He did not attempt to make good his boast that he would be back at work next day, and when he did appear, on Wednesday of the next week, his bleared eyes and dilapidated air made the reason plain enough. A business agent of his union was with him; Bannon found them in the office. He nodded to the delegate. "Sit down," he said. Then he turned to Reilly. "I don't ask you to do the same.
The tempter sneered, his body stiffening. "He ain't, eh?" he grinned, insolently. "I reckon you don't know him; he likes whisky as a fish likes water." Several men in the vicinity guffawed loudly. Owen was drunk. His hair was rumpled, his face was flushed, and his eyes were bleared and wide with an unreasoning, belligerent light as he got up, swaying unsteadily, and looked at Sanderson.
The mother was holding the daughter's hand; she took Pierston's, and laid Avice's in it. No more was said in argument, and the thing was regarded as determined. Afterwards a noise was heard upon the window-panes, as of fine sand thrown; and, lifting the blind, Pierston saw that the distant lightship winked with a bleared and indistinct eye.
As they turned down the newly-worn track to the cottages, whereof the weekly progress had been for some time the delight of Elsmere's heart, they met old Meyrick in his pony-carriage. He stopped his shambling steed at sight of the pair. The bleared spectacled eyes lit up, the prim mouth broke into a smile which matched the April sun. 'Well, Squire; well, Mr.

The light from one of the lamps near by shone full on him; and something about the stout, shambling figure, or the dirty evil-browed face, seemed dimly familiar. To his surprise, the man nodded at him with a sulky frown, and said, in a thick voice: "Good-evening! Don't remember me, I s'pose?" "No, I do not," admitted Leroy, as he scanned the bleared, swollen countenance before him.

But hearing a light footstep, I looked up to behold the lady, a bewitching vision despite red eyes and pallid cheeks, where she stood surveying me then all at once she came forward, impetuous, her hands clasped. "Oh, sir, how can I ever thank you and my nose so red and my eyes so dreadfully bleared!"
"Who's been letting off fire-works?" Sam Tuk nodded senilely, but spoke not a word. Kerry stooped and stared into the heart of the fire. A dense coat of white ash lay upon the embers.
