1 Frome turned away again, and taking up his razor stooped to catch the reflection of his stretched cheek in the blotched looking-glass above the wash-stand.
2 He longed to stoop his cheek and rub it against her scarf.
3 She seemed to melt against him in her terror, and he caught her in his arms, held her fast there, felt her lashes beat his cheek like netted butterflies.
4 Under his cheek he felt a hard object with strange protuberances.
5 He saw the rise of the colour in Mattie's averted cheek, and the quick lifting of Zeena's head.
6 Then she snatched her hands from his, threw her arms about his neck, and pressed a sudden drenched cheek against his face.
7 But his cheek touched hers, and it was cold and full of weeping, and he saw the road to the Flats under the night and heard the whistle of the train up the line.
8 "Well, may I be damned if I'll have me own daughter telling me what I shall jump and not jump," he shouted, giving her cheek another pinch.
9 "Take my place at the table, dear," said Ellen, patting Scarlett's cheek softly with a mittened hand.
10 The red color of her skin, narrow high forehead, prominent cheek bones and the hawk-bridged nose which flattened at the end above thick negro lips, all showed the mixture of two races.
11 "I am sorry I am so late," said Ellen, slipping her plaid shawl from drooping shoulders and handing it to Scarlett, whose cheek she patted in passing.
12 Too wide across the cheek bones, too pointed at the chin, it was a sweet, timid face but a plain face, and she had no feminine tricks of allure to make observers forget its plainness.
13 Even the feel of Ashley's kiss upon her cheek, even Melanie's soft whisper, "Now, we're really and truly sisters," were unreal.
14 She's my sister now, and Ashley bent and touched her cheek with cold lips, his face drawn and taut.
15 It made them feel devilish and young and they pinched your cheek and declared you were a minx.
