He squinted through the port at the gray gloom of the Mare Cimmerium. "There comes the sun." He paused.
Barby and Jan left the porch and walked to where the boys waited. "We've decided," Barby announced. The boys applauded politely. "You see," she went on, "I'm blond, and Jan is brunette." Rick squinted up at the girls. "By golly," he exclaimed, "that's right!" He put a hand on his heart.
It seemed to take him straight into a different and a dreadful world. "What ... what ... what...?" he gurgled. Sam squinted at himself in the glass and added a touch of black to his nose. "How do I look?" Eustace Hignett began to fear that his cousin's reason must have become unseated. He could not conceive of any really sane man, looking like that, being anxious to be told how he looked.
He squinted at the sun, now low in the sky, and quickly asked himself: "If a man doesn't git his dinner, and ates half-way atween noon and midnight, is it his dinner or supper?

He thought he had put on a little weight, and didn't know if she had noticed it!

They scowled, bending an intent gaze through the brilliant noon sunshine. "Sure I get it!" Billy answered in a low tone. "There's something there." "I don't." Honey shaded his eyes. "Nor I." Pete squinted. "Well, I don't see anything," Ralph said impatiently. "But providing you fellows aren't nuts, what the devil can it be?" "It's " Billy began. Then, "My God!" he ended.
"Goodness! I hope it won't give way with him," thought Miss Sarah; then aloud she repeated her question, adding, "I have no confidence whatever in Miss Pennington." Giant Despair squinted at her with his best eye, as if to see just what she meant. "My own opinion," Miss Sarah continued, "has always been that she is a witch; but even then I don't understand it."
