| His eyes were red, his skin pitch black, his face smileless. |
| Certainly, if he could know, he would not wish this dedication of his own home to be a lugubrious, smileless occasion. |
| Bleeding hearts, and dry bones of the churchyard, and tears that burn as they fall, all dance together to the music that he make with that smileless mouth of him. |
| And so the old man, whose life had been so smileless, died smiling. |
| There was a smileless gravity about his lips and eyes which was very impressive. |
