She stood motionless, only her eyes moving as they searched the distance. All of life that remained in the famished land seemed to have flowed into her and found a beautified expression in the rich vitality of her upright form, the flushed bloom of her face. Daddy John bent to pick up the saddle, and the mountain man, safe from espial, looked at her with burning eyes.
For some time before, though I was seen but as I was, an invalid man, somewhat unsettled in his mind, there were persons who marvelled wherefore it was that I dwelt in such sequestration with Mrs Aird; and their marvelling set the espial of the prelacy upon me.
I would ask, slipping from the saddle at his word. "Why, the hoss-captain's varmints, to be sure; or what-all the abomination o' desolation has left of 'em. We ain't more than a cat's jump from the edge o' the big rock where we first sot eyes on 'em this morning." I saw not what was to be gained by any such long-range espial in the darkness.
"Their purpose, madam," replied the Lady of Lochleven, "they must themselves explain but a formal annunciation were needless, where your Grace hath attendants who can play the espial so well."
Mademoiselle Roguin endeavored to make her wait on the staircase after the class dispersed, that she might prove to her the intimacy of Ginevra and the young man by entering the studio and surprising them together. But Laure refused to condescend to an act of espial which no curiosity could justify, and she consequently became the object of much reprobation.
The landlord of the house had not withdrawn his eye from this place of espial for five minutes, and Barney had only just returned from making the communication above related, when Fagin, in the course of his evening's business, came into the bar to inquire after some of his young pupils. 'Hush! said Barney: 'stradegers id the next roob. 'Strangers! repeated the old man in a whisper. 'Ah!
His rat-tat-tat brought to the door a thin yellow face, cautious in espial, through the narrow opening. "Is it you, sir?" "All right, Mrs. Hopper! How are you? how are you?" He threw his bag into the passage, and cordially grasped the woman's hands. "Dinner ready? Savagely hungry. Give me three minutes, and serve."
"I see. No doubt, Mrs. Baske?" The certainty of this flashed upon Mallard. He had never seen Miriam walk by, but on the instant he comprehended her doing so. It was even possible, he thought, that, if she had not herself seen Cecily, some one in her employment had made the espial for her. The whole train of divination was perfect in his mind before Elgar spoke.
"Is this thy friend, Master Nevile?" said Sibyll, with a glance at the goldsmith. "He is welcome. But is it fair and courteous, Master Nelwyn " "Alwyn, an' it please you, fair mistress. A humble name, but good Saxon, which, I take it, Nelwyn is not," interrupted Nicholas. "Master Alwyn, forgive me; but can I forgive thee so readily for thy espial of my handiwork, without license or leave?"
While she answered freely, responding to all the needs of a suggested subject, she herself never seemed to broach one; and, after hours of nightly watch, which ran through a period of weeks, in which I strove at the shameful occupation of the espial, I was compelled to admit that all her part was as purely unexceptionable as the most jealous husband could have wished it.
