You watch!" Smilax whispered. His eyes were wide with interest, for it is not permitted many men to see a duel between these mortal enemies. Somewhere directly ahead of us a diamond-back rattlesnake must have awaited the attack he sensed, though we could not yet see him. Time after time the king snake swept by in front of us, decreasing the circles and, I thought, increasing his speed.
"I've heard talk of these streaks of greased lightnin'," said Buck, with a touch of scorn, "but I'll stack old Mike agin the best of them." "An' there's a dog along with the hoss a dog that's the nearest to a wolf of any I ever seen." There was a sudden change in Buck a change to be sensed rather than definitely noted with the eye.
And under the quiet of Vance she sensed an opposition like a stone wall. "I guess you ain't a friend of Terry's?" "I'd hardly like to put it strongly one way or the other. I know the boy, if that's what you mean." "It ain't." She considered him again. And again she was secretly pleased to see him stir under the cool probe of her eyes.

I can't give an inkling of what I saw in that brute's eyes; it wasn't light, it wasn't color; it was something that moved, away back, when the eyes themselves weren't moving.

And he heard the wind still roaring furiously away off somewhere. And he heard the rain still drenching and sousing away off somewhere.
Imagine then his surprise when Tod's father delayed his return unreasonably, and his only response to Jerry's eager sentences was, "Yes, yes, I know." Jerry's heart sank unaccountably he sensed the fact that Mr. Fulton was not listening, was only waiting, in fact, till the boy should finish and he could decently get rid of Jerry. The story was consequently hurried through.

That's why we look on the Thomahlians as occult, and why they consider us in the same light. "It is strictly a question of sense perception and limitations, which can be covered by the word, 'viewpoint. Viewpoint that is all it amounts to.
De Launay, somewhat to his surprise, although he sensed the note of warning and dry enlightenment in Sucatash's words, felt no shock.
The devilishness that we had sensed behind the lustreless eyes blazed forth in full fury, and to me, familiar as I was with all the weird and wonderful curse phraseology used by the skippers and mates of the island boats, his anathemas impressed me as being the most blood curdling oaths that had ever come to my ears. The man was a devil at that minute.
Considering carefully this series of happenings the American Negro sensed an approaching crisis and faced a puzzling dilemma. Here was evidently preparing fertile ground for the spread of disloyalty and resentment among the black masses, as they were forced to choose apparently between forced labor or a "Jim-Crow" draft.
