"Is it thus always?" enquired Jane, nearly weeping with fright. "There are many things that may be improved in the castle," said Mr Lutter. "I have seen the necessity of an alteration for a long time, and, if you will favour me with your assistance, much may be done." "Oh! I will help you to the utmost of my power." "We must upset the influence of Mr Peeper," said Mr Lutter.

A devilish bad looking peeper he has got, and a stunning blow you must have given him to have produced such an effect." "When is it to come off?" I asked, almost trembling for Fred. "We have decided that it shall take place immediately, 'cos it would be cruel to disappoint the crowd assembled. They expect a duel, and we must gratify them.

If they go of their own accord, we punish them for it if we can if they stay, they are welcome. Mr Peeper must look to it, or Lutter will make a disturbance." "What a curious place this castle must be," thought Jane, "and what odd people they are that live in it!"

A look from Mr Peeper; a solemn statement from him, that such and such things had never been heard of before in Belfront; and, above all, the use of the muttered and unintelligible jargon to which Mr Peeper betook himself in matters of weight and difficulty, were quite sufficient: Reginald immediately gave up his own judgment, and felt in fact rather ashamed of himself for having hinted that he had a judgement at all.

But that Article Twelve is a direct violation of everything a human being should hold sacred besides being a violation of the Peeper Laws. I'd never sign a contract that didn't carry a full Peeper rider." "That's quite a bit." "That's the minimum," Kennon corrected.

The first step was fatal, she thought, and she was apparently condemned to be a peeper and an eavesdropper for the rest of her days. Hugh was sitting beside the pool, but not in his favourite Narcissus-like attitude.

"I never sees these old tapestry rooms," said the valet, "without thinking of the story of the lady who, coming from a ball and taking off her jewels, happened to look up, and saw an eye in one of the figures which she felt sure was no peeper in worsted."

'Here's this morning's New York Sewer! cried one. 'Here's this morning's New York Stabber! Here's the New York Family Spy! Here's the New York Private Listener! Here's the New York Peeper! Here's the New York Plunderer! Here's the New York Keyhole Reporter! Here's the New York Rowdy Journal! Here's all the New York papers!

I began to think it was a myth, the viewless spirit of the bog, that made all the noises about which the learned professors had been disputing. At last, however, I got sight of a peeper, caught him in the act, and saw that it was, in fact, a little frog, nothing more, nothing less.

You may be thankful, my friend, that you have been able to add another fixed fact to the stock of human knowledge, even though it be only that the 'peeper' is a frog, and not a 'newt' or a 'myth. "But who would suppose that such a tiny little frogling could make such a loud, shrill, and ear-piercing sound?
