From the FED On-line site...

Under the topic of rules interpretations:

SITUATION 6: With the ball in F1's possession and in the 16-foot circle,
B1 rounds first base on a walk. F1, believing time to be out, wishes to
adjust her hair and puts the ball a) under her chin, or b) in her glove and
under her arm.
RULING: B1 is not released at first base in a) or b)
because there was no obvious play being made on her.
COMMENT: Once
F1 had the ball in her hand in the 16-foot circle, the runner is obligated
to move directly toward the next base or the base last touched without
any motion or recognition by the pitcher. (8-4-2k, NOTE)
