Rapkin was a superior type of her much-abused class. She was scrupulously clean and neat in her person; her sandy hair was so smooth and tightly knotted that it gave her head the colour and shape of a Barcelona nut; she had sharp, beady eyes, nostrils that seemed to smell battle afar off, a wide, thin mouth that apparently closed with a snap, and a dry, whity-brown complexion suggestive of bran.
Rushmore's gate, starting to take Madame De Rosa back to Paris, as soon as the girl had gone in. Neither of them said much on the way, and the motor stopped again in the Boulevard Malesherbes. Madame De Rosa thanked Logotheti, with an odd little smile of intelligence. 'Take care! she said, as they parted, and her beady little black eyes looked sharply at him.
If you turn it on after four in the morning there'll be another rupture of diplomatic relations between you and me, same as there was last night." The small boy's beady eyes twinkled, and he squeaked a few words in Sarkese. "You have the advantage of me, Johnnie.
The Doctor rode down to the Dudley mansion solely for the sake of seeing Old Sophy. He was lucky enough to find her alone in her kitchen. He began talking with her as a physician; he wanted to know how her rheumatism had been. The shrewd old woman saw though all that with her little beady black eyes.
"I don't know what that word means, sir, but as you do, it seems to fit the occasion proper enough." "It means, William, that this charming young lady scents our visit from afar." "I had a suspicion, sir, that it might mean that." William leaned against the wall, his beady eyes twinkling merrily. The master rogue lighted a cigarette at one of the candles.
He brushed away the beady perspiration with a gesture almost of anger, then with a look of relief, turned in at a small white gate toward a big, rambling building which proclaimed itself, by the sign on the door, to be Mother Howard's Boarding House. A moment of waiting, then he faced a gray-haired, kindly faced woman, who stared at him with wide-open eyes as she stood, hands on hips, before him.
The dancer, a young man with a heavy shock of hair growing low on his forehead, under which twinkled beady black eyes, had been sent to tell Fräulein Röselein that her colleagues were waiting for her. With a courtesy she went away. Krayne now thoroughly hated the dancer. It was long after eleven when the concert was over and the party started on its homeward trip.
A few paces brought him to the door of a dirty little shop. In a window close beside it appeared the legend: SAM TUK BARBER. The spaniel crouched by the door whining and scratching, and as Kerry came up it raised its beady black eyes to him with a look which, while it was not unfearful, held an unmistakable appeal.
"Well, now, sheriff, that's right kind of you," Rathburn drawled, concealing his astonishment. "Don't thank me," snapped out Mannix. "This gentleman asked me to set you loose." For the first time Rathburn looked squarely at the other man in the office a thin man, with a cropped mustache, beady eyes, and a narrow face.
His beady eyes glittered and when he was enraged his hooked nose seemed to glow a dull red beneath the dusky skin, like a half-heated iron. Simon Halpen was much better dressed than the citizens of Bennington were apt to be, and he carried himself haughtily. His hair was done carefully and the queue tied with a silk ribbon.
