All about her the dark-skinned venders and shoppers, the bearded men, the veiled women, the impish urchins, were watching the encounter with beady eyes of malicious interest.

The German confronted him with blood-shot blue eyes that ceased to smile and clearly welcomed the belligerency. "Gott!
He stopped to look down on a grave smothered in beady tokens, the grave of the last pal to fall. "He was mentioned in the Order of the Day," the Colonel explained; and the group of soldiers standing near looked at us proudly, as if sharing their comrade's honour, and wanting to be sure that we understood the reason of their pride...
Democrates reddened. He was glad the room was dark. “I am not here to quarrel about the pentathlon,” he said emphatically. “Oh, very well. Leave your dear sparrow to my gentle hands.” The Spartan’s huge paws closed significantly: “Here’s the wine. Sit and drink. And you, Hiram, get to your corner.” The Oriental silently squatted in the gloom, the gleam of his beady eyes just visible.

The money of this America it so confuse, yes," and she tapped her forehead with one fat finger, while her eyes grew beady, and seemed to shrink in size as they gazed upon the wealth she coveted.

I guess you'll own up that it's the wife who's got the right to kill a husband, won't you?" "Sure," he said.
Monte Irvin, alderman of the city and prospective Lord Mayor of London, paced restlessly from end to end of the well-appointed library of his house in Prince's Gate.

He knew the voice perhaps, or he knew that the great truth that a man's character is ever bubbling to his lips, and every spoken word is a part of it running over. "There are many who can be aristocrats some day with a little good-fortune," he said, and the beady eyes brightened.
