And you saw that his eyes were red.
She left the room to see after the housekeeping, and Eugenia hugged the baby to her bosom, and cried over him and kissed him, and thought his eyes were like her father's though, for that matter, the general's were gray and watery, with weak red lids that blinked.

This Jew, whose name was Girshel, was continually hanging about our camp, offering his services as an agent, getting us wine, provisions, and other such trifles.

"Before I part with this map you've all got to sign a paper promising me my proper share, and to give me twenty pounds down." Mr. Tredgold hesitated and looked serious. Mr. Chalk, somewhat dazed by the events of the evening, blinked at him solemnly. Mr. Stobell withdrew his head from the window and spoke. "TWENTY-POUNDS!" he growled.
It was a ship, a ship with its keel settled deep in the sand, and held immovable against wind and storm by a rudely built foundation wall of broken rock.

They looked at him in return, but blinked and swayed as they did so. "I will listen to the story," said Doctor Wallington, turning to the two instructors, and his voice had a hard tone to it that did not augur well for the students.
Jimmy has told you what followed." Griffith blinked, and discreetly said nothing as to what lie had heard from Miss Leslie's father. "H'm. I'd like to hear it all, straight from you." "Can't now. Too long a yarn. I want to tell you about the results. Couldn't do it to any one else," explained Blake, blushing darkly under his thick layer of tropical tan. He sought to beat around the bush.
"Jimmy took elivin fine skins frae his traps before he started to town, and I got five more that are his, and I hae eight o' my own."
