I tried to go over what you said, in my own mind, but I couldn't seem to make it." He lifted his face, sculptured so fine by age, and blinked at Ewbert, who was glad to fancy something appealing in his words and manner. "You mean as to a life beyond this?" "Ah!" "Well, let us see if we can't go over it together."
Burke, dozing over the fire in his so-called office, was aroused from his dreams by the appearance of a vision. For a moment he blinked at it doubtfully. Then into his eyes came a dawning intelligence, slightly tinged with reproach. Burke was an unimaginative man, who did not like to be jarred out of his routine.
Also Guillem was in love with a girl of the village and there was talk that the seigneur, in his loneliness, had seen that she was beautiful. So Guillem slept to forget, and the Jew lay awake because of rats and anxiety. The Jew rose from the floor when Clotilde threw the grating open, and blinked at her with weary and gentle eyes.
She bounced into the school, angry, bare-armed, and eager for the fray, and all the children sat up and wondered. 'I've come about that boy Haddon, said Mrs. Ben. Joel Ham blinked his pale lashes and regarded her thoughtfully, in peaceful and good-humoured contrast with her own haste and heat. 'Have you, indeed, ma'am? he said softly. 'Have I, indeed!
The red-coated soldiery of Fort Regent and Elizabeth Castle, the guardians of Mont Orgueil, were all wrapped in slumber, save the poor, shivering sentinels. Ten o'clock! The drenched tide waiters at St. Heliers pier anathematized the still distant Stella, whose lights now blinked feebly, laboring far out at sea. "An hour yet to wait!" growled the bedraggled customs officers. Ten o'clock!
All this Griselda could see by a bright light that streamed in by the keyhole and through the chinks round the door a light so brilliant that the little girl blinked her eyes, and for a moment felt quite dazzled and confused.

I had been scratched and spanked in addition: it was the first storm centre that I remember. I had been punished but not subdued. At the first opportunity, I stole out of the house and onto the lawn that stretched out to the pavement. I remember the day. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, and everything was green with springtime. For a minute I stood still and blinked in the sunlight.
The old rascal blinked his eyes, jerking his head many times at the shameful girl. Then he said, "Love is there fast and sure. She is all for loving. They call her Isoult la Desirous, you must know."

His eyes blinked happily, like those of a cat in the sunshine; his thickish lips protruded poutingly as they gripped the stem; and the smoke was expelled slowly at each puff, as if he grudged losing a single whiff of the full flavour. Scarcely less interesting was the entranced gaze of Ippegoo. Self-oblivion had been effectively achieved in that youth.
The nose was straight and very thin and in a strong sidelight a tracery of the red blood showed through at the nostrils. The eyes were deeply buried and the lower lids bruised with purple weak eyes that blinked at a change of light or a sudden thought distant eyes which missed the design of wall paper and saw the trees growing on the mountains.
