He saw the head and face of a young fellow of twenty, but, being unused to such appraisement, he did not know how to value it.
Martin Eden by London, Jack View in context
So intent was he upon this personal appraisement of his features that he did not hear the parting of the tall grass behind him as a great body pushed itself stealthily through the jungle; nor did his companion, the ape, hear either, for he was drinking and the noise of his sucking lips and gurgles of satisfaction drowned the quiet approach of the intruder.
Tarzan of the Apes by Burroughs, Edgar Rice View in context
At first, as she turned toward the ape-man, her face reflected only mad rage, but almost instantly this changed into the vapid smile with which Smith-Oldwick was already familiar and her slim fingers commenced their soft appraisement of the newcomer.
Tarzan the Untamed by Burroughs, Edgar Rice View in context
