smudge

I was more than a little impressed, especially when it occurred to me that Nathaniel’s grimy, smudged violin was missing two of the four strings.

In front of a red velvet curtain with smudged mascara and a crystal teardrop on her cheek, Del Rio delivered a moving a cappella performance of “Llorando,” a Spanish-language take of Roy Orbison’s “Crying.”

While we followed the police, we could see the boat – a thin black smudge on a milky sea – to our left.

He has been keeping close tabs on the touring production, not wanting his handiwork to get smudged in transit.

Another message, partially smudged, appears to tell officers to catch the inmates when they can.
