"Have we seen it all?" sighed Marguerite, as she removed her veil and glasses and gazed back blinkingly into the last light of day. "Hardly," I said; "we have not seen a cloud, nor a drop of rain nor a flake of snow, nor a flash of lightning, nor heard a peal of thunder." Again she looked at me with worshipful adoration. "I forget," she whispered; "and can you vision those things also?"
I can cook the apples and the pig on the same fire." Then the bear looked blinkingly at the little pig, and said: "Let me see. How can I tie him to the fence? Oh, I know, by his tail. I'll just fasten him by his tail." And that's what he did, tying the poor little piggie to the fence by his tail, with a piece of wild grape vine for a string.
Death, that fatal necessity which so many would overlook or blinkingly survey, the old Egyptians held continually before their eyes. Their embalmed ancestors they carried about at their banquets, as holding them still a part of their families, and not thrusting them from their places at feasts.
Without moving a muscle Andy stood with his hands raised, blinkingly trying to identify each individual rider. There was Houck on his big gray cow-horse. To the left rode Simpson, known all over the range as Gary's close friend. Andy half-expected to see Cotton with the posse, but Cotton was not there. He did not recognize the two riders on the wings of the posse.
And thus they found him in the morning. They touched his arm, and he awoke with a smile, the truest indication of a man's amiability. At first he was puzzled as he looked blinkingly from his jailers to his surroundings and then back at his jailers. Then it all returned to him, and he laughed.
It is excellent ore and will smelt well. There is limestone within two miles of the works. The coke, of course, will have to be brought up." "I'll be damned!" murmured Stoughton in a voice husky with reverence. The others spoke not at all, but peered blinkingly at Clark as though his recumbent body were hiding more wonders from them.
Channing's got an awful cold, and mother said he could have anything he wanted, and he took Cousin Claudia to tell him stories. She's been doing it ever since dinner. He's asleep now, but " "I'm not asleep." Channing's eyes opened blinkingly. "She said they found the squirrel in a hollow down by the chestnut-tree, and the moonlight on the snow the moonlight on the snow."
He was leaning against the bar, with the tails of his dress coat thrust apart, while he fully maintained the important air of an employer. He kept on expectorating, and rolled his big eyes about. "Mon Dieu!" said he, "we might go to the Museum." And he stroked his chin, as he blinkingly consulted the other members of the party. "There are antiquities, pictures, paintings, a whole heap of things.
But presently this aimless promenade began to wax uninteresting. And, as the two came to the far end of the beat, Bruce yawned and lay down. It was pleasanter to lie there and to watch the sentinel do the walking. Stretched out, in a little grass-hollow, the dog followed blinkingly with his soft brown eyes the pendulumlike progress of his friend.
The solicitous Doctor Boehm, flooded with a blaze of light, glared blinkingly as I leaped from the bed. "Oh, I was asleep all right," I said, "but I awoke the instant I heard you speak, just as I had assured myself that I would do before I fell asleep. Now what else have you in your bag of tricks?" "I only came " began the doctor.
