When he did, the same unbroken expanse of sky once more met his gaze; but it was not long until, out of the corners of those unblinking eyes, he could make out bleary forms which shortly resolved themselves into mountain tops. It was odd, the way things suddenly flashed into full view.
Captain Stout and his party were out of sight up the Beaver before the red eye of the morning came peering over the jagged heights to the east, and looking in upon a garrison whose eyes were equally red and bleary through lack of sleep a garrison worn and haggard through anxiety and distress gravely augmented by the events of the night.
I was awakened by a gentle pecking on the nose. "Tommy! Tommy!" Gosh, what a boy, to sleep through an earthquake and never notice it! Tommy, listen: here's our chance now. Wake up, for goodness' sake!" "What's the matter?" I asked sitting up with a yawn. "Sh! Look!" whispered Polynesia pointing out to sea. Still only half awake, I stared before me with bleary, sleep-laden eyes.
Something in the slouch of the figure reminded Dunham strongly now of the man he had noticed the night before, and as he went back into the building he looked the man over well and determined to watch him. As he sat in the office waiting, twice he saw the bleary eyes of the baggy man applied to the glass panes in the front door and as suddenly withdrawn.
"Time passed away, however; I heard nothing from or of him, and my burden at last fell from me. "Then at the end of about five years he came again. "He came behind me as I was opening the door with my latch-key, and laid an unsteady hand upon my arm. It was a dark night, but a gas-lamp showed me his face. I recognised it in spite of the red blotches and the bleary film that hid the eyes.
"The man," I then announced calmly, "will call on me for the document at my lodgings at the hostelry of the 'Grey Cat' to-morrow morning at nine o'clock." "Good," rejoined M. Geoffroy. "We shall be there." He made no demur about giving me the five hundred francs, but half my pleasure in receiving them vanished when I saw Theodore's bleary eyes fixed ravenously upon them.
As for the rag-tag, ruffle-snuffle crowd in motley the bulged, spavined, sniffling crew of mountebanks, troubadours, swashbucklers, bleary philosophers, phantasts and adventurers they set up a veritable witches' chorus. Or it may be the rain again lashing against the streaming windows of the book store. People come in out of the rain. A girl without an umbrella, her face wet. Who?
In this particular shop now the chairs were hard, wooden chairs; the looking-glass you could not rightly call it a mirror was cracked and bleary; and an apprentice boy went from one patron to another, lathering each face; and then the master followed after him, razor in hand, and shaved the waiting countenances in turn.
One came, the old reprobate who drove it casting his practiced eye about for a likely looking customer. He deigned to notice me, recognizing me for an American, and well knowing our national childish impatience, and its lucrative consequences. He drove up to the curb. "Where to?" he asked defiantly, blinking his bleary eyes, his red alcoholic face set in insolent lines. "La Gare du Nord."
Don't yuh go 'n' lay it on me, now!" He was whimpering with maudlin pathos before he finished. Ford scowled at him thoughtfully. "Dick told you about the bottles in the haystack, did he?" he asked. "Which stack was it? And how many bottles?" Mose gave him a bleary stare. "Aw, you know. You hid 'em there yourself! Dick said so.
