It is the eves that he loved as a lad which he sees through the gathering darkness of his death-bed; it is a chance but that he will always adore the star which first came to share his loneliness in this shadowed world above all the shining multitudes in heaven. And, though it is not every watcher who will find it, early or late, that star may rise for him, as it did for Arthur now.
He was a singular object; tall, grim, half-comical, with a leer of low familiarity in his eves, but his waxed mustache of military proportions, his patch of goatee just above the chin, his elaborately oiled hair and flaming necktie, set off his faded face with an odd gear of finery and impressiveness.
I should not dare to sleep if there were no reason why you should not make me die. THE SERPENT. Kill, kill, kill, kill. That is the word. EVE. The new Adams and Eves might kill us. THE SERPENT. You must. For if you do not there will be an end. ADAM. No: they will not kill us: they will feel as I do. There is something against it.
After Tom had been gazing for three or four minutes his eves suddenly lighted, for he saw Nicolas come out of one of the huts. "I wonder what has kept the little fellow so long," Tom murmured. But he turned away with an appearance of listlessness, for, if he were observed, he did not care to have a watcher note his interest in the servant's coming.
The Dutch officials whom I had met in Samarinda and Makassar had depicted the obscure little isle as a flaming, fragrant garden, overrun with flowers, a sort of unspoiled island Eden, where bronze-brown Eves with faces and figures of surpassing loveliness disported themselves on the long white beaches, or loitered the lazy days away beneath the palms.
Then he sat quite quiet, leaning back in his chair, his head thrown forward, his under eyelids drawn up, and contracted around the piercing glance of his eves, his jaws and lips set tight, and a straight line up his forehead from between his eyebrows.
"He's better company than I am, Lottie." "But Calvin is in love with Miss Wilt," said the lady, softly unclosing her eves. "No," coolly remarked Calvin, "I am not in love with her. You know that, Lottie." "Well, Calvin, dear, you would be if you thought she was pure and clear of crime." "Don't ask me foolish questions!" said Calvin.
She was sitting, her back pressed against a small tree, her hands clasped lightly about one knee, with dark eves gazing afar where the broad river danced away into the golden sheen. "Geoffrey Benteen," she asked soberly, never glancing toward me, "is it true you do not desire my return to New Orleans?" "It is true."
Simoun lifted the tray and exhibited another filled with quaint jewels that would have satisfied the imaginations of seven débutantes on the eves of the balls in their honor.
Her thoughts were all secret; her heart was locked and bolted; and he stood without, vainly wooing her with his eves. 'Do you feel better? asked Dick, as she at last rejoined him; and after the constraint of so long a silence, his voice sounded foreign to his own ears.
