Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_27130.08he began, and there was an accumulation of hitherto repressed malice in his angry voice.

Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_28740.19and the Edith, who wouldn't for the world meet Arthur St. Claire again, uncovered her face eagerly.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_4310.15and the face which at the sight of her anger had dimpled all over with smiles, turned white as Arthur St. Claire asked this question, to which Edith replied: "Yes; he's blind, and he lives up at Collingwood.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_28060.14RICHARD HARRINGTON, COLLINGWOOD, NOVEMBER 5TH, 18--" Slowly a faint color deepened on Edith's cheek, a soft lustre was kindled in her eye, and the great tears dropped from her long lashes.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_51710.12They told him that he had fainted from excess of joy, but Richard believed that Nina had been with him all the same, cherishing that conviction even to this hour, when he stood there face to face with her, unconsciously saying to himself, "Gloriously beautiful Nina.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_38640.12Such were the disjointed sentences she kept whispering, while her eyes turned from Edith to Arthur and from Arthur back to Edith, resting longer there, and the expression of the face told of the unutterable joy within.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_28310.12She should tell him how deceived she was in him, and Edith's cheeks grew red, and her eyes unusually bright, as she mentally framed the speech she should make to Arthur St. Claire, if ever they did meet.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_42230.12"Oh, Arthur," and Nina's cheeks flushed with indignant surprise, that he, too, should prove refractory.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_35820.11Then, with flushed cheeks and bright, restless eyes, she went down to Richard, receiving his caresses and partially returning them when she fancied Victor was where he could see her, "Women are queer," he said again to himself, as he saw Edith on Richard's knee, with her arm around his neck.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_17500.10She had made herself believe she was, for notwithstanding Nina's assertion that "Arthur was good," she thought it a sin and a shame for him to keep any thing but a raving lunatic hidden away up stairs; and after a moment's hesitation she answered, "Yes, I am offended, and I don't mean to come here any more, unless---" "Edith," and the tone of Arthur's voice was fraught with pain so exquisite that Edith paused and looked into his face, where various emotions were plainly visible.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_46220.09Edith was no longer the pale, listless woman who moved so like a breathing statue around Collingwood, but a flushed, excited creature, flitting from room to room, and entering heart and soul into Grace's plans for having everything about the house as cheerful and homelike as possible for the invalid.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_20970.09Edith was too intent upon Nina's answer to notice Arthur, and she failed to see the spasm of pain and fear which passed over his face, leaving it paler than its wont.
Broughton_Nancy_69510.09The great clouds are gathering themselves together to battle; and the mighty wind, with nothing to check its progress, is sweeping over the great plain, and singing with eerie, loud mournfulness.
Success_and_How_He_Won_It_Clean_24580.09Arthur looked after them with a scrutinising gaze, and then turned to the officials.
Holmes_Ethelyns_Mistake_17530.08It is mine," Ethelyn said, and something in her voice and manner kept Richard quiet while she took the offered note and went back to the chandelier where, with a compressed lip and burning cheek, she read the genuine note sent by Frank.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_2930.08The Harringtons were very proud, and Richard would once have scoffed at the idea of being particularly interested in one so far below him as a waiting-maid.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_25030.08Excitement lent a brighter sparkle to her brilliant eyes, and a richer bloom to her glowing cheeks, and thus she sat waiting for Arthur St. Claire, who felt his heart grow cold and faint as he looked upon her, and knew her charms were not for him.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_24000.07Edith sat as usual upon a stool at Richard's feet, and her face wore a look of disappointment.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_40550.06How they burned on Edith's lips, making her so happy--and how they blistered on Arthur's heart, making him doubt the propriety of having given or received them.
Roe_What_Can_She_Do_46620.05"I wish I were able to help you," said Edith.
Reade_The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth_121040.05"Maniacs themselves!
Reade_Put_Yourself_in_His_Place_112280.05"Not that I know of."
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_32100.05I think you must be like her, Edith, except that you are taller.
Auerbach_On_the_Heights_11780.05"Aren't you going along?"

Bronte_Jane_Eyre_90300.06But how they fix!

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_27550.07She was not looking as well as usual,——the light curls were hanging about her face in great disorder, she was flushed, and there was a malicious fire in her eyes.

Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_5760.13The cold blue eyes stared down upon the grandchild, whose tearful glance bade a sad farewell to her ancestral home, which she left to go to wealth and luxury.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_41530.11"You are a very imp of coldness and malice!"
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_56060.10She must banish the traitorous colour from her cheeks and quiet the throbbing of her heart before she could meet the gentle lady’s clear kindly eye.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_46190.09Herr Claudius saw us coming, and for an instant he seemed startled ; an angry expression crossed his uncovered brow, his eyebrows contracted, and from beneath them a long, reproachful glance met mine.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_34610.08She gave one malicious glance at my amused face, and then glided towards the tea-table.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_14910.07With this expression in his eyes, the upper part of his face, which bore the stamp of great sternness, grew to iron.
Wister_Marlitt_Baliff_26070.06All above and around him looked dark indeed.

DeMille_The_Cryptogram_67430.20His eyes were dark, and full of quiet but resistless power; and they beamed upon her lustrously, yet gloomily, and with a piercing glance of scrutiny from under his dark brows.
Evans_Inez_30080.19He fixed his dark eyes mournfully on her face; she could not meet his gaze, and her head sunk upon her bosom.
The_Sign_of_Flame_Clean_21730.15She met his eyes, those dark, glowing eyes, which had so often shone upon her from the face of the boy, and the last doubt disappeared.
Heimburg_A_Sisters_Love_Clean_35190.15But Susanna fixed her eyes on Anna Maria with an expression of astonishment; she had probably never reflected that there was anything great about such activity.
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol2_7750.15said a dark grenadier, blushing to the very eyes.
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol1_10620.15The other, apparently less alive to such consolations as his Church afforded, remained with his hands clasped, his mouth compressed, his brows knitted, and his dark eyes bent upon me with the fierce hatred of a deadly enemy; his eyes were sunken and bloodshot, and all told of some dreadful conflict within.
Harland_Jessamine_1520.14He had had a study in color--and of more kinds than that which met the eye--if nothing else.
Harland_Alone_2370.14As their eyes met, hers beamed with sympathy and interest.
The_Sign_of_Flame_Clean_28890.14The sharp, penetrating eyes of the one met the expression of challenging defiance in the other, but Wallmoden would not have been the finished diplomat he was if he were not equal to the present moment.
Heimburg_A_Sisters_Love_Clean_32090.14Her face was pale, with deep bluish shadows under the eyes; and beside her, even paler, her great eyes directed toward me, as if seeking help, stood--Susanna!
Heimburg_A_Sisters_Love_Clean_17400.14There was a strawberry _bowle_ on the table, and Susanna drank eagerly; gradually color came into her cheeks, and her dark eyes began to shine.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_18470.13His eyes glowed, and glanced rapidly from Dennis to the painting, back and forth, following up the judgment on each and every part which he saw written in the young man's face.
The_Alpine_Fay_Clean_39680.13Gronau suddenly rose, his dark face flushed still darker.
Cooper_The_Deerslayer_50540.13A glance at Hist, and the recollection of what might follow, checked any transient wish for revenge.
Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_10100.13She blushed most enchantingly; just enough, you know; she was conscious I followed her; I contrived to get close to her as she passed out, so close that I could see those exquisite eyes lighten and gleam, those exquisite lips part with a sigh, that beautiful face beam with the sunshine of a radiant smile.
Clemens_and_Warner_The_Gilded_Age_5330.13His eyes met his wife's; then both looked at the child--and as they looked it stirred in its sleep and nestled closer; an expression of contentment and peace settled upon its face that touched the mother- heart; and when the eyes of husband and wife met again, the question was asked and answered.
Aguilar_The_Days_of_Bruce_48750.13His eyes, glancing through the opening in the mask, were large and very dark, often flashing brightly, when his outward bearing was so calm and quiet as to afford little evidence of emotion.
Warner_Queechy_147810.12But she saw with a little surprise the deepening eye which met her, and which shewed, she knew, the working of strong feeling.
Roe_Jest_to_Earnest_6600.12Good-by," and she swept past, with a malicious twinkle in her eyes at his blank expression.
Macdonald_Robert_Falconer_108470.12'That is dreadful,' she murmured, with her great eyes fixed on his, and growing steadier in their regard.
Auerbach_On_the_Heights_17610.12She looked up at Mademoiselle Kramer, with beaming eyes, and met a joyful glance in return.
Evans_Infelice_740.12A troubled look crossed the grave, placid countenance of the pastor, and he clasped his hands firmly behind him, as if girding himself to deny the eloquent pleading of the lovely dark eyes.
Cooper_The_Pioneers_3470.12The eyes of his auditors involuntarily met; and, if the color that gathered over the face of Elizabeth was contradicted by the cold expression of her eye, the ambiguous smile that again played about the lips of the stranger seemed equally to deny the probability of his consenting to form one of this family group.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol3_51430.11There is something meant more than meets the eye!'
Cooper_The_Spy_41140.11There 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.
Reade_The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth_52010.11For all that," added she drily, "an I were ten years younger, I'd as lieve not meet that face on a dark night too far from home."
Cooper_The_Prairie_10740.11He was followed by several of the men, who were attentive observers, watching the dark expression of his eye as the index of their own future movements.
Cooper_Pathfinder_70810.11Playful she turn'd that he might see The passing smile her cheek put on; But when she marked how mournfully His eyes met hers, that smile was gone.
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_66410.11Her eyes were still fixed on mine.
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_113670.11Beatrice's eyes were directed toward this.
Evans_Macaria_22170.11Your face followed me; your eyes met mine at every turn; your glittering hair swept on every breeze that touched my cheek.
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol2_35200.11If a stranger had gazed on her countenance when in calm repose, he would have thought she had seen sorrow; but when that beaming smile of true benevolence, that eye of intellectual and soul-speaking beauty met his glance, as certain would he have felt that sorrow, whatever it might have been, indeed had lost its sting.
Kingsley_Westward_Ho_92980.10His brow was wrinkled, his lip compressed, his eyes full of a terrible stony calm, as of one who had formed a great and dreadful purpose, and yet for that very reason could afford to be quiet under the burden of it, even cheerful; and when he returned to the cabin he bowed courteously to the commandant, begged pardon of him for having played the host so ill, and entreated him to finish his breakfast.
Reade_White_Lies_4500.10Her apron came down from one eye, and that eye dried itself and sparkled with curiosity: the whole countenance speedily followed suit and beamed with sacred joy.
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol1_50960.10How her dark eyes grew darker as she listened, and her parted lips and her fast-heaving bosom betrayed the agitation that she felt!
Holmes_Elsie_Venner_54010.10She followed him with her eyes as he passed from her sight through the door, and when it closed after him sobbed tremulously once or twice, but stilled herself, and met Helen, as she entered, with a composed countenance.
Evans_Vashti_29060.10But his eyes were riveted on the fair rosy face at his side, and his betrothed bit her pouting lip and made sundry blunders.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_86070.10Before the 29th was finished, it was beginning to grow dark.
Warner_Wide_Wide_World_7400.10She smiled as she met her mother's eyes.
Streckfuss_Castle_Hohenwald_Clean_2860.10"The Baron met him with a dark frown.
Reade_Put_Yourself_in_His_Place_14420.10Dr. Amboyne met her glance.
Porter_Scottish_Chiefs_61120.10As she moved away her eyes met those of Wallace.
Hillern_Only_a_Girl_99810.10If she were, how should he meet her and gaze into her innocent eyes?
Hawthorne_The_House_of_the_Seven_Gables_13280.10As his eyes met hers, he seemed bewildered and disquieted.
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_96610.10My tyrant glanced at me with a dark scowl.
Hawthorne_Marble_Faun_vol2_9690.10As he met Miriam's eyes, in bidding farewell, he was surprised at the new, tender gladness that beamed out of them, and at the appearance of health and bloom, which, in this little while, had overspread her face.'
Warren_Ten_Thousand_a_Year_36710.10And now I _must_ meet her again to-night, and I cannot control either my features, or my feelings.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_41100.10When their eyes again met, she gave him a slight smile.
Reade_The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth_88990.10Kate met her outside the town with beaming eyes.
Porter_Thaddeus_of_Warsaw_6460.10I cannot move without meeting some vestige of that truly great monarch.

Bronte_Jane_Eyre_46280.08You are not one of the Gibsons; and yet I know you -- that face, and the eyes and forehead, are quiet familiar to me: you are like -- why, you are like Jane Eyre!"
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_64270.05What shall I do, Jane?

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_31120.05she said proudly.

Bronte_Shirley_37610.17She was just rising in a perplexed flutter, nervously murmuring that she knew not what detained Miss Keeldar, that she would go and look for her, when Miss Keeldar saved her the trouble by appearing.
Evans_Vashti_29220.16Miss Jane grasped her crutches, and rose, leaning upon them, while a look of mingled joy and wonder made her sallow face eloquent; and Miss Dexter dropped her ivory needle, and gazed in amazement at the singer.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_43900.15At the mission school, Susie Winthrop noticed with regret that the lesson was often given in a listless, preoccupied manner; and even the little boys themselves missed something in the teacher once so interesting and animated.
Porter_Thaddeus_of_Warsaw_32640.14asked Miss Beaufort, with a playful smile.
Bronte_Shirley_57760.14Miss Keeldar flushed up with some indignation and more astonishment.
Holmes_The_English_Orphans_10130.13There was a brighter flush, too, than usual, on Ella's cheek, for she knew that she had done wrong, and she so jumbled together the words of her lesson, that the teacher made her repeat it twice, asking her what was the matter.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_40950.13she thought, watching it change under the playful badinage of Miss Winthrop.
Porter_Thaddeus_of_Warsaw_38540.11You have no notion how the gentle Beaufort's blue eyes blazed up while relating poor Tweedledum's presumption!"
Evans_Vashti_10500.10The astonishment painted on Miss Jane's face would have been ludicrous to a careless observer, less interested than the orphan in her slow and deliberate reply.
Reade_Put_Yourself_in_His_Place_15960.09His reception was a chilling bow from Miss Carden, and from Jael a cheek blushing with pleasure at the bare sight of him, but an earnest look of mild reproach.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_5270.09The sweet face and soft eyes of Lady Catheron had done their work already in the ranks of the servants--she would be an easier mistress to serve than Miss Inez.
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_8560.09This last expression caused Miss Eulie to open her eyes at him.
Reade_Love_Me_Little_Love_Me_Long_55840.09Miss Lucy noticed this out of the tail of her eye.
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_47590.09For Miss March, her face and neck were all in a glow.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_25270.09Jane Pool was there, more bitter than ever--more deadly in her evidence.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_14680.09Every eye turns darkly upon Miss Catheron as she comes in.
Evans_Beulah_580.09because that red-headed Miss Dorothy always takes particular pains to look at it.

Reade_Love_Me_Little_Love_Me_Long_31030.09"Ask Miss Fountain why she thinks I do my best for Arthur," said David, lowering his eyes.
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_32420.09You are very kind," said Miss March, with a maidenly dropping of the eyes.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_5620.09Miss Catheron smiled once more, a smile more stinging than words.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_18400.09Miss Inez, when summoned by Hooper, is ghastly pale at first, and hardly seems to know what she is doing or saying.
Evans_Inez_3940.09Inez disengaged her arm, every feature quivering with scorn.
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_28000.08"Please say no more, Miss Walton," said he, his face distorted by an expression of intense self-loathing.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_49070.08But late in the afternoon Susie Winthrop came with a pale, troubled face.
Reade_Love_Me_Little_Love_Me_Long_220.08Miss Fountain's face promptly wreathed itself into an expectant smile.
Hugo_Les_Miserables_155890.08Possibly, Combeferre preferred the whiteness of the beautiful to the blaze of the sublime.
Collins_No_Name_21370.08With that terrible answer, she put her cold lips to Miss Garth's cheek.
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_41970.07The earnestness, the passion of his tone, made Miss March lift her eyes, but they fell again.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_37490.07Miss Darrell's dark, disdainful eyes look full at the frivolous young matron.
Bronte_Shirley_68240.07And Miss Keeldar quietly sipped her glass of new milk, looking somewhat thoughtful and a little pale; though, indeed, when did she not look pale?
Hugo_Les_Miserables_299520.07The immense gleam of the whole combat which he had missed, and in which he had had no part, appeared in the brilliant glance of the transfigured drunken man.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_41840.07Miss Darrell turned to the piano with a frown, but her eyes were smiling, and in her secret heart she was well-content.
Collins_No_Name_29940.07Miss Garth had placed herself a little behind them, in partial shadow; and the lawyer's quiet face was seen in profile, close beside her.
Collins_Armadale_70670.07If he had turned toward his friend when he mentioned Miss Gwilt's name he might possibly have been a little startled by the change he would have seen in Midwinter's face.
Hugo_Les_Miserables_314500.07Twenty times, as he sat in that carriage face to face with Jean Valjean, the legal tiger had roared within him.
Wood_East_Lynne_43150.05"Very much so.
Warner_Wide_Wide_World_124730.05--SPENSER.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol3_7780.05"What do you say?
Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_40400.05I thank you for the lesson."
Harland_Jessamine_53110.05"'Jane!'
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_63280.05I took at first the name of Miss Black.
Evans_Vashti_49580.05Salome, what is the matter?
Bronte_Shirley_4010.05inquired Malone.
Alcott_Little_Women_30570.05"How do you know I do, Miss?"

Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_51940.08315 41 No, not to-night ; I am not in tune," she said, negli- gently, not altering her attitude or raising her eyes.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_1950.07He swiftly raised and lowered the weapon as if for a sudden stab, and then poised it, smiling, on his finger-tips. "

Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_157400.17But 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_158210.17But 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_The_Three_Musketeers_51710.09"Now," said Treville, lowering his voice, and looking into every corner of the apartment to see if they were alone, "now let us talk about yourself, my young friend; for it is evident that your happy return has something to do with the joy of the king, the triumph of the queen, and the humiliation of his Eminence.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol3_5480.09Rigolette now returned, with a joyful eye and smiling lips.
Hugo_Les_Miserables_6030.09He, who generally returned from all his deeds with a radiant satisfaction, seemed to be reproaching himself.
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_8850.08As we have said, his cynical, despondent expression returned, and he silently lowered at the fire.

Hillern_Only_a_Girl_18550.12It was Ole Luckoie who had granted him this bitter-sweet dream by Ernestine's bedside; it vanished as quickly as it had appeared, and left nothing behind but a tear on the old man's furrowed cheek.

Prentiss_Stepping_Heavenward_33450.11It is the bitterest disappointment I ever had.
Evans_Infelice_14540.10The mystical pale face of one who seemed alike incapable of hope or of regret, who gazed upon past, present, future, as proud, as passionless and calm as Destiny; and whose perfect hands were folded in stern fateful rest.
Heimburg_A_Sisters_Love_Clean_40560.10The pain within, the struggles, they were _her_ affair.
Trollope_Can_You_Forgive_Her_135580.10His fine round face had become almost ludicrously long; his eyes and mouth were struggling to convey reproach, and the reproach was almost drowned in vexation.
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol2_12770.10For the rest, my memory retains but little; the kind looks which came around my bedside brought but a brief pleasure, for in their affectionate beaming I could read the gloomy prestige of my fate.
Werner_No_Surrender_Clean_90.09The deeply-furrowed face, too, bore evidence of bygone struggles, perhaps of sorrows and sufferings of many kinds endured in the past, and the sharp, bitter lines about the mouth gave a harsh and almost hostile expression to a countenance which must once have been bright with ardour and intelligence.

Reade_Love_Me_Little_Love_Me_Long_75040.09He was pale and stern with the bitter struggle for composure.

Bronte_Jane_Eyre_37030.15She began muttering, - "The flame flickers in the eye; the eye shines like dew; it looks soft and full of feeling; it smiles at my jargon: it is susceptible; impression follows impression through its clear sphere; where it ceases to smile, it is sad; an unconscious lassitude weighs on the lid: that signifies melancholy resulting from loneliness.

Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_13740.10And there was not the slightest hint of pleasure to be discovered in her features, swollen with weeping; the large eyes, usually so soft and gentle, expressed only vexation and annoyance.
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_52590.09I had never seen anger flaming in those dark-blue eyes before " You shall not touch her !

DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_73760.19His eyes were large, and seemed to possess an unfathomable depth, which gave them a certain undefinable and mystic meaning--liquid eyes, yet lustrous, where all the soul seemed to live and show itself--benignant in their glance, yet lofty like the eyes of a being from some superior sphere.
Holmes_Tempest_and_Sunshine_26830.18Fanny lifted her large blue eyes to Mr. Miller's face with so truthful, wondering a gaze that he was puzzled.

Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_85880.18There was a group before her, large and brilliant, but at them Cigarette never looked; what she saw were the faces of her "children," of men who, in the majority, were old enough to be her grandsires, who had been with her through so many darksome hours, and whose black and rugged features lightened and grew tender whenever they looked upon their Little One.
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_57140.17He smiled at her once more,--that tender, manly smile which made all soft and lustrous the inmost depths of his brown eyes; truly no woman need be afraid, with a smile like that, to be the strength, the guidance, the sunshine of her home.
DeMille_The_Dodge_Club_52880.17She glanced at the manly figure of the Senator with a tender admiration in her eye which she could not repress, and which was so intelligible to the Senator that he blushed more violently than ever, and looked helplessly around him.
Stowe_Uncle_Toms_Cabin_32160.16In the large, clear blue eyes, though in form and color exactly similar, there was wanting that misty, dreamy depth of expression; all was clear, bold, and bright, but with a light wholly of this world: the beautifully cut mouth had a proud and somewhat sarcastic expression, while an air of free-and-easy superiority sat not ungracefully in every turn and movement of his fine form.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_46670.16He did not speak, but his dark blue eye softened with the tender look known only to her; and it was one of the precious moments for which she lived.

Hugo_Les_Miserables_147690.13That worthy priest was the brother of a warden of Saint-Sulpice, who had often observed this man gazing at his child, and the scar on his cheek, and the large tears in his eyes.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_103350.13And the blue, beaming eyes, the soft-cut smiling mouth, gentle, and strong, and sweet, were surely made to win all hearts at sight.

Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_43700.11She was going from him now so fast, and as the clock struck twelve the soft blue eyes unclosed and smiled up in his face with an expression which, better than words could do, told that she bore no malice toward him, nothing but trusting faith and confiding love.

Alcott_Little_Women_88480.10If she had seen his face when, safe in his own room, he looked at the picture of a severe and rigid young lady, with a good deal of hair, who appeared to be gazing darkly into futurity, it might have thrown some light upon the subject, especially when he turned off the gas, and kissed the picture in the dark.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_201760.10Strange and painful contrasts!

Collins_No_Name_7350.10She looked lovely: the flush was tenderly bright in her cheeks; the radiant pleasure shone and sparkled in her eyes; the position of her figure, turned suddenly from the waist upward, disclosed its delicate strength, its supple firmness, its seductive, serpentine grace.

Evans_St_Elmo_13960.09As he drew her into the middle of the room she noticed that he wore the flowers she had given him in the morning, and this, in conjunction with the curious scrutiny to which she was subjected, brought a sudden surge of color to her cheeks.

Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_32640.15For one moment her cheeks were dyed with a rosy flush, and her glance, usually so self-assured, wandered from the doctor’s countenance to the ground at his feet, but she extended her hand with her accustomed air of good-fellowship, and the tips of her fingers were taken, if not retained, very much as they had been upon Kitty’s arrival, and when Doctor Bruck turned round, his features were once more composed to marble.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_23910.14At 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_6630.12He was a striking person, this Doctor Bruck, she could not but admit to herself, as he stood there in the red gleam of the late afternoon.

Wister_Marlitt_Baliff_9830.10Again she stood erect, and there was a bitter smile upon her lips. "
Wister_Marlitt_Rubies_2760.09crimson beneath the glance that scanned him from head to foot.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_7320.09asked Doctor Bruck, smiling, as the lackey moved noiselessly away and vanished.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_9190.07Rather——" The glance with which the doctor raised his hand to interrupt her was a riddle hard to read, but it had such power in it that it silenced those beautiful lips.
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_29370.06" Well devised !
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_28300.06He glanced at it.
Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_11940.06he asked.
Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_31000.06"And Bruck?
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_27280.05There 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_27580.05Then he had been standing for some time behind the por- tiere, watching her.
Wister_Marlitt_Owls_6260.04The old lady presented herself in his study just as he was looking over some papers with a very angry frown, while the chief of police stood by.

Heimburg_Gertrudes_Marriage_Clean_23570.15Sophie gazed anxiously into the pale, still face of the young wife, who quite forgot to say a pleasant word to the old servant.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_36180.15With a smile on her face it is just as well "Mr. Charles" does not see, she stands looking at her roses; then she buries her face, almost as bright, in their dewy sweetness.
Schubin_Erlach_Court_Clean_13990.14In her hurry to get out of the brook, she forgets to look where she is stepping, and suddenly an expression of pain appears in her face, and the water about her feet takes on a crimson tinge.
The_Alpine_Fay_Clean_5890.13Erna stood erect, as angry and determined as if she herself had been threatened with fetters; her eyes flashed as she exclaimed, with all the wayward defiance of a child, "I wish the mountain-sprite would descend upon her wings of storm from the Wolkenstein and show you her face,--you would not ask to see it again!"
The_Alpine_Fay_Clean_25090.13Erna had risen and stood confronting him, the scorn which he would not brook still looking from her eyes.
Reade_Foul_Play_64530.13She folded her arms and stood before him in an attitude of defiance; all but her melting eye.
Howells_Their_Wedding_Journey_18060.13They saw no German faces on the streets, and the Irish faces had not that truculence which they wear sometimes with us.
DeMille_The_Dodge_Club_16510.13Buttons sat gazing over the waters with an expression of bitter vexation.
Reade_It_is_Never_Too_Late_to_Mend_2300.13And he stood cool and erect with a calm manly air of defiance between the two belligerents.
Warner_Wide_Wide_World_127560.12She went up and stood by the side of the bed, just where Mrs. Chauncey is standing, with her sweet sad little face--it's the hardest thing to see a child's face look so--and the flowers all gathered up in her frock.
Harris_Rutledge_37470.12She sat bolt upright in her little bed, and looked at the speaker with her parched lips parted, and a strange, bewildered expression in her eyes, and a restless movement of her tiny hands.
Evans_Beulah_18660.12She longed to ask him what he lived for, if eternity had no joys for him; but, looking in his pale face, she saw from the lips and eyes that he would not suffer any questioning, and, awed by the expression of his countenance, she said "Good-night," and hurried away.
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_40650.12But when he came down to supper, Annie smiled so sweetly and looked so gentle and kind, that he thought, "She does not seem one to push a wretch over a precipice.

The_Sign_of_Flame_Clean_25110.12"My, Fraulein----" Willibald wavered between shame and indignation, but a stern glance from the hitherto saucy eyes silenced him, and the poor roses were finished by a push from the small foot.
Evans_Macaria_25110.12A sudden pallor overspread Russell's face, but he sat erect and motionless, and, fastening his keen eyes upon him, the doctor added-- "She is about to be transplanted to a better world, if there is such a place.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_40780.12The black garments of Rose and Blanche streamed with water; their faces were deadly pale, and expressive of deep grief; the marks of recent tears were on their cheeks, and, with sad, downcast eyes, they trembled both from agitation and cold, as the agonizing thought recurred to them, that they should never again see Dagobert, their friend and guide; for it was to him that Gabriel had stretched forth a helping hand, to assist him to climb the rocks.
Evans_Macaria_27310.12He sat down on the step at her feet, and raised his dark magnetic face, glowing with the love which had so long burned undimmed, his lofty full forehead wearing a strange flush.
Cooper_The_Spy_47900.12The minister stood erect, with grave composure, following with his eyes, in a kind of scornful pity, the retiring females, and suffered the expostulation of the youth to be given, as if unworthy of his notice.
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_19720.12Her smiling face was the last thing he saw, let him quit her ever so often--her smiling face looked brightly and sweetly up at him let those absences be ever so prolonged.
Roe_Opening_a_Chestnut_Burr_27520.11asked Annie, anxiously.
Alcott_Eight_Cousins_19020.11asked Rose, wavering.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_91180.11Her countenance so plainly betrayed her resentment, that Blanche and Rose were frightened at the expression of her face, which had now grown purple with fury, as with agitated voice and wrathful glance she exclaimed: "It was your dog that killed him!"
Evans_Beulah_61670.11It was amusing to mark the expression of utter astonishment which gradually overspread Antoinette's face, as the magnificent voice of her despised rival swelled in waves of entrancing melody through the lofty rooms.
Alcott_Work_40710.11said the young fellow anxiously, as his half-written letter fluttered to the ground, and Christie sat looking at that fateful strip of paper with all the strength and color stricken out of her face by the fear that fell upon her.
Reade_White_Lies_42150.11A red flush came to Camille's face, and his eyes went down to the ground at his very feet, nor did he once raise them while the doctor told him how the sad news had come.
Cooper_The_Spy_23160.11He stood erect, drew a long breath, and looked around him with an elevated face, that even seemed to smile with a consciousness of having obtained the mastery.

DeMille_The_Dodge_Club_57150.11The eye of Buttons took in all this in one glance.

Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_3660.11Glancing round at this moment as he stood in the ring, Cecil saw the betting man with whom Berkeley was taking long odds on the race; he raised his eyebrows, and his face darkened for a second, though resuming its habitual listless serenity almost immediately.
Cooper_The_Deerslayer_46920.10She had seen, under the strong glare of all the torches, the erect form of Deerslayer, standing with commiseration, and as she thought, with shame depicted on his countenance, near the dying female.
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol2_14060.10She stood by the side of Emmeline, who was asleep, peacefully and sweetly; a smile bright and beautiful as of other days, played round her lips.
Trollope_Orley_Farm_152440.10But she still kept her eyes upon the ground, and still stood silent before him.
The_Alpine_Fay_Clean_44400.10He confronted his antagonist erect and very pale.

Evans_Macaria_16210.20She thought of the sleepless nights and wretched days she had passed waiting for a letter from that tall, reserved, cold cousin, and her features relaxed in a derisive smile at the folly of her all-absorbing love.
Holmes_Darkness_and_Daylight_26110.17"It's quite pleasant since yesterday," he said, trying to force a smile, but it was a sickly effort, and only made more ghastly and wan his pallid features, over which ages seemed to have passed since the previous day, leaving them scarred, and battered, and worn.
Braddon_Lady_Audleys_Secret_26610.14Master Talboys made a wry face.

Evans_St_Elmo_15830.11Her eyes met his fearlessly, her smile greeted him cheerily as in the early months of their acquaintance; and while she bent over the pages she was deciphering, his eyes dwelt on her beaming countenance with a fond, tender look, that most girls of her age would have found it hard to resist, and pleasant to recall in after days.
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_14620.11But breakfast was only a pretence as far she was concerned, and the day wore on and the fair, young face kept its pallid, startled look.
Alcott_Work_32260.11"It was the wonderful music that excited him: that was all;" thought Christie; yet, when he came round to say good-night, the strange expression was not gone, and his manner was not his own.
Cooper_The_Pilot_53350.11He fell back with the last words; and a look of satisfaction shone in his aged and pallid features, that declared the interest he had taken in the scene.
Reade_Love_Me_Little_Love_Me_Long_82770.10Talboys was white; even David and Jack showed some signs of a night of watching and anxiety; but the young lady's cheek was red and fresh, her eye bright, and she shone with an inspired and sprightly ardor that was never seen, or never observed in her before.

Reade_Foul_Play_66510.10In the morning his face was haggard, and showed a mental struggle; but hers placid and quietly beaming, for the very reason that she had made a great sacrifice.

Aguilar_Home_Influence_5340.10All around her lay the ornaments of the previous evening, looking so strange, gaudy, and faded in the darkened room, and judged by the calmer feelings of the morning.
Yonge_The_Daisy_Chain_157830.10Flora was grateful and gentle, but as silent and impenetrable as ever, while day after day she lay on her couch, uncomplaining and undemonstrative, visited by her father, and watched over by her aunt and sister-in-law, who began to know each other much better, though Flora less than ever, in that deep fixed grief.

Holmes_The_English_Orphans_21670.08With a peculiar expression of countenance, he stepped towards her, saying "Good morning, school ma'am.
Alcott_Little_Men_38910.08The kind face told them instantly that Demi had no father now, for it was worn and pale, and full of tender grief, which left him no words with which to answer Rob, as he ran to him, saying, reproachfully, "What made you go and leave me in the night, papa?"
Wood_East_Lynne_37680.08He made a movement as though he would get over the stile, but Barbara did not stir; the tears were silently coursing down her pallid face.

Evans_Beulah_21070.11Beulah longed to speak to him of what was pressing on her heart; but, glancing at his countenance to see whether it was an auspicious time, she was deterred by the somber sternness which overshadowed it, and before she could summon courage to speak, they stopped at the front gate.

Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol6_22250.11As Thomas Seyton slowly uttered the concluding part of his speech, he observed, with indescribable uneasiness, the want of all expression in his sister's countenance, the marble features remained calm and imperturbable, and her only sign of attending to her brother's words was a sudden pressure of both hands to her heart, as if to still its throbbing, or as though under the influence of some acute pain, while a stifled cry escaped her trembling lips as she fell back in her chair.
Evans_Beulah_106390.10His face kindled, as if in a broad flash of light; the eyes dazzled her, and she turned her face away, as he drew her once more to his bosom, and exclaimed: "At last, then, after years of sorrow, and pain, and bitterness, I shall be happy in my own home; shall have a wife, a companion, who loves me for myself alone.

Kingsley_Hypatia_66460.10She wore a look of constraint, of half-terrified self-resolve, as of a martyr: and yet not an undoubting martyr; for as Orestes turned his head at the stir of Philammon's intrusion, and flashing with anger at the sight, motioned him fiercely back, Hypatia turned too, and as her eyes met her pupil's she blushed crimson, and started, and seemed in act to motion him back also; and then, recollecting herself, whispered something to Orestes which quieted his wrath, and composed herself, or rather sank into her place again, as one who was determined to abide the worst.

Wister_Marlitt-GoldElsie_5050.09When he saw her graceful figure leaning against the low breastwork, as, with her beautiful head half turned towards the garden, she seemed sunk in a reverie, his features were illumined by an expression of pleasure and quiet delight.

Cummins_The_Lamplighter_46660.16Gertrude now joined them, and, as she made her morning salutions to the doctor and his wife, and gaily apologised to the former for her tardiness, the fine colour which mantled her countenance, and the deep brilliancy of her eyes, drew affectionate admiration from the kind old couple, and were, perhaps, the cause of the stranger's attention being transferred from the lovely face of Emily to the more youthful and eloquent features of Gertrude.
Evans_Beulah_46170.15said Beulah, laying her hand on her companion's shoulder and looking gravely down into the sweet face, which wore an expression she had never seen there before.
Cummins_The_Lamplighter_48480.15There was an expression about his mouth which Gertrude did not like; but she could not find it in her heart to reproach him for the slight sneer which his manner, rather than his look, implied; for as he gazed a moment or two into vacancy there was in his absent countenance such a look of sorrow that she could only pity and wonder.

Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_246310.12Every one looked with astonishment on that grave and severe face, whose calm expression personal griefs had been unable to disturb, and the aspect of a man who was a stranger to all human emotions excited something very like terror.

Cummins_The_Lamplighter_37550.12Gertrude took the letter, and, as she thanked the doctor, her countenance expressed pleasure at receiving it; a pleasure, however, somewhat tempered by sadness, for she had heard from Willie but once since he learned the news of his mother's death, and that letter had been such an outpouring of his vehement grief, that the sight of his handwriting almost pained her, as she anticipated something like a repetition of the outburst.

Cummins_The_Lamplighter_41990.11asked Gertrude, with such a look of astonishment, that Kitty observed it, and evaded an acknowledgment of having done so, by saying, with a blushing countenance, that she agreed to wear it a little while.

Sheppard_Charles_Auchester_vol2_46550.09Clara 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.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_104380.09In fact, the idea of being thrown out of work, in the midst of so many other painful circumstances, had made a terrible impression upon the young workwoman, the traces of recent tears furrowed her cheeks--without her knowing it, her features expressed the deepest despair--and she appeared so exhausted, so weak, so overcome, that Florine offered her arm to support her, and said to her kindly: "Pray walk in and rest yourself; you are very pale, and seem to be ill and fatigued."

Wister_Marlitt_Baliff_7290.11But all my pine-cones are gone," —a smile flitted like sunshine across her face," and so I insolently brought this basket."
Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_53400.10Through my slightly feverish dreams hovered a little figure, a veil about her brow like the ancient Claudius dames; she swept through the echoing corridors, and down the broad marble staircase, but her feet never touched the cold stone ; flowers from the garden were strewn upon Ler pathway, and in this little figure I recognized, with An indescribable sensation of happiness, myself THE LITTLE MOORLAND PRINCESS.

Roe_What_Can_She_Do_3320.12And yet, as a moment later she confidingly took his arm and strolled toward the library, it was evident that all her flutter and hesitancy, her seeming freedom and mimic show of war, were like those of some bright tropical bird fascinated by a remorseless serpent whose intent eyes and deadly purpose are creating a spell that cannot be resisted.
Reade_A_Terrible_Temptation_16480.10Still, 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.
Collins_Woman_in_White_85860.08Mrs. Rubelle smelt at her flowers with a smile of malicious pity.

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_12170.11It was the same cold voice which had once made such a deep impression upon little Fay,—but the tone was deeper, and was now tinged with vexation.

The_Alpine_Fay_Clean_49480.16Her eyes were indeed riveted on Wolfgang in breathless anxiety, but they flashed with passionate admiration, with proud satisfaction, on beholding how he bore himself in the conflict, how he gazed into the terrible countenance of the Alpine Fay and strove with her to the death.

Whitney_The_Other_Girls_27550.13She had neither neglected, nor feverishly contrived and worried; and so at forty three she was just what Christopher, with his Scotch second-sight, beheld her; what she beheld herself now as she went to look at her face in the glass, and to guess what he would think of it.
Cooper_The_Pilot_14870.12interrupted Katherine, in a voice which bespoke her deep anxiety; "they draw near!"
Porter_Scottish_Chiefs_101060.12A friend's anxiety, nay, authority, was there, but no glow of passion; all was calm and determined.
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol2_8210.10She looked on her niece as dearer than ever, from the narrative she had heard, and she was thankful to behold her thus in radiant health and beauty, and, she hoped, in happiness, although at times there was still a deeper shade of seriousness than she loved to see imprinted on her brow, and dimming the lustre of her eye, but it caused her no anxiety.
Roe_What_Can_She_Do_62160.10She saw that there was deep anxiety on all their faces.

Aguilar_The_Days_of_Bruce_15410.09Lady Mary could forget her own deep anxieties, her own fearful forebodings, silently and unobservedly to watch, to follow, to tend the Countess of Buchan, whose marble cheek and lip, and somewhat sterner expression of countenance than usual, alone betrayed the anxiety passing within, for words it found not.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_14490.09Laura's colour grew still deeper, 'If you had been there,' she said, 'you would have been convinced.
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_124530.09The major looked at the count with an indescribable expression of anxiety.
Collins_Armadale_131170.09He tapped his forehead smartly, and turned to the first page of the manuscript before him, with an unconcealed triumph at the prospect of exhibiting his own cleverness, which was the first expression of a genuine feeling of any sort that had escaped him yet.
Roe_Barriers_Burned_Away_52370.09She turned to him imploringly, but his face was inflexible, and his eyes had an incensed look.
Collins_The_Moonstone_26170.09Sergeant Cuff's dismal eyes looked me hard in the face.
Collins_The_Moonstone_25380.09My lady's horror of him might (as I have since thought) have meant that she saw his drift (as the scripture says) "in a glass darkly."
Collins_The_Moonstone_22800.09Sergeant Cuff's immovable eyes never stirred from off her face.
Roe_Jest_to_Earnest_30760.08A look of intense disgust flitted across her face, but she turned, and said emphatically to the others: "I am more to blame for this than he.
DeMille_The_Cryptogram_76150.08Anxiety was on his face, and he looked at Zillah with an expression of the deepest pity and commiseration.
Collins_The_Moonstone_36380.08Sergeant Cuff and I were left face to face, at the bottom of the steps.
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_76180.08"Listen," said the count, and deep hatred mounted to his face, as the blood would to the face of any other.
Roe_Jest_to_Earnest_26020.08At last her curiosity gained the mastery, and she asked her aunt with an indifference, not so well assumed but that her color heightened a little, "Where is Mr.

Alexander_Ralph_Wiltons_Weird_6880.05"What are you about?
Stowe_Uncle_Toms_Cabin_66200.05Behold, the bridegroom cometh.'

Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_147210.20The socius had not spoken a word, but his hideous countenance, now flushed, suddenly revealed such a sense of his superiority, and such sovereign contempt for Father d'Aigrigny, mingled with so calm and serene a daring, that the reverend father and the princess were quite confounded by it.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_146950.13Two or three times, at certain passages in the conversation between Father d'Aigrigny and the princess, the cadaverous face of the socius, whose wrath appeared to be concentrated, was slightly flushed, and his flappy eyelids were tinged with red, as if the blood mounted in consequence of an interior struggle; but, immediately after, his dull countenance resumed its pallid blue.
Success_and_How_He_Won_It_Clean_8790.12Herr Berkow,"--a faint flush overspread Eugénie's face as she uttered the untruth--"Herr Berkow certainly intended personally to express to you his thanks and mine.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_134260.11The socius began to bite his nails, fixing his reptile eye angrily upon Gabriel; Father d'Aigrigny grew livid, and his brow was bathed in cold sweat.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_146350.10At sight of the livid and agitated countenance of the reverend father, the princess stopped suddenly, and grew pale.
Success_and_How_He_Won_It_Clean_25710.09And yet Eugénie's look was strangely thoughtful.
Success_and_How_He_Won_It_Clean_50930.09My own father told me so to my face, just because I could not say 'yes' at once, when he asked me if I was in no way to blame for Berkow's death.
Success_and_How_He_Won_It_Clean_20370.09said Eugénie, radiant with joyful agitation.
Reade_The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth_142440.09And even as he wept, there beamed on him the sweet and reverend face of one he had never thought to see again.
Success_and_How_He_Won_It_Clean_36650.08Eugénie's dark eyes were still fixed on his face.
Harland_Jessamine_3080.08"Her fondness for the vine and fashion of wearing the flower may appear to you and to others a girlish whim.

Bronte_Jane_Eyre_27180.14"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.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_27150.09He paused; gazed at me: words almost visible trembled on his lips,- -but his voice was checked.
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_49680.07"Your bride stands between us."
Bronte_Jane_Eyre_25160.06Wild was the wrestle which should be paramount; but another feeling rose and triumphed: something hard and cynical: self-willed and resolute: it settled his passion and petrified his countenance: he went on - "During the moment I was silent, Miss Eyre, I was arranging a point with my destiny.

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_11410.13Take care that you are not unjust, my ehildl" she said slowly, and with extreme gentleness, after a moment’s pause.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS_32460.12The observation was meant to be ironical, but the voice was uncertain, and the colour forsook the beautiful face for an instant.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS_8290.10And the defiant little face grew gentle and happy as it lay motionless with closed eyes upon the moth—eaten lid of the trunk.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS_19660.09The Professor stood beside her with his eyes riveted upon the writhing limbs and the distorted face.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS_22610.08I tell you, Frederika, in D we have wardrobes full of such beautiful dresses —they would delight your very eyes,——and whenever the fashion changes, everything is made new again.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS_10190.08Felicitas answered not a word——but she compressed her beautiful lips, and gazed fixedly in the face of her critic.
Wister_Marlitt_OMS_37510.06Her gaze, which had rested unalterably upon his countenance, melted.

Wister_Marlitt-AtTheCouncillors_24980.13He paused for breath, never for an instant averting his indignant gaze from the beautiful woman, who looked mean and pitiable enough as she strove in vain to retain her usual arrogant demeanour and carriage.
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_10720.12A flush of surprise crimsoned the harsh features of the housekeeper; for a moment she evidently struggled with some strong emotion, but only for a moment ; then she gazed sullenly as before at her new mistress, and said, in a doubly harsh voice, " Madame, it does Gabriel no harm ; if they treat him with injustice at the castle, he must thank them, humbly thank them.
Wister_Marlitt_Owls_8870.10she asked, with a smile that became wonderfully Well her earnest, lovely face. "
Wister_Marlitt_The_Second_Wife_22740.10A profound pause, lasting for a few seconds, followed these words ; the beautiful duchess sat as if transformed to stone, her eyes alone moved restlessly, roving from Mainau to his young wife.

Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_66370.21She shut her eyes, and there was something in the sweet, obedient, placid look of her face, as the white moonlight shone upon it, that made her mother pause and gaze again with the feeling, only tenderer, left by a beautiful poem.
Sheppard_Charles_Auchester_vol2_25650.20But as they stood for one moment at the foot of the orchestra, he paused, arrested her, his hand was raised; and in a moment, with a smile whose tenderness for that moment triumphed, he had placed the silver rose in her dark hair, where it glistened, an angelic symbol to the recognition of every one present.

Holmes_Elsie_Venner_41650.14The chain of mosaics she had on at that moment displaced itself at every step, and he was peering with malignant, searching eagerness to see if an unsunned ring of fairer hue than the rest of the surface, or any less easily explained peculiarity, were hidden by her ornaments.

Macdonald_St._George_and_St._Michael_20530.11She saw from his smile that there was something at the back of the playful request, and for a moment hesitated, but reading in his countenance that he wished her at least to make the attempt, she put it in her mouth.

Alcott_Little_Women_46780.12Jo's keen eyes were rather dim for a minute, and her thin face grew rosy in the firelight as she received her father's praise, feeling that she did deserve a portion of it.
Alcott_Little_Women_54710.12But there was an unconscious emphasis on the last word, and a wistful look in the eyes that never lost their childlike candor, which chilled Jo's heart for a minute with a forboding fear, and decided her to make her little venture `soon'.
Warner_Wide_Wide_World_77480.11And Alice did not look like herself; her usually calm, sweet face was quivering and sparkling now, lit up as Ellen had never seen it, oh, how bright!
Lever_Charles_OMalley_vol1_71450.11"'Honor bright!'
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol2_33170.11A smile was on Grahame's lip, as his now awakened eye recalled the drooping spirits and fading cheek of his Lilla during those three months of suspense, when Captain Fortescue was supposed drowned, and the equally strange and sudden restoration to health and cheerfulness when Ellen's letter was received, detailing her brother's safety.

Hawthorne_Marble_Faun_vol1_6640.09The whole face was quiet; there was no distortion or disturbance of any single feature; nor was it easy to see why the expression was not cheerful, or why a single touch of the artist's pencil should not brighten it into joyousness.

Warner_Wide_Wide_World_100250.05said Ellen.
Trollope_Can_You_Forgive_Her_163380.05Look here, Alice.

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_16800.11At this moment Aunt Cordula looked positively uncanny; her laugh was a laugh of scorn, although low and smothered, there was something Mcdusa-like in the look of bitterness and contempt which for one instant swept across her face, usually so quiet and loving.

Wister_Marlitt_Little_Moorland_Princess_25450.08I laughed with de- light and stamped repeatedly, so that the drops splashed high in the air.

Hawthorne_Twice_Told_Tales_27940.17The mirthful expression that had laughed in her eyes and dimpled over her countenance when I beheld her faint beauty in the fountain was laughing and dimpling there now.
Cummins_The_Lamplighter_41910.17Though no one but Gertrude appeared to observe it, Kitty was wonderfully changed;--the gay, laughing, careless Kitty had now her fits of musing--her sunny face was subject to clouds, that flitted across it, and robbed it of all its brightness.
Warner_Queechy_92900.15Merry?--she might like to be merry; but she could sooner laugh with the North wind than with one of those vapid faces, or with any face that she could not trust.

Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_108040.15Now and then he would be rejoiced by a bright, genuine smile, perfectly refreshing, at some of the pretty ways of the babe, a small but plump and lively creature, beginning to grasp with her hands, laugh and gaze about with eyes that gave promise of the peculiar colour and brilliancy of her father's.
Streckfuss_Castle_Hohenwald_Clean_12680.14Celia was developed physically far beyond her years; mentally, she was still the gay, careless child; the happy spirit of childhood laughed in her large brown eyes, was mirrored in the bright smile that lit up her lovely features, and in the gay defiance with which, after having fairly smothered her father with kisses, she confronted the Finanzrath with folded arms.
The_Sign_of_Flame_Clean_3910.14The stranger laughed bitterly; it sounded exactly like that harsh, unchildlike laugh which had come from the lips of the lad only a short while ago.

Whitney_Leslie_Goldthwaite_30340.13Dakie Thayne turned a look toward Leslie, as if he would gladly know of what she spoke,--a look in which a kind of gentle reverence was strangely mingled with the open friendliness.
Alcott_Little_Women_87870.12"Father, Mother, this is my friend, Professor Bhaer," she said, with a face and tone of such irrepressible pride and pleasure that she might as well have blown a trumpet and opened the door with a flourish.
Heimburg_A_Sisters_Love_Clean_340.12The door was now opened wide, and an old woman came out, her wrinkled face red with excitement.
Werner_No_Surrender_Clean_62160.11He was the principal sufferer, the one on whom the blow had fallen most heavily; and yet, had I been able to confront him, to look him in the face, and say: 'It is a lie, Rudolph.
Trollope_Can_You_Forgive_Her_119150.11The first thing he did was to open the door, and as he did so he became conscious that his mouth was full of blood from a sharp blow upon his face.
Howells_A_Forgone_Conclusion_27260.11The pose of her head, her whole attitude, expressed a quiet dejection; without seeing her face one could know its air of pensive wistfulness.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_59410.11Placid Aunt Chatty lifted her meek eyebrows and opened her dim eyes as she listened.
Hillern_Only_a_Girl_18750.11Suddenly the hall-door was opened, and a face appeared, so ashy pale, so livid, that Bertha started in terror.
Macdonald_Alec_Forbes_17090.10For about noon, when all was tolerably harmonious in the school, the door opened, and the face of Robert Bruce appeared, with gleaming eyes of wrath.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_86290.10For Lady Gwendoline sat erect, her turquoise eyes open to their widest extent, a look akin to excitement in her apathetic face.
Bronte_Villette_33030.10The bonne turned again to survey me, and seeing my eyes wide open, and, I suppose, deeming their expression perturbed and excited, she put down her knitting.
Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_82040.09Guy stood over him, let the air blow in from the open window, sprinkled his face with vinegar, and moistened his lips, longing for the physician, for whom, however, he knew he must wait many hours.
Warren_Ten_Thousand_a_Year_46690.09Hereat Mr. Quirk opened both his eyes and his mouth to their very widest; got very red in the face; and stared at his placid partner with a mingled expression of fear and wonder.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_117990.09The door opened, and the worthy dyer appeared, with his hands and arms of an amaranthine color; on one side, he carried a basket of wood, and on the other some live coal in a shovel.
Whitney_Leslie_Goldthwaite_20540.09asked Dakie Thayne, with a certain quick change in his tone.
Roe_What_Can_She_Do_16890.09But soon she had the consciousness that she was not alone, and looking up, saw Arden in the door, with a grave troubled face.
Hawthorne_Marble_Faun_vol2_20410.09On the sculptor's side, the amaranthine flower was already in full blow.
Bronte_Shirley_81980.09"It seemed to open with such promise--such foreboding of a most strange tale to be unfolded."
Macdonald_Robert_Falconer_120780.08Betty opened it, and revealed an old withered face very sorrowful, and yet expectant.
Evans_Macaria_37220.08She sprang up, but a deathlike pallor overspread her face and she tottered to the open window.
Cooper_Pathfinder_39360.08"This is a melancholy affair for poor Mabel," said he, blowing his nose, and speaking with a slight tremor.
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_30740.07The face is like stone, the dark eyes all wild and wide, the lips apart; she stands as if slowly petrifying.
Blackmore_Lorna_Doone_11570.07He lifted his hat to my mother, with a glance of sorrow, but never a word; and to me he said, "Open the gate, Cousin John, if you please.
Harland_Jessamine_230.07Every feature was stirred with exultant wistfulness, and her eyes never moved from a certain window of the church from which the inner shutters had been folded back.
Hawthorne_Twice_Told_Tales_9940.06Soon, however, the spectators saw a change upon her face as the consciousness of her sad estate returned, and grief supplied the fount of tears which joy had opened.
Hawthorne_Scarlet_Letter_5580.06A writhing horror twisted itself across his features, like a snake gliding swiftly over them, and making one little pause, with all its wreathed intervolutions in open sight.
Holmes_The_English_Orphans_26060.06Burnishing a striking contrast to her pale, sickly sister, who hovered over the stove, shivering if a window were raised, or a door thrown open.
Wood_East_Lynne_68460.05"Certainly not.
Reade_The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth_18730.05"None!
Reade_The_Cloister_and_the_Hearth_113280.05"January 20.
Reade_It_is_Never_Too_Late_to_Mend_81130.05"Who is this with them?"
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_37240.05"Has she indeed no one to help her?"
Harland_Jessamine_56310.05"No!"
Eggleston_Hoosier_Schoolmaster_16350.05"You know well enough.
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_103580.05"Yes; you.
Cervantes_Don_Quixote_57250.05"What?"

Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_239530.22Madame de Morcerf had lived there since leaving her house; the continual silence of the spot oppressed her; still, seeing that Albert continually watched her countenance to judge the state of her feelings, she constrained herself to assume a monotonous smile of the lips alone, which, contrasted with the sweet and beaming expression that usually shone from her eyes, seemed like "moonlight on a statue,"--yielding light without warmth.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol1_16380.19"Yes, I know I was; and it was my thinking how soon--" answered Fleur-de-Marie, naïvely, and raising her large, tearful blue eyes, with touching candour, to his face.
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_240780.18Madame de Morcerf had lived there since leaving her house; the continual silence of the spot oppressed her; still, seeing that Albert continually watched her countenance to judge the state of her feelings, she constrained herself to assume a monotonous smile of the lips alone, which, contrasted with the sweet and beaming expression that usually shone from her eyes, seemed like "moonlight on a statue," -- yielding light without warmth.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol2_29170.16The handsome features of the viscount were in full animation whilst he was talking to Fleur-de-Marie, but when he was again alone they became darkened and contracted by painful uneasiness.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol6_36460.15Fleur-de-Marie's attitude and the expression of her face showed that she was a prey to the deepest melancholy.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_159890.14de Cardoville's face, now so full of happiness, became suddenly sad, and she answered with bitterness, "It is hatred, sir, that no doubt animated Madame de Saint-Dizier against me."
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_280750.13A proud and tender expression of delight beamed from the radiant brow of Adrienne at sight of the prince, and it is impossible to describe the look of triumphant happiness and high disdain that she cast upon the Princess de Saint-Dizier.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol4_40420.13"Yes, Mont Saint-Jean; I am attending to you," replied Fleur-de-Marie, stooping her lovely face towards the hideous countenance of her companion.
Warner_Queechy_15280.12"That face of Marie Antoinette's," said Mr. Carleton smiling, "is an undisciplined one--uneducated."
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol1_76970.12As she turned towards the table, I saw the pale, almost deathlike features of Marie de Meudon.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol2_24960.11Fleur-de-Marie made no answer, but her whole countenance assumed the pallor of death.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol3_49310.11Fleur-de-Marie had said these last words with so much simplicity; her angelic, pale, depressed features, her melancholy smile, were all so much in accord with her words, that it was impossible to doubt the reality of her sad desire.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol4_52240.11observed the doctor, impassive, and pushing up the frigid eyelid of Fleur-de-Marie with his forefinger.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol4_42500.10"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."
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_176510.08de Cardoville, on a sudden, as she rose, all her features contracted with painful anger.
Lever_Tom_Burke_of_Ours_vol1_19380.08My eyes involuntarily turned to the table where De Meudon's pistols were lying.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_53650.07In spite of herself, she pronounced the last words with an expression so heart-breaking--there was something so moving in the comparison which this unfortunate creature, obscure and disdained, infirm and miserable, made of herself with Adrienne de Cardoville, the very type of resplendent youth, beauty, and opulence--that Agricola was moved even to tears; and, holding out one of his hands to the speaker, he said to her, tenderly, "How very good you are; how full of nobleness, good feeling, and delicacy!"
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol6_13660.07The coarse and austere countenance of the old Comte de Saint-Remy was imprinted with the deepest sorrow.
Trollope_The_Way_We_Live_Now_135000.05he said to Marie.
Reade_Foul_Play_91640.05"Let me look at it," said he.
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_64630.05"Is that all?"
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_205780.05asked Morcerf.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_130190.05"Yes."

Wister_Marlitt_OMS_16270.11sion of her dark eyes and her compressed lips showed that she was suffering acute physical pain.

Wister_Marlitt_Gisela_7560.08Only a very observant eye could have detected the slight nervous twitching of the drooping eyelids.

Collins_Armadale_121160.17A momentary spasm of pain passed across Mr. Bashwood's face.
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_9190.14faintly murmured Fernand, but the word seemed to die away on his pale agitated lips, and a convulsive spasm passed over his countenance.
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_9250.14faintly murmured Fernand, but the word seemed to die away on his pale agitated lips, and a convulsive spasm passed over his countenance.
Collins_The_New_Magdalen_64800.14A quick spasm of pain passed across his face.
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_214360.12"Yes, it is I," said the count, whom a frightful contraction of the lips prevented from articulating freely.
Fleming_A_Terrible_Secret_77620.12A spasm of pain crossed his face; there was a momentary contraction of the muscles of his mouth.
Collins_Woman_in_White_30630.12His eyes brightened, and he seemed about to say something in answer, but the same momentary nervous spasm crossed his face again.
Auerbach_On_the_Heights_118920.11A smile, as of pain, passed over Irma's beautiful lips: "There's one protecting disguise--and it is madness."
Evans_Vashti_58660.11He knew from the tremor of her lips and hands, and the momentary contraction of her fair brow, to whom she alluded; and both sighed audibly.
Auerbach_On_the_Heights_134740.11But he was obliged to ignore this and, although now and then a nervous twitching of his features almost betrayed him, he managed to keep up the semblance of all-absorbing grief.
Bronte_Shirley_108000.10"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."
Evans_Infelice_35220.10Cuthbert turned and stood at the window, with his back to his father, and the convulsive movement of his features attested the profound pain which the announcement caused.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_48190.09The painful contraction passed across his face once more.
Alcott_Work_5780.09Christie was at her best that summer, physically speaking, for sickness had refined her face, giving it that indescribable expression which pain often leaves upon a countenance as if in compensation for the bloom it takes away.
Collins_Man_and_Wife_32190.09A quick spasm of pain passed across her face.
Evans_Inez_25720.09Her lips writhed for a moment with acute pain; but with a faint smile, which touched him with its sadness, she replied: "I am better now--the pain has almost left me, I am very sorry to trouble you so much, Dr. Bryant," "Trouble!"
Collins_Man_and_Wife_65740.08A sinister change passed over the deathlike tranquillity of her face.
Macdonald_Robert_Falconer_53650.08Ericson lay with his eyes closed, and his face contorted as by inward pain.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol3_12060.07Morel did not speak, but his eyes expanded fearfully, whilst a convulsive spasm contracted his features.
Evans_Inez_21760.07The last sound ceased: a deathlike silence reigned throughout the town, and many a cheek grew colorless as marble.
Whitney_Faith_Gartneys_Girlhood_49940.05And--look here!
The_Sign_of_Flame_Clean_21670.05"To whom?"
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol3_54390.05"Certainly he did, madame, or how should I know it?"
Marryat_Peter_Simple_4930.05said she blubbering.
Hugo_Les_Miserables_158150.05said he.
Hugo_Les_Miserables_114520.05Now, come with me.
Hughes_Tom_Brown_at_Oxford_2500.05"Oh, it's nothing.
Hardy_A_Pair_of_Blue_Eyes_8570.05Smith!'
Dumas_The_Three_Musketeers_3840.05PESTE!
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_48520.05I have it with me."
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_26450.05Thus the day passed away.
Dumas_Count_of_Monte_Cristo_112880.05said he.

Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_26010.12For 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.
Evans_Vashti_33240.11She would have given her right hand to recall her words,--when, a moment later, she met the gaze of profound pity and disappointment with which Dr. Grey's eyes dwelt upon her countenance, hardened now by its expression of insolent haughtiness; but he allowed her no opportunity for retraction, even had she mastered her overweening pride, and stooping to whisper a brief sentence in his sister's ear, he took a medical book from the table, and left the room.
Evans_Vashti_66710.11Dr. Grey had only a three-quarter view of the face that bent over the cushion, and though it was sadly altered in every lineament,--was whiter and thinner than he had ever seen it,--yet it was impossible to mistake the emaciated features of Salome Owen.
Harland_At_Last_9520.11The word struck unpleasantly upon the Virginia lordling's ear, and he echoed it with a suspicion of a frown upon his brow.
Sheppard_Charles_Auchester_vol1_16190.10Davy looked suddenly at her; but though his quick, bright glance might have startled away her answer, that came as calmly as all her words,--like a breeze awakening from the south.
Evans_Vashti_31280.10A change, vague and indefinable, but unmistakable, had certainly passed over that countenance since its owner came to reside at "Solitude," and, instead of marring, had heightened its loveliness.
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol1_23930.10That may appear very impossible now," she added, smiling, as Ellen raised her large eyes incredulously to her face; "but more improbable things have come to pass."
Warren_Ten_Thousand_a_Year_42140.10Then Ghastly's performances commenced.
Aguilar_The_Mothers_Recompense_vol1_10610.09To have described what she disliked in him would have been impossible, it was indefinable; but there was a casual glance of that dark eye, a curl of that handsome mouth, a momentary knitting of the brow, that whispered of a mind not inwardly at peace; that restless passions had found their dwelling-place around his heart.
Aguilar_Home_Influence_31790.09Ellen shut the door, secured it, and with a lip and cheek colorless as her robe, an eye strained and bloodshot, read the following words--few indeed!
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol1_37720.09It is useless to describe the extreme delight of the Chourineur.
Collins_Woman_in_White_118440.09His eyes brightened and hardened, and his manner changed to what I remember it in past times--to that mixture of pitiless resolution and mountebank mockery which makes it so impossible to fathom him.
Hawthorne_Scarlet_Letter_9630.07Then, perhaps--for there was no foreseeing how it might affect her--Pearl would frown, and clench her little fist, and harden her small features into a stern, unsympathising look of discontent.
Harris_Rutledge_47480.06A thousand devils whispered it in my ear--he was thinking, "this face is gentle and womanly--it turns to me for pleasure--it is bright and gay--no storms sweep over it; it has never repulsed and disappointed me.
Blackmore_Lorna_Doone_58840.06With no sign of pity in his face, no quiver of relenting, but a well-pleased grin at all the charming palsy of his victim, Carver Doone lowered, inch by inch, the muzzle of his gun.
Whitney_Real_Folks_43840.05"I thought so.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_261740.05"M.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol5_8940.05Impossible!'
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol1_4630.05asked the Chourineur.
Sue_Mysteries_of_Paris_vol1_45160.05"Oh, I really cannot tell you!
Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_90200.05"He was--yes."
Fleming_Norines_Revenge_12890.05Have I startled you so much as that?
Bronte_Villette_55620.05"How--know something?"

Yonge_Heir_of_Redclyffe_115100.21And 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.
Alcott_Little_Women_19150.13Feeling very much ruffled, she went and stood at a quiet window to cool her cheeks, for the tight dress gave her an uncomfortably brilliant color.
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_287870.13As 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.
Harland_At_Last_15490.12She still wore her evening dress, and the fire of excitement had not gone out in her eyes and complexion.
Macdonald_Robert_Falconer_106380.12I could hardly keep down an evil disgust that would have conquered my pity, when a scanty white dress would stop beneath a lamp, and the gay dirty bonnet, turning round, reveal a painted face, from which shone little more than an animal intelligence, not brightened by the gin she had been drinking.
Sheppard_Charles_Auchester_vol1_12920.11Instead of being dressed in her old clothes, she perfectly startled me by the change in her costume,--a glittering change, and one from herself; for through it she appeared unearthly, and if not spiritual, something very near it.
Mulock_John_Halifax_Gentleman_107400.11And as he lay on the grass--it was full summer now--watching Maud's white dress flit about under the trees, I saw, or fancied I saw, something different to any former expression that had ever lighted up the soft languid mien of William Lord Ravenel.
Cooper_The_Pioneers_15000.10Her dress was neat and becoming; and her countenance, though pale and slightly agitated, excited deep interest by its sweet and melancholy expression.
Ouida_Under_Two_Flags_39710.10She is so quiet, so tender; smiles like an angel, glides like a fawn; is a little sad too, the innocent dove; looks at you with eyes as clear as water, and paf!
Evans_Beulah_22100.09Smiling bitterly, she stooped to pick up her new bonnet, which had fallen on the grass at her feet, and, fixing her eyes defiantly on the handsome face before her, said resolutely: "No!
Dumas_Edmond_Dantes_245740.09"Really, You were only before sparkling, but now you are brilliant; take compassion on us, or, like Jupiter, you will wither us up."
Alcott_An_Old-Fashioned_Girl_27090.09whispered Maud, with the wistful look so often seen on her little plain face.
Cooper_The_Pioneers_4330.08The sallow of his countenance was too permanent to be affected even by the intense cold of the evening.
Macdonald_Alec_Forbes_27280.08For some time her colour kept alternating between crimson and white, but at last settled into a deadly pallor.
Heimburg_A_Sisters_Love_Clean_47200.08She did not return my look, but her face glowed as rosy red as the ribbons on her white dress.
Hawthorne_Marble_Faun_vol2_29790.08She was dressed in a white domino, and looked pale and bewildered, and yet full of tender joy.
Roe_What_Can_She_Do_29860.07She sat down and took her sister's cold, impassive hand, saying: "Zell, did I not help you dress in this very place last evening?
Longfellow_Hyperion_8710.07In the valley she wears the countenance of a Virgin Mother, looking at us with tearful eyes, and a face of pity and love!
Warner_Wide_Wide_World_19730.05how can I tell how far it is?
Sue_The_Wandering_Jew_14850.05"Cain!
DeMille_Cord_and_Creese_86520.05"Yes."
Collins_Man_and_Wife_83510.05Shall I look in a little later?"
