Use of issued in context
Hello people I have a question about the meaning of this sentence: "some pearls and diamonds issued from her lips."

This is the whole paragraph where the sentence comes from:

"Pardon me for being away so long," she sweetly replied. As she spoke some pearls and diamonds issued from her lips.

What does this sentence mean?

Thanks in advance

Answer

Issued in this context means to pass out of or flow out of.     She probably didn’t have pearls and diamonds flowing from her lips literally, so I interpret this as a poetic way of saying she was speaking sweetly and being charming.
