The door opened and a woman appeared; a woman tall, sad-faced and eager-eyed. Beside her was a lad as tall as she. They stared at the bearded stranger, the boy wide-eyed and curious; the woman with a piercing, concentrated hope that fears defeat. The man took a stumbling step forward. "Jeanne!" He halted half abashed. But the woman sobbing, ran to him and put her arms about his neck.
Half an hour after the appearance of Davies and Harris half a dozen Circle L men rode up, eager-eyed, overjoyed at finding their "boss". They were covered with snow from their ride up the valley, through the big drifts they had encountered, but the glow in their eyes when they saw Lawler was safe indicated they had forgotten the rigors of the ride.
And a deep voice rises. Yes, I would have liked to have been there in the Valhalla of the Great Actors, when Bert Williams came shuffling through the towering doors and stood singing his entrance song to the silent, eager-eyed throng of Rejanes, Barretts and Coquelins Ah ain't ever done nothin' to nobody, Ah ain't ever got nothin' from nobody no time, nohow.
An army that needed admonitions like these could still awaken enthusiasm from spectators. The austere commander in chief looked very handsome as he passed; the slim, eager-eyed French major general rode at his side; every window shone with curious and admiring eyes and the sidewalks were crowded with applauding citizens.
Douglas looked at Judith. "I've promised to take Judith up to Mountain City. She's going to get a job up there, and I am too!" Judith put down her coffee-cup and her great eyes blazed.

In no case was it low, and yet when the day was over Henley had completely sold out, and in the presence of many admiring witnesses whom he could hardly shake off he had banked a prodigious roll of currency. The tide of opinion had turned. From ridicule it had swept with eager-eyed conviction to vast local pride in Henley as a native product.

"No; she wouldn't give her own flesh and blood to help the thieving Jason." She looked at him searchingly. "Yes, she would, too," affirmed the girl, and then she paused, still intently watching him.
A slender black- haired, eager-eyed dryad, whose shabby brocaded dressing gown trailed around her bandaged foot "Oh, wait! wait!" she cried, "Wait until I can do it " her lips pursed themselves delicately and a second later the lilting trill of her lovely whistle took up the refrain of Maitre Guedron's song. She stretched out her young hands toward the woods.

I know the signs, having often observed just such a readiness in many a good man before." Senator Wendell, blushing, denied the charge, but when urged by all present responded gamely. "I really think I have no story to tell that would interest you.
With this treasure to hark them forward, on and on sailed the ships; and now land birds came to them, and now they passed, floating upon the water, the leafy branch of a strange tree with red, cuplike blossoms. Full sailed upon the quiet sea they held their course, while the men upon them, eager-eyed and keen, watched for land and for the galleons of Spain.
