"I have heard of such a gift," responded the sculptor gravely, "but never before met with a person endowed with it. Pray try the charm; and lest I should frighten your friends away, I will withdraw into this thicket, and merely peep at them." "I doubt," said Donatello, "whether they will remember my voice now. It changes, you know, as the boy grows towards manhood."
Even these became tired at last of the sound of their own voices, and gradually every noise in the camp was hushed, except the crackling of the fires as they sank by degrees and went out, leaving the place in dead silence and total darkness. With the first peep of dawn the guide arose. In ten minutes after his first shout the whole camp was astir.
Moreover, not a wall is entire; merely foundations peep out of the ground, mutilated bases describing the plan of the edifice.
39 The sun goes to cross the Western sea, leaving its last salutation to the East. 40 Do not blame your food because you have no appetite. 41 The trees, like the longings of the earth, stand a-tiptoe to peep at the heaven. 42 You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.
Captain Vernon was of course on deck, and from the anxious way in which he from time to time glanced, first at the portentous sky overhead, next at the chase, and finally at our immense spread of canvas, I felt sure that he, to some extent, shared my apprehensions. At length, after a more than usually anxious glance round, he went to the skylight and took a peep apparently at the barometer.
The central nippers will have nearly attained their full growth, and a vacuity will be left where the second stood; or, they will begin to peep above the gum, and the corner ones will be diminished in breadth and worn down, the mark becoming small and faint. At this period also the second pair of grinders will be shed.
While Thomas had been giving this account of Poor Jack, the Soldier, John was very busy moving round the old house, and peeping through the cracks in the boards. At last he motioned Thomas and Samuel, to come to him, and then whispered: "Stoop down don't make a bit of noise and peep through this crack. You'll see the biggest owl that ever you did see, in all your life."
I explained that I had hoped to find friends, and was so polite that I contrived to get permission for my cabman to have a peep through the crack of the door. When he had identified his three passengers, all hope was over. I had followed the wrong men. There was nothing to do but go back to the Gare du Nord, and question more porters and cabmen.
"We're going out and have a look at this new shed by moonlight," decided Tom. "I want to see what it's like, and, if possible, I want to get a peep inside. I'll soon be able to tell whether or not Andy is using my stolen plans." "All right. I'm with you. Bless my bill of fare! But we seem to be doing a lot of mysterious work of late." "Yes," agreed Tom.
Now and then the moon, then in her second quarter, would show her disc for an instant, but be quickly obscured; or a star of "paly" light peep out, and also disappear. The well was sounded, but the vessel did not yet make more water than what might be expected in such a sea; we, however, kept the pumps going at intervals, in order to prevent the cargo from sustaining damage.
