When I pulled out for home, I felt mighty good for myself not exactly looking for trouble, but not a-going to dodge it any, either. I was warbling "Idaho" for all I was worth you know how pretty I can sing? Cock-eyed Peterson used to say it made him forget all his troubles. "Because," says he, "you don't notice trifles when a man bats you over the head with a two-by-four."
Now with its steeple shorn away and one of its two belfry windows obliterated by a straying shot it had a rakish, cock-eyed look to it. Just beyond where the church was our chauffeur halted the car in obedience to an order from the staff officer who had been detailed by Major von Abercron, commandant of Maubeuge, to accompany us on this particular excursion. Our guide pointed off to the right.
Some of them must have captured that ship and, already having it in their cock-eyed brains that we were back of what happened on Callisto, they decided to bump us off if it was the last thing they ever did. That's what I'd do myself, if I were a hexan. Now I'll tell you what's happening back at the home power plant of that ship and what's going to happen next.
"It's a business undertaking." "What!" Nora's eyes were dark with indignation and anger. "None at all. I give her board and lodging and the charm of my society. And in return, she's got to cook and bake and wash and keep the shack clean and tidy. And if she can do that, I'll not be particular what she looks like." "So long as she's not cock-eyed," Reggie reminded him.
He's the bird I'm going to get, and get right and when I get him I'll tell the cock-eyed world he'll stay got. There won't be any two atoms of his entire carcass left in the same township. I meant that promise when I gave it to him!" "He realizes that fully. He knows that it is now definitely either his life or our own, and he is really dangerous.
Unfortunately, Boev and Saniavin, the men who had been engaged upon the task of cutting out the sockets for the braces, had worked so amiss, and run their lines so straight, that, when it came to the point, the arms of the braces refused to sink properly into the wood. "Oh, you cock-eyed fool of a Morduine!" shouted Ossip, smiting his fist against the side of his cap.
If it was a last glimmer of good, of forgiveness, it was promptly squelched. It was Sheeny Rose who opened the door. "You can't come in here," she said curtly. "You know she hated you. She didn't want you to look at her stiff." Cock-eyed Grace's face grew set with anger. Her curses were heard within. She threatened fight, but dropped it. "All right," she said as she went down.
When out of its sight it carouses boisterously, as children sing and shout in the dark to persuade themselves that they are not afraid. And some who hear think it happy. Sheeny Rose was the master of ceremonies and kept the door. This for a purpose. In life Nigger Martha had one enemy whom she hated cock-eyed Grace. Like all of her kind, Nigger Martha was superstitious.
Your sheer nerve in being willing to go the whole route makes me love you more than ever, if such a thing can be possible, and it certainly puts a new face on the whole cock-eyed Universe for me. However, I don't believe it will come to that.
'Sure, says Barney, 'ye wouldn't have a cock-eyed load on the baste, all swingin' on one side, like a pig wid one ear, would ye? says he. "But this Englishman was one of thim stiff sort that doesn't know whin he's bate, an' he went on arguin'. Says he
