"But you must say a good deal, in this case." "Yes, yes, good deal. For what?" "Let me introduce you to my niece. Colonel Pazzelli," said Mrs. Erwin. "Ah! Too much honor, too much honor!" murmured the cavaliere. He brought his heels together with a click, and drooped towards Lydia till his head was on a level with his hips. Recovering himself, he caught up his eye-glasses, and bent them on Lydia.
Even the news brought back by Hopkins that he had found the children and that they had undoubtedly seen a woman exactly corresponding with Holmes's description, and wearing either spectacles or eye-glasses, failed to rouse any sign of keen interest. He was more attentive when Susan, who waited upon us at lunch, volunteered the information that she believed Mr.
The two bustled together about the quarter-deck for a few minutes, using eye-glasses, which led them into several scrapes, by causing them to hit their legs against sundry objects they might otherwise have avoided, though both were much too high-bred to betray feelings or fancied they were, which answered the same purpose.
He had simply bent in worship before a goddess of his own creed. To the girl, Brett was equally a revelation. Fairholme's introductory note described the barrister as "the smartest criminal lawyer in London one whose aid would be invaluable." She expected to meet a sharp-featured, wizened, elderly man, with gold-rimmed eye-glasses, a queer voice and a nasty habit of asking unexpected questions.
I wrote: "I love you"; and before I had time to write more, or so much as to blot what I had written, I was again under the guns of the gold eye-glasses. "It's time," she began; and then, as she observed my occupation, "Umph!" she broke off. "Ye have something to write?" she demanded. "Some notes, madam," said I, bowing with alacrity.
I was just beginning to wish that she would sit down and let me question her in my turn, when she suddenly put up her eye-glasses and burst into a most musical little laugh. 'Oh, do come here, Miss Garston; this is too amusing! There goes her majesty Gladys of Gladwyn, accompanied by her prime minister. Don't they look as though they were walking in the Row? heads up everything in perfect trim!
Rouletabille opened the door of his room and after we had passed in, carefully drew the bolt. I had not had time to glance round the place in which he had been installed, when he uttered a cry of surprise and pointed to a pair of eye-glasses on a side-table. "What are these doing here?" he asked. I should have been puzzled to answer him.
North twitched his nose; his eye-glasses dropped off and dangled at the end of their cord. "I have sent explicit orders to Mayor Morrison to tend to that mob that he has been coddling. He's letting 'em get away from him, if what you say is so." "Oh, the mayor and I are in perfect accord and are handling the situation. I have just been talking with him on the telephone."
We could not see more than three times the length of the ship. We tried the lead twice, and the second time got soundings. We then fired a gun then another then a third. Then we moved on then stopped then moved on. The Captain sent for his chart, and put on his eye-glasses. The pilot stared out into the fog, and pointed first in one direction, then in another. All no use.
There was Charity, with her eye-glasses, and placid face, upturned smiling lips and quizzical eyes. How often she had taken the edge off Kit's rancor and indignation with just a few timely, humorous words. Amy, Norma, Peggy, and High Jinks had been the starters in all kinds of fun and recreation, while Anne had seemed to come the nearest to her of them all in actual comradeship.
