I used to hint, with an air of great mystery, that my baby had "somebody's eyes," and then the dear simple old thing would say: "Somebody's eyes, has she? Well, well! Think of that, now!"

Whoever saw this name in the town records would naturally image to himself the town tailoress or nurse, or somebody's single sister who had been wise too long, somebody tall, a little bent, and bony, somebody weather-beaten and determined looking, with a sharp, shrewd glance of a gray eye that said you could not possibly get the better of her and so need not try, somebody who goes out unattended and fearless at night; for, as she very properly observes, "Who'd want to speak to me?"
Joe liked Sally especially right then, because she didn't patronize Mike, or try to reason him out of his heartbreak. Then Haney said abruptly: "Somebody's spotted the Chief." Joe mentally kicked himself. The Chief had said he was going to swim. Now but only now Joe looked to see what he was doing.
