"And I'll go," Ford said; "but I won't add with pleasure, because that would be rude." When he had gone Evie sniffed about the room, looking at the pictures and curios as if she had never seen them before. It was evident that she had spied the packet, and was making her way, by a seemingly accidental route, toward it.
Instantly one of the men halted her, swung her about, clapped a palm over her mouth, and she saw him staring balefully down into her face. "You do that ageen I keel you!" he hissed. It was the evil-eyed man who had spied upon Queen Zelaya, as she had worshipped the pearl necklace in the van the evening before. Ruth was stricken dumb and motionless.
To prove this I called for my wrap-rascal and cane, and for a fellow with a flambeau to light me. But just then the party arrived from the assembly. I was tempted, and I sat down again in a corner of the room, resolved to keep a check upon myself, but to stay awhile. The rector was the first in, humming a song, and spied me. "Ho!" he cried, "will you drink, Richard? Or do I drink with you?"
I'll help you aboard the ship." He found a hardwood club beneath his feet one of those cudgels that are used in pounding rope-slings and hawsers and with it cleared a pathway for Clyde and himself. But while still at a distance from the ship's gangway, he suddenly spied the man in the gray suit, who had climbed upon one of the freight-piles, whence he was scanning the crowd.
The young madcap laughed, plucked out the ring, slipped it on one of her fingers over her glove, and ran hastily back toward the salon, where the orchestra were, at that moment, beginning the prelude of a contra-dance. She spied us. "Ah! were you here?" she said, blushing. After a searching glance at us as if to question us, she ran away to her partner with the careless petulance of her years.
The queen desired her son to conduct her to the wonderful subterraneous place, which the late sultan her husband had made with such secrecy, that she had never heard of it. Zeyn led her to the closet, down the marble stairs, and into the chamber where the urns were. She observed every thing with the eye of curiosity, and in a corner spied a little urn of the same sort of stone as the others.
"She's wandering here alone, and watching for me to re-enter the hotel," remarked Valentine. "But she need not follow me like this, I think." "No," I said. "Somehow, I don't like that girl." "Why not? She's all right. What more natural than that she should be on the spot to receive me when I come in?" "But you don't want to be spied upon like this, surely!" I said resentfully.
One man stayed with the boat, and the rest chased the Danes into the sand hills, where we lost sight of them for the most part. Once or twice we spied men between them, and once I thought there was a fight on the slope of one of the nearest hills.
The first rays of dawn began to appear: man and nature were rousing themselves from sleep and the air was filled with the confusion of distant sounds. Weak and exhausted I was about to leave Brigitte, and seek a little repose. As I was passing out of the room, a dress thrown on a chair slipped to the floor near me, and in its folds I spied a piece of paper.
For it was, indeed, a mighty army which Siegfried saw before him. Full forty thousand men were there; and they not only filled the valley, but spread over the hills beyond, and far to the right and left. While he stood at the top of the hill, and gazed upon this sight, a warrior, who had spied him from below, rode up, and paused before him.
