Although Mr List and Mr Jowl addressed themselves to each other, it was remarkable that they both looked narrowly at the old man, who, with his eyes fixed upon the fire, sat brooding over it, yet listening eagerly-- as it seemed from a certain involuntary motion of the head, or twitching of the face from time to time--to all they said. Daughtry caught him by the jowl instead and slowly moved his head back and forth as he addressed him: He strained and tugged at the grip, trying to twist his jowl in the slack of skin so as to reach a bite. |
