"I'll have nothing to do with them," he said, looking with bleary eyes at the men who walked along the station platform past the telegraph office. Up along Main Street he went in the evening to Ed Griffith's saloon, and after drinking unbelievable quantities of beer staggered off to his room in the New Willard House and to his bed for the night. Wash Williams was a man of courage.
Heron roused himself from the maze of gloomy thoughts that were again paralysing his tongue. He turned bleary, wild eyes on Armand. "We have got one of them, then?" he murmured incoherently, babbling like a drunken man. "M'yes!" replied Chauvelin lightly; "but it is too late now for a formal denunciation and arrest.
"Number twenty-five on the third floor." "He came with his dog?" I interposed quickly, "a spaniel?" "Yes." "And your lodger, is he an ugly, slouchy creature with hooked nose, bleary eyes and shaggy yellow hair?" But to this she vouchsafed no reply. Already the matter had passed out of my hands.
Finally a bleary dawn whitened his cabin ports and the lad scrambled into damp clothes, picked up the mate's battered telescope and went on deck. He fully expected to see the Vulcan lying close by, but as he glanced around in the dull light, an extraordinary scene shunted all thoughts of the tug from his mind. The wind had lulled, but there still rolled high a most unusual ocean.
Then "chop, chop, chop," and that long, serpentine neck was severed; the body, waving its great scaly legs and lashing its alligator tail, went swimming downward, but the huge head, blinking its bleary, red eyes and streaming with blood, was clinched on his arm.
Gregory noted the mysterious mien and promptly credited it to the man's state of intoxication. He was on the point of hurrying on when Blagg's words stayed him. "Tell Lang girl t' look out for 'self." "What do you mean?" Gregory grasped him by the arm and whirled him about. "Was in s'loon," Blagg muttered, striving to focus his bleary eyes upon his auditor. "Damn Russian there, too.
I went up with Jimmy, my twelve-year-old brother, when at last he was ordered off to bed, and told him a lot of yarns and made him laugh like everything which was rather a triumph, for I'd been afraid his eyes were a bit bleary. When I came back everybody had cleared out except Mother.
A bullet from a coach passenger's pistol had struck his knee and he now limped. He was nearly always drunk and when drunk all his old hatreds were uppermost. Directly he saw Vane, his bleary eyes glistened and his lips tightened over his uneven teeth and the ugly gaps between. "Devil take me, if it isn't the cockerel whose feathers I've sworn to pluck.
Have you signed up with Blenham already?" Temple sought to assume an air of dignity which went poorly with his ragged slippers and bleary eye. "Blenham has his money in a safe in Red Creek. There will be papers to be signed. We are going there now. I I am sorry you take it this way, Teresa." Then she sprang to her feet, her two hands clenched, her eyes blazing.
But my memories carry me back so effectually to those days before the Change that I forget that now all these places have been altered beyond recognition, that the narrow street and the stepway and the view from Clayton Crest, and indeed all the world in which I was born and bred and made, has vanished clean away, out of space and out of time, and wellnigh out of the imagination of all those who are younger by a generation than I. You cannot see, as I can see, the dark empty way between the mean houses, the dark empty way lit by a bleary gas-lamp at the corner, you cannot feel the hard checkered pavement under your boots, you cannot mark the dimly lit windows here and there, and the shadows upon the ugly and often patched and crooked blinds of the people cooped within.
