Then to stem the tide of her impending protest, he broke his studious silence. "I'm looking for molybdenum," he went on quickly, "and some of these other rare metals that are in demand on account of the war. Ever find any vanadium or manganese around here? No, I guess they're all further north." He returned to his meal and the Widow surveyed him appraisingly with her bold, inquisitive eyes.
And he was on his feet, saluting the man at Weldon's side. "The only bag in the squadron, Captain Frazer," Weldon was explaining. "The blankets are quite dry. Roll yourself up, and you will be warm in a few minutes." Carew surveyed the transfer with merry, impartial eyes. "Well, I like that," he said, when the Captain's yellow head was all that was visible above the encircling cocoon.
No sign that any human foot save their own had ever visited it could be discovered: and the only animals they met with were hares in abundance, and foxes, both red and black, which scampered away in terror at their approach, and surveyed them from a distance with bright, timid eyes.
He had apparently accepted the companionship of unmanageable arms and legs without question, and without embarrassment. His stubby blond hair rose straight from a high, broad forehead, and grew down in square patches in front of his ears. His eyes, small and steady, surveyed the world with profound indifference.

A chord in his nature responded to splendor of raiment, and the surroundings of the great world. Quebec might be corrupt but he could not hide from himself his immense interest in it.
One morning at least so it proved to be, though at the time she did not know it, as in her dark dwelling she saw neither sunrise nor sunset well, this morning of which we speak, to her intense delight, the gentleman came and carried her out into the open air, and surveyed her critically.
Our bows and quivers we left behind because it would have been impossible to drag them through the jungle. Ferguson carried only his Colt pistol; I took my hunting knife. Having surveyed the topography carefully, we attacked the problem at its most available angle and slid from view. We literally dived beneath the brush.
He raised his head, surveyed me leisurely and contemptuously, his dark silky moustache went up against his handsome nose as he sank back and said slowly: "Why, you-'re-not-much-bigger-'an-a-bean!" "Still, I am large enough to take care of you and send you back to your regiment if you are reasonable: but no one can do anything for you if you fly into a rage in this way!"
