He peered at the other through his half-closed lids while he came forward and shook his former employer warmly by the hand. "How are you, Father Fouchard?" Then only the old peasant seemed to recognize him. "Hallo, my boy, is it you? You've been filling out; how fat you are!"
In Calais harbour, it being still very early in the morning, about half-past five, I peered out to see how things were looking, for if that coast corresponded at all to ours, the tide should be making westerly by six o'clock that day the ebb tide and it was on the first of that tide that I should make the passage to England, for at sea you never can tell.
They do not go on, on the other side of the track, monsieur." Chayne saw clearly enough. The two men had been descending the glacier in the afternoon, the avalanche had fallen and swept them down. He dropped upon his knees and peered into the crevasse.
"Anything in our mailbox this morning?" he asked Fuselli in a hoarse voice. "It's all there, sergeant," said Fuselli. The sergeant peered about the desk some more. "Ye'll have to wash that window today," he said after a pause. "Major's likely to come round here any time.... Ought to have been done yesterday." "All right," said Fuselli dully.
We'll not risk saying anything to him." "I'm in to the limit," said Raw, with decision. "Guess we don't want no limit to this racket. We'll jest get right along," said Jacob, quietly.

He poled his clumsy craft toward the Gem and peered down into the water to see what manner of creature was at the other end of the anchor rope. Then he waved his pole at the girls, as though to reassure them, and edged nearer the motor boat. "All right!" he called, in a quick, nervous manner. "I see him. I'll get him for you."

She ran to the window, drew back the curtains and peered into the narrow street which, at this point, separated her house from the rear of the Palace of Tiberius.
