"Ride along, you fellars," he said, "an' each pick out a stand.
"I expect the boys hadn't better touch the sheriff's calves, now you and him are so thick." "We're thick, are we?" Leroy's indolent eyes narrowed slightly as they rested on him. "Ain't you?

Lupo held her hands behind her back. Miss Campbell noticed at once that the woman's expression had changed. She had lost that look of a shy gentle animal.

And this was the feature of the conversation which impressed Clennam, as a man not used to it, very disagreeably: making him doubt if it were quite right to sit there, silently hearing a great nation narrowed to such little bounds.
For Rathburn's gaze had narrowed; and it shot from his eyes steel blue with a flash of fire. His face had set in cold, grim lines. The whole nature of the man seemed to undergo a change.
