Shefford did not show that he had heard. Hurley waited, leering as looked from the keen listeners to Shefford. "Want to have them all yerself, eh?" he jeered. Shefford struck him sent him tumbling heavily, like a log. Hurley, cursing as he half rose, jerked his gun out. Nas Ta Bega, swift as light, kicked the gun out of his hand. And Joe Lake picked it up.
'Matches are made in Heaven, they say, added Arthur Gride, leering hideously at the father-in-law he wanted. 'If we are married, it will be destiny, according to that. 'Then think, Mr Bray, said Ralph, hastily substituting for this argument considerations more nearly allied to earth, 'think what a stake is involved in the acceptance or rejection of these proposals of my friend.
By this time, she knew it would be no use and yet she beat with her hands until they were bruised and then she snatched up a book and beat with that. She thought she must have been beating half an hour when she realized that someone was standing outside in the corridor, and the someone said, in a voice she recognized as belonging to the leering footman, "May as well keep still, Miss.
She felt herself getting drowsy, and soon the even breathing of the squatter and the student told that both slept. Tess would never know what time it happened. Suddenly her eyes flew open and through the light of a lantern she saw Ben Letts leering into her face. The frosty air was blowing in gusts through the window which the squatter Ben had forced open.

The fellow would take the boat and my father's best gun and treat himself to little shooting trips. And all this with such a sneering, leering, insolent face that I would have knocked him down twenty times over if he had been a man of my own age.

Signy did not like fule-Tammy: she did not like his sidelong, leering expression; and she always avoided him, notwithstanding her brother's oft-repeated declaration that the man "wasn't so bad as he looked."
And she tendered him a battered flower, leering at him from beneath her draggled, dusty bonnet as she put forth her untempting hand for the money. "Sir Lion, Sir Lion," said the other harpy, "I want your name for a raffle." But the lion was off, having pushed the first harpy aside somewhat rudely.
