Her eyes lost their dilation of fear.
"Have you thought," she asked at last, and her voice was cold and concentrated, "that this man is giving his life for you?" "I have feared," he answered, with incredible callousness, "that to save his craven skin he might elect to do differently at the last moment." She looked at him in a mighty wonder, her dark eyes open to their widest, and looking black by the extreme dilation of the pupils.

It was only at dinner, when her brother-in-law informed his wife he was sick of the place, and that nothing would induce him to stay more than another week, that a stain of scarlet colour appeared in May's cheeks and a terrified dilation in her eyes. Her lids were lowered directly, and the blood receded again.
The fair hair, the even brows, the clear-gazing eyes she seemed to have expected, but the dilation in those same wondering eyes raised to hers, the short upper-lip, the full under one that trembled these the lady did not know.

Little passed his arm around her neck, and with his thumb opened widely the patrician-veined lids of her sweet blue eyes. "Thank Heaven, there is yet no dilation of the pupil; it is not too late!"
