Neither by form, face, nor manner did he express individuality or character. The sole feature noticeable in him was a look of sullenness, a sour, sneering, quarrelsome air about the mouth, to be found perhaps in the curve of his thin lips.,Mrs. Shelly went on with her knitting, but Patricia, who was mending a long rent in her best blouse, looked up with eager interest.,"No sir," his neighbor answered promptly, "I should say not.","Yes, I know," said Judith, expectantly, but Miss Jinny had whisked to her feet and whirled about towards the door.,Patricia gave a short laugh. "Did it ever occur to you that our little Judy might make a fair actress, Norn?" she asked, deftly catching the bare foot that supported Judith and bringing her down on the rug beside her.

I'm not half worthy of you.","You were right," said the young man. "This is surely the person who has hidden the buffalo.","All right, I'll stay.",“It’s all right then,” he muttered and stood up to reassure the crowd.,Most women have no character at all.',"How is this, grandmothers?" he said. "Here is a camp with plenty of fat meat and back fat hanging up to dry; why do you not give me some of that?","You can waltz?",“Shall we shout for help?” asked Tellef.,Billy shook his head. "I'm as rich as I ever want'a be right now, Jim.","It is true," says Violet, evenly.
