perhaps you can make it worth our while to pay you.
Holmes_The_English_Orphans_30720.12said Henry, hardly able to control his wrath.
Evans_Beulah_64970.12She rose, with a suppressed sigh.
Alcott_Work_26820.12Mr. Power beckoned to her; saying, as she came and stood before him, flushed and kindled with her efforts: "Now, you must give me a bit from the 'Merchant of Venice.'
Porter_Thaddeus_of_Warsaw_58460.12Mary sat in mute dejection, watching the agitation of his features; and when he rose to quit the room, still in silence, she looked wistfully towards him.

Reade_Love_Me_Little_Love_Me_Long_11710.11"Yes, he has; I made him" (with a glance of defiance at Talboys).
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol6_15450.11At these words, the pupils made way with equal haste and respectful admiration when they saw Clémence's lovely face, which was radiant with so much emotion.
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol1_26220.11All his efforts to seem calm and at ease were for the moment unavailing, and he shrank from the proud and flashing eye of the felon, as though he were the guilty one in the presence of his accuser.
Reade_A_Terrible_Temptation_47660.11Sir Charles made a wry face.
Ingelow_Fated_to_be_Free_43620.11"I will take Mr. Mortimer to her," said Justina, rising serenely.
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_53410.11A ray of joy passed across M. de Boville's countenance, yet he made an effort at self-control, and said, -- "Sir, I ought to tell you that, in all probability, you will not realize six per cent of this sum."
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol6_37460.10"Yes, indeed, dearest," said Clémence; "and I am deeply touched at their remembrance."
Harland_Alone_69620.10"Your being _devote_ does not make you sad, morose--_comme a l'ordinaire_."
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_132300.10Noirtier made such an effort that his lips expanded into a smile.
Collins_The_New_Magdalen_41070.10"Only let me meet her face to face" (she had said), "and I will make her confess herself the impostor that she is!"
Harland_Jessamine_42430.10Meantime, the doctor had, in his odd fashion, slipped his hand under the young wife's chin, and raised to the light a strangely agitated face--eyes swimming in tears, forehead slightly puckered with the effort after self-control, and little eddies of smiles breaking up around the mouth.
Harland_Alone_60210.10They were sweet company; she could only watch, and pet, and talk to them the rest of the day.
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_113040.10Around the neck was a faint, bluish line, a mark like what might have been made by a cord.
Alcott_Little_Women_10440.10And Laurie poked the fire to hide a little twitching of the lips that he could not control.
Evans_Vashti_44500.10That composed, frigid Salome, watching him from across the corpse and coffin, seemed a mere chill shadow of the fiery, impetuous, radiant girl, whose passionate waywardness had so often annoyed and grieved him.
The_Alpine_Fay_Clean_36290.09It sounded odd, the word 'endured,' and its significance was not softened by so much as the shadow of a smile.
Howells_Their_Wedding_Journey_19940.09Cold, and pale, and sweet,--was it indeed only a flower, this cloistered rose of the Hotel Dieu?
Hawthorne_The_House_of_the_Seven_Gables_18080.09That gray hair, and those furrows, --with their record of infinite sorrow so deeply written across his brow, and so compressed, as with a futile effort to crowd in all the tale, that the whole inscription was made illegible, --these, for the moment, vanished.
Streckfuss_Castle_Hohenwald_Clean_1600.09He was, as was evident from his flashing eyes and his dark frown, controlling himself with difficulty, and the Assessor was very much embarrassed.
Reade_Put_Yourself_in_His_Place_51360.08Grotait's cheek reddened with anger at this rebuff, and it cost him an effort to retain his friendly intentions.
Yonge_The_Daisy_Chain_71970.06"Oh!
Warren_Ten_Thousand_a_Year_50500.06Then are ours no more than watching briefs.
Trollope_Orley_Farm_51350.06How he wished that he could!
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_48550.06May we have many more such."
Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_67700.06"Tiens!"
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_17210.06"Wherefore?"

Bronte_Jane_Eyre_44680.13The 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.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_27250.07"I am cold, sir."

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_6560.10Wild and defiant as was the mood which had possessed the child since the previous evening, her terror of that unmoved, cruel voice, and those stern, cold eyes, was stronger still.

Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_42050.13Was this man, with the stern, erect head, and the pale, cold brow, the same who had bent over her, saying with such unutterable gentleness,—"may my good angel whisper in your ear the word that will unlock that fairy realm for me?"

Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol1_12910.23Yet those haughty features expelled this thought as soon as it arose.
Evans_Beulah_31760.21The mouth seems as if the sculptor's chisel had just carved it--so stern, so stony.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol6_40460.20Renounce this austere life, dwell again with us, and our tenderness shall soften your grief."
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_70010.20It was beautiful to see the features once so cold and haughty, now sweet with more than womanly tenderness.
Harris_Rutledge_600.20But this was so rare that it could hardly be called a characteristic of his habitually cold stern face.
Evans_Inez_1920.20The haughty features seemed chiseled in marble, so cold, stony was the expression.
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_21790.20In her presence Brandon softened; the sternness of his features relaxed, and the great purpose of his life grew gradually fainter.
Wister_Schillingscourt_2320.19" ‘ For centuries’ we have given away six loaves to the poor weekly, whether the wheat-crop were plentiful or not," she rejoined, without altering a muscle of her stern face.
Evans_Inez_10810.19Florence seemed suddenly frozen, so rigid was her countenance, as she gazed on the cold form before her.
Hawthorne_Scarlet_Letter_4050.19Even yet, though my thoughts were ultimately much absorbed in the task, it wears, to my eye, a stern and sombre aspect: too much ungladdened by genial sunshine; too little relieved by the tender and familiar influences which soften almost every scene of nature and real life, and undoubtedly should soften every picture of them.
DeMille_The_Cryptogram_83710.18As he sat there the sternness of Lord Chetwynde's features relaxed, the eyes softened into love and pity, the hard lines about the month died away.

Evans_Infelice_17220.18Over his cold face swept a marvellous change, strangely softening its outlines and expression.
Reade_White_Lies_12260.18Could one of the dog-days change to mid-winter in a second, it would hardly seem so cold and cross as Rose de Beaurepaire turned from the smiling, saucy fairy of the moment before.
Lawrence_Guy_Livingstone_19280.18She looked so bright and joyous, and the light from her face seemed reflected on Guy's dark features, softening their stern outline, and making them radiant with a proud happiness.
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol1_5670.17He was standing high in his stirrups, and as he looked towards the yawning fence, down which the dogs were tumbling in masses, I thought (perhaps it was but a thought) that his cheek was paler.
Cooper_The_Prairie_49310.17The convulsions in the features of the young Sioux disappeared, and her countenance became cold and rigid, like chiselled stone.
Cooper_The_Pilot_34090.17"Ay, ay, long Tom, and no sham in the name either," returned the cockswain, suffering the stern indignation that had lowered around his hard visage to relax into a low laugh as he gazed on her animated features; "the Lord bless your smiling face and bright black eyes, young madam!
Heimburg_Gertrudes_Marriage_Clean_28750.17Her swollen eyes looked into his with an expression of cold decision.
Cooper_The_Pilot_38020.16When he arose from the rock, and removed his hands from his features, his eye was hard and proud, his brow lightly contracted, and he spoke in a voice so harsh, that it startled his companion: "Come, sir; why are we here and idle?
Werner_No_Surrender_Clean_20830.16At sight of her, his features relaxed from their set sternness, and his voice, though very grave, was not harsh, as he addressed her: "I have several questions to put to you, Gabrielle.
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol2_37740.16was over in a moment, and the cold, stern features were as fixed and impassive as before.
Werner_No_Surrender_Clean_9500.15That proud, stern face, with its expression of sombre earnest, certainly did not give the idea that its owner could ever have known or cared for the fairy world of youth.
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol1_58420.15Gradually, however, he relaxed in this, and I could see that his stern features assumed a look of kinder meaning.
Holmes_Elsie_Venner_47090.15Then they seemed to lose their cold glitter, and soften into a strange, dreamy tenderness.
DeMille_The_Cryptogram_137490.15There was a wrathful cloud upon her brow as she turned her eyes to look at him, and in those eyes there was a glance, hard, stern, and cold, such as might befit an outraged and injured wife.
Lawrence_Guy_Livingstone_37270.14Her cousin did not try to delude her; all the stern outline of his face softening in an intense pity told her enough.
Harris_Rutledge_9530.14Why, as I looked at the picture now, there wasn't a feature in the face that could possibly have been mistaken for any one else, not a shade nor outline that was not characteristic.
Harland_At_Last_5930.14Mabel bent to kiss the pleading lips, then the great, melting eyes.
Broughton_Nancy_59720.14I sit listening in a stony silence: every bit of me seems turned into cold rock.
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_26010.14For it was not one of your impassive faces, whose owners count it pride to harden into a mass of stone those lineaments which nature made as the flesh and blood representation of the man's soul.
Howells_Their_Wedding_Journey_2460.14What a smiling aspect life in the New World must wear to his young eyes, and how his heart must leap within him!"
Holmes_Ethelyns_Mistake_12820.14Ethelyn had been hard and cold and proud so long that she scarcely knew herself in this new phase of character, and the family did not know her, either.

Reade_It_is_Never_Too_Late_to_Mend_143440.13The first three melt into the shade.
Evans_Infelice_17260.13He took up the little pearl-grey kid, redolent of Lubin's "violet," and spread out the almost childishly small fingers on his own broad palm, which suddenly closed over it like a vice; then with a half smile of strange tenderness, in which all the stony sternness of lips and chin seemed steeped and melted, he drew the glove softly, caressingly over his bronzed cheek.
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol1_75650.13His eye glanced quickly from the features of O'Shaughnessy to those of Baker; but seeming rapidly reassured as he walked forward, his face at once recovered its usual severity and its cold, impassive look of sternness.
Evans_Beulah_36370.13Though utterly miserable, now that her guardian seemed so completely estranged, her proud nature rebelled at his stern dismissal, and a feeling of reckless defiance speedily dried the tears on her cheek.
Prentiss_Stepping_Heavenward_17200.13"I would rather have too little self-control," I retorted, resentfully, "than to be as cold as a stone, and as hard as a rock, and as silent as the grave, like some people I know."
Hillern_Only_a_Girl_33050.13A shade of vexation passed over her face, now turned from the light, and lent it a cold, stern expression.
Bronte_Villette_25410.13For a moment his rigid countenance relaxed with a quiver of content: quickly bent up again, however, he went on,-- "Vite a l'ouvrage!
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol2_21850.13And so it was; the bronzed, hard-cast features of the veteran soldier were softened into an expression of almost boyish delight, as he sat, bare-headed, bowing to his very saddle, while Lord Wellington was speaking.
Harris_Rutledge_46420.13The sternest frown contracted his brow, and in the cold rigidity of his face, one would never have looked for anything gentle or tender, and the expression that succeeded it under the influence of Josephine's smile, was bitter and cynical, even to the most indifferent observer.
DeMille_The_Cryptogram_3710.13In the eyes there arose unutterable longing and tenderness; love so deep that the sight of it thus unconsciously expressed might have softened the hardest and sternest nature; while over all her features the same yearning expression was spread.
Warren_Ten_Thousand_a_Year_6940.13While he thought of it, by the way, there was something very serious and stern in all their faces--he wondered that he had not noticed it before.
Holmes_Elsie_Venner_16280.13It softened his whole otherwise rigid aspect.
Collins_Woman_in_White_33230.13His attentive face relaxed a little.
Hawthorne_Marble_Faun_vol1_20720.12Mosses grew on the slight projections, and little shrubs sprouted out of the crevices, but could not much soften the stern aspect of the cliff.
DeMille_The_Cryptogram_128380.12His face softened; the hard lines seemed to fade away into a certain unspeakable tenderness, and in his eyes there was a look of infinite pity and compassion.
Reade_It_is_Never_Too_Late_to_Mend_91040.12While speaking he had run round the screen and come plump upon Isaac Levi seated in a chair and looking up in his face with stern composure.

Bronte_Shirley_43250.20In this her prime of existence and bloom of beauty they but subdued vivacity to pensiveness.
The_Alpine_Fay_Clean_8100.18She was still the same frail, pale creature, with a weary, listless expression on her regular features,--a hot-house plant to be guarded closely from every draught of air, an object of unceasing care and solicitude for all around her.
Disraeli_Lothair_43520.18Though a man in general superior to care, and master of thought, his countenance was troubled and pensive even to dejection.
Howells_A_Forgone_Conclusion_27260.17The pose of her head, her whole attitude, expressed a quiet dejection; without seeing her face one could know its air of pensive wistfulness.
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol1_30540.17Ellen was happy, her health almost entirely restored; but it was scarcely possible for any observant person to live with her for any time, without noticing the expression of pensive melancholy, of subdued spirit, unnatural in one still so very young, that, unless animated by any casual circumstances, ever rested on her features.
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol2_12260.15Health returned, and with it appeared to come her wonted enthusiasm, her animated spirits.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_30390.15She was improving every day, and many pronounced her handsomer than before her sickness, for where there had been, perhaps, a superabundance of color and health there was now a pensive, subdued beauty, preferred by some to the more glowing, dashing style which had formerly distinguished Edith Hastings from every one else in Shannondale.
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_222300.15The betrothed had retired, as we said, with haughty air, disdainful lip, and the demeanor of an outraged queen, followed by her companion, who was paler and more disturbed than herself.
