They lay there the line of our brave lads, plainly visible to a pair of good glasses there they actually lay! We wanted, so it seemed, but a reserve to advance in their support and carry them right up to the top. We said and yet could hardly believe our own words "We are through!" Alas, too previous that remark. Everything began to go wrong.
Foreign to her own, the eyes which had rejoiced in this room ... yet the smile of German comfort was upon it. She lay down beneath the branching antlers, and smiled before she went to sleep: "One pair of silk stockings ... to dance in Babylon ..." In the morning a thin woman dressed in black brought her breakfast jam, rye bread, coffee and sugar.
A circle of the gleaming eyes had drawn about their camp. Now and again a pair of eyes moved, or disappeared to appear again a moment later. The unrest of the dogs had been increasing, and they stampeded, in a surge of sudden fear, to the near side of the fire, cringing and crawling about the legs of the men.
The shoes and stockings of a ploughman were, however, seen to meet at his knees with a pair of brownish, blackish breeches; a rusty-coloured handkerchief, that has been black in its day, surrounded his throat, and was an apology for linen.

The next thing was to obtain two pieces of string, and this was the easiest thing in the world. I wore upon my feet a pair of little "buskins" that laced up to the very ankle.
Byles Gridley wore a pair of formidable spectacles with large round glasses. He had often noticed the reflection of objects behind him when they caught their images at certain angles, and had got the habit of very often looking at the reflecting surface of one or the other of the glasses, when he seemed to be looking through them.
"We must see about getting you a pair," answered Quicksilver. But the staff helped Perseus along so bravely, that he no longer felt the slightest weariness. In fact, the stick seemed to be alive in his hand, and to lend some of its life to Perseus.
The "coloured" foxes, including the red, the cross, the silver, and the black the latter three being merely colour phases of the former and not separate species, as has frequently been proved, but all four having been found in the same litter mate in February and March. They pair and remain faithful partners.
His eyes kindled at a pair of golf-sticks, a hockey-stick, a tennis-racket, and a big basket-ball in the corner; and his whole look of surprise was so ridiculous that she had to laugh. He looked as if a miracle had been performed on the room, and actually stepped back into the hall to get his breath and be sure he was still in his father's house.
