Presently, however, I espied two unoccupied chairs; and these we took, finding ourselves facing a pale, bespectacled young man, with long, fair hair and faded eyes, whose companion, a bold brunette, was smoking one of the largest cigarettes I had ever seen, in a gold and amber cigar-holder.
He was engaged, at the moment of the page's entrance, in a little fitting room at the back of his cramped premises, but through the doorway the boy could see the red, bespectacled face with its fringe of bristling white beard, in which he detected all the tokens of brewing storm. He whistled softly in self-sympathy.
I could not help thinking that we three bespectacled figures lacked only the flowing robes to be taken for a group of medieval alchemists set down a few centuries out of our time in the murky light of Prescott's sanctum.
It was the puffy, bespectacled little doctor who shut out the light. "No, your father has still one degree of fever," he grumbled, with a wise shake of his bushy head. "No nobody, Miss MacFarlane, do you understand? He can see NOBODY or I won't be responsible," and with this the crabbed old fellow climbed into his gig and drove away.
Most surprising of all it was to see the diminutive and bespectacled History proudly joining the ranks of the strong ones. He was going to Troy to display his microscopical muscles in that most wearing and violent of all exercises chess.
I shall not inquire by what miracle of grace Paw has learned to find his way about on these curling-iron mountain roads. I am content to eat a barrel of dust a day rather than miss the sight of Maw, placid and bespectacled, on the front seat of the flivver. Without her the mountain roads would never be the same for me, and my own vacation would be spoiled.
"You're ready now?" "To do anything," Mock agreed. "Sure! He's all right!" Private Wilhelm nodded. "I've attended to that." "Come here, Carl!" called the stoop-shouldered one, in a low voice. From another clump of bushes came another man, bearded and bespectacled. If there's anything in a face, Carl was unmistakably German. "Carl will tell you what to do," said time stoop-shouldered one.
As we rolled over the ancient drawbridge which gives admittance to sleepy Bruges, a bespectacled sentry, who looked as though he had suddenly been called from an accountant's desk to perform the duties of a soldier, held up his hand, palm outward, which is the signal to stop the world over. "Halt!" he commanded quaveringly. "Advance slowly and give the word."
Her aunt was clutching her arm. "You seemed so awfully jolly the other night. And and just look at you now." She moved away, followed by the bespectacled young woman and the steamer-rugs, graceful despite the sudden yank with which her aunt set her in motion. Percival managed to keep an eye on her till she turned the corner. Then he sighed. The Captain halted in front of him.
One bespectacled young spectator there was who found his breath coming in quick, sharp gasps as he looked on at this magnificent display. He was tall, yet with a slight stoop in his shoulders. His face was covered with a bushy, sandy beard. He was neither particularly well nor very badly dressed, and would have attracted little attention in any crowd.
