from
Brown Corpus
Since his seizure, Scotty had had little appetite ; ;
yet his changed appearance, surprisingly, was one of plumpness.
His face was fuller ; ;
his lips and the usually sharp lines of his jaw had become swollen-looking.
He breathed now with his mouth open, showing a whitely curving section of lower teeth ; ;
he kept his eyes, with their puffed blurred lids, always lowered, though not, apparently, focusing.
Even his neck seemed thicker and, therefore, shorter.
His hands, which had been as quick as a pair of fluttering birds, were now neither active nor really relaxed.
They lay on his lap, palms up, stiffly motionless, the tapered fingers a little thick at the joints.
Altogether he had, since the seizure, the appearance of a boy who overindulged in food and took no exercise.
He looked lazy, spoiled, a little querulous.
