"Don't you remember, Uncle Cassius," she asked eagerly, "how, when I first came, I told you all about the boy back home who would have just suited you? Well, that was Billie." The Dean's gray eyes wrinkled as he surveyed Billie over the tops of his eye-glasses. "You come highly recommended, young man," he said.
His father he told us with undiminished candour had been a German emigrant who had come over in '49, after the cause of liberty had been lost in the old country, and made eye-glasses and opera glasses. There hadn't been a fortune in it. He, Hermann, had worked at various occupations in the summer time, from peddling to farming, until he had saved enough to start him at Harvard.
All about the green carpet, there was a slowly moving crowd of people: talking to each other: staring at the Pope through eye-glasses; defrauding one another, in moments of partial curiosity, out of precarious seats on the bases of pillars: and grinning hideously at the ladies. Some of these had muddy sandals and umbrellas, and stained garments: having trudged in from the country.
"Ah!" sighed she, as she saw two most elegant young men, the two brothers B , walking round the circle of ladies, with their eye-glasses in their hands. Their eye-glasses rested for a moment on Petrea; the one whispered something in the ear of the other; both smiled, and went on. Petrea felt humiliated, she knew not why. "Now!" thought she, as Lieutenant S approached her quickly.
Do you box with Mr. Winfield?" "Sure. Kirk and me go five rounds every morning." "You have been boxing with him to-day?

I box with him every morning."
They take hold of Gregoire most carefully to lay him on the stretcher. The wounded man criticises all their movements peevishly: "Ah! don't turn me over like that. And you must hold my leg better than that!" The sweat breaks out on Baffin's face. Monsieur Bouin's eye-glasses fall off. At last they bring the patient along.
"Gentlemen, in my opinion we need three things. First, the services of a skillful and discreet silversmith. Second, a pair of eye-glasses fitted with a powerful microscopic lens, able to distinguish good from evil. Third, a confederate who can steal well, such as we can doubtless find in or about Broad Street.
"Did you observe many lights burning in your house when you returned?" asked Penfield. "No, only those which are usually left lit at night." "Was your daughter Helen awake?" "I do not know. Her room was in darkness when I walked past her door on my way to bed." Penfield removed his eye-glasses and polished them on his silk handkerchief. "I have no further questions to ask.
But it is little of any one that you can understand from photographs. You would have to hear her talk, and see her manner, before you could understand why every one speaks so well of her, and why she is a friend with every one " He had handed the packet to his mother, and the old lady had adjusted her eye-glasses, and was turning over the various photographs.
Didn't leave my place until four o'clock in the mornin'. He lives about fifteen miles below me. He told me his name was Toffington. Do you happen to know him, Talbot?" said Gunning, turning to Billy. "Toffington, Toffington," said Billy, dropping his eye-glasses with a movement of his eyebrows. He had listened to the story without the slightest comment.
