Harry tried to keep behind Frank, so that his face would not be noticed. The professor was nearsighted, but he immediately noted Rattleton's queer actions, and he placed himself in front of the boys, adjusting his spectacles.

'They're helping him into the coach long legs the fellow's got, remarked Bligh. 'These things Sir are are very un pleasant, said the general, adjusting the focus of the glass, and speaking slowly though no Spanish dandy ever relished a bull-fight more than he an affair of the kind.
He then bustled about, and employed himself at least twenty minutes in adjusting everything to secure my personal comfort. Having perfected his arrangements, he would get my pipe, and, lighting it, would hand it to me.
