5 Miss Bart caught the startled glance of Mr. Percy Gryce, whose own lips were never defiled by tobacco.
6 She took one with an unsteady hand, and putting it to her lips, leaned forward to draw her light from his.
7 She felt a stealing sense of fatigue as she walked; the sparkle had died out of her, and the taste of life was stale on her lips.
8 She sat quiet, her lips parted by the stress of the ascent, her eyes wandering peacefully over the broken ranges of the landscape.
