This little dandy in eye-glasses had certainly upset all Leopold's plans for the disposition of the gold. "Halveses!" shouted Charley a second time, as he adjusted his eye-glasses, and fixed his gaze upon the wet shot-bag which contained the hidden treasure. "I think not," added Leopold. "No? When a fellow finds any money, the rule is to divy with all present," added Charley.
Mr. Wrenn felt enormously conscious of Mrs. Zapp down below. He kept listening, as he led them up-stairs and lighted the gas. But Teddem so imitated Colonel Roosevelt, with two water-glasses for eye-glasses and a small hat-brush for mustache, that Mr. Wrenn was moved wrigglingly to exclaim: "Say, I'm going out and get some beer. Or 'd you rather have something else? Some cheese sandwiches?
Some old flame, perhaps. But I couldn't learn any of the particulars." "Ah! That accounts for their singular conduct this morning. Was there much of a row?" This came from a thin-visaged young man with eye-glasses and a sparse, whitish moustache. "I didn't say anything about a row," was the rather sharp reply.
Lady Cumnor was more interested in Molly the more she looked at her; and her gaze was pretty steady through her gold-rimmed eye-glasses. She began a sort of catechism; a string of very straightforward questions, such as any lady under the rank of countess might have scrupled to ask, but which were not unkindly meant. 'You are sixteen, are you not? 'No; I am seventeen.
At length we crossed over Oxford Street, and taking the shady side of Bond Street, were quickly among the real swells of the world men who crawled along as if life was a perfect burden to them men with eye-glasses fixed and tasselled canes in their hands, scarcely less ponderous than those borne by the footmen.
He was in my class at Harvard.... Is he still here?" I asked, after a pause. "Oh, yes. But he hasn't gone to the legislature this time, we've seen to that. His father was a respectable old German who had a little shop and made eye-glasses. The son is an example of too much education. He's a notoriety seeker. Oh, he's clever, in a way.
The white people who questioned the wisdom of starting this new school had in their minds pictures of what was called an educated Negro, with a high hat, imitation gold eye-glasses, a showy walking-stick, kid gloves, fancy boots, and what not in a word, a man who was determined to live by his wits.
"I didn't say anything," protested Sarah sullenly. "Did I, Shirley?" The little girl with the fairy-web of yellow hair did not answer. She started from her seat and ran toward the stairs. "Hugh's coming!" she cried. Quick, even steps sounded on the hardwood treads and a young man with dark hair, darker eyes behind eye-glasses and a keen, intelligent face, descended rapidly.
Mrs Clayton Vernon had a lorgnon at the end of a shaft of tortoise-shell; otherwise, a pair of eye-glasses on a stick. She had the habit of the lorgnon; the lorgnon seldom left her, and whenever she was in any doubt or difficulty she would raise the lorgnon to her eyes and stare patronizingly. It was a gesture tremendously effective.
It is very strange mysterious even the kind of ascendency this lady has obtained for herself in so short a time." "Oh, I dare say it's hard for Lady Henry to put up with," mused Montresor. "Without family, without connections " He raised his head quietly and put on his eye-glasses. Then his look swept the face of his companion.
