And of all the nervy, cold-eyed guys I ever see, Black Jack's kid takes the cake. Never a quiver all the time. And when he whispered, them two guys at the table jumped. He meant business, and they knew it." The girl listened. Her eye alone was not upon the money, but fixed far off, at thin distance.
A cold-eyed, hatchet-faced man, from whom not even the most eloquent beggar could hope to coax a penny. Of what use would it be to try to persuade him to spend sixty-seven dollars and fifty cents on something which I had agreed to take care of. Something had to be done, however, so I wasted most of the day in consulting New York roofers.
Hasten then, O Prince, to save the hosts of Egypt, which you will surely need when you come to sit upon its throne." "I am no sorceress," cried Merapi, "and yet alas! that I must say it this smiling-featured, cold-eyed wizard's words are true. The sword of death hangs over the hosts of Egypt!" "Command that the chariots be made ready," said Seti again. Eight days had gone by.
He saw himself sitting as a Director at a Bank Meeting an enlarged and glorified Fishberry. Now he was playing Fox and pulling for the Dream to work out. The cold-eyed Custodians up at the main Fortress of Credit began to take notice of the Rustler. He was a Glutton for Punishment, a Discounter from away back, and a Demon for applying the Acid Test to every Account.
His whole theory of humanity is tinged with the sad gray colors of a stolid, cold-eyed, ill-contented, egotistical indifference. He is not angry, desperate, indignant, but phlegmatically prudent, face to face with the ruin of his country.
This was the night of golden harvest for the black-garbed, steel-nerved, cold-eyed card-sharps. They knew the brevity of time, and of hour, and of life. In the dancing-halls there was a maddening whirl, an immense and incredible hilarity, a wild fling of unleashed, burly men, an honest drunken spree.
If there was anything Blair hated it was to thump on his crutch past curious, cold-eyed persons. So he remained where he was, hoping not to be seen. But unfortunately for him, he had exceedingly keen ears and exceedingly sensitive feelings. Some of the guests he knew very well without having to see them.
Dangerfield had a way with him that few men with any sort of taste for the knowledge of evil could resist; and the cold-eyed justice of the peace hung on his words with an attentive rapture, and felt that he was drinking deep and pleasant draughts from the sparkling fountains of knowledge; and was really sorry, and shook him admiringly by the hand, when Dangerfield, who had special business at home, rose up in his brisk way, and flashed a farewell over the company from his spectacles.
He resented the fact that she was being led away from him into paths he could not follow that she was at the beck of this lean, cold-eyed stranger and his heathenish idol. "Below the waters. Look! Look!" "No! No!" she cried. "The shrine is there. Seek it! Seek it!" He forced the words through his teeth in his concentrated effort to drive them into the girl's brain in the form of a command.
There was the same wily approach, the same covert allusion to Fletcher's supposed resources, the same peremptory demand, and the same ugly threat which had so desperately maddened him when the subject was broached before. Fletcher felt the tightening of the lasso, but could not free himself from the fatal noose. He must pay whatever the cold-eyed creditor demanded.
