Aleck knew as much about handcuffs and fetters as he did about the binomial theorem, but he was one of those lads who are always ready to "have a try" at anything, and, after examining the square deeply-set holes which secured the anklets, he placed the two pen-blades of the knives together, forced them in as far as they would go, and tried to turn them.
It had no beauty at all according to Californian standards; she could not know that it represented all that intellect, refinement and civilization, generally, would do for the human race for a century to come, but it had a subtle power, an absolute audacity, an almost contemptuous fearlessness in its bold, fine outline, a dominating intelligence in the keen deeply-set eyes, and a hint of weakness, where and what she could not determine, that mystified and magnetized her.
If you will go into the next room I will see you presently," and Alwyn nodded. "It is all right, happiness never kills," observed Mr. Gaythorne, "and for the matter of that, grief, either. We must just bide our time." Then with a flash of strong feeling in the deeply-set eyes, he held out his hand to the young doctor. "God bless you, Luttrell. He says you have been like a brother to him.
As the speech progressed, however, the speaker seemed to get into control of himself; the voice gained a natural and impressive modulation, the gestures were dignified and appropriate, and the hearers came under the influence of the earnest look from the deeply-set eyes and of the absolute integrity of purpose and of devotion to principle which were behind the thought and the words of the speaker.

Robert rested his chin on his hand and looked across the vales and hills, where the feathery gray of leafless hardwoods was mingled with the sturdy, unfailing green of the conebearers. He was a tall, bent man, with thin, gray hair, a lined face, and deeply-set, gentle brown eyes the eyes of one who, looking through pain, sees rapture beyond. He felt very happy.
The ravages of the fever had been frightful hollows where the swollen, sensual cheeks had been; the neck caved in behind and under the jaw-bones; loose skin hanging in wattles, deeply-set eyes, a pinched look about the nostrils and the corners of the mouth.
She dared not go in, because papa was there, but waited, trembling with cold and fear, until her mother's sigh reassured her. In the morning the mistress of the house came down with a pale face and dark rings about her deeply-set large eyes.

These buttresses have been placed here in order to counteract the thrust of the large, deeply-set covering arch over the entrance to the porch.
It was soft and delicately featured, and its rose-white tints were illumined by grave, deeply-set grey eyes that were full of wistful and questioning pathos.
