So insets of fine white net were put in the eye-holes and the dainty white masks were really pretty affairs. They had made them not exactly alike, lest duplicates should lead to suspicion of their identity. When it was time to get ready for the party Mrs. Rose pinned the girls into their sheet draperies. "Make us as different as possible, Mother," advised Dotty, "so they'll never think we're us."
The crab begins by tearing the husk, fibre by fibre, and always from that end under which the three eye-holes are situated; when this is completed, the crab commences hammering with its heavy claws on one of the eye-holes till an opening is made. Then turning round its body, by the aid of its posterior and narrow pair of pincers it extracts the white albuminous substance.
He seemed rather annoyed at having to bother with such help, but put down her name and then led her across to where a line of girls occupied stools in front of clacking machines. On the shoulder of one of the girls who was punching eye-holes in one piece of the upper, by the aid of the machine, he put his hand. " You," he said, " show this girl how to do what you're doing.
"Now we must put a piece of gauze or net behind these eye-holes," said Dotty, out of her full experience, "for if we don't, they'd know your eyes and mine in a minute, Dollyrinda." "Then how can we see where we're going?" "Oh, we can see through the thin stuff easily enough, but our eyes don't show plainly to other people."
I'm a very poor hand at pretending I'm a "grown man." Impressions of small queer things still stamp themselves with a clear kodak-click on my mind an ivory-white mule's skull lying in the sand with green beetles running through the eye-holes... anything trivial, childlike details.
As the Prime Minister had promised the police spared no pains to insure their safety, and behind the hoardings of the new Government offices detectives were packed like herrings in a barrel, with special eye-holes bored through so that they might note the actual passing of the royal carriage, and have it well under observation at the point of danger which was, presumably, that at which the last explosion had occurred.
And everywhere in the dull, flame-shot obscurity, the Legionaries ran about like ghouls in their hoods and round, hollow eye-holes; masked faces, indistinct in the smoke, loomed grotesque and horrible as Ku-Klux where the bayonets were at work digging out the enemy from blind burrows, turning them up from their bloody forms.
We were so close the music fairly deafened us, as, with a multiplied undernote of moving feet, the march began. On came those people toward us, wave behind wave of color and magnificence, dotted with little black ovals of masks pierced by gleaming eye-holes. I could sense Barbara reading the room as it bore down on her, and reading it clearly, getting whatever it was she had come there for.
The rest of his features were covered by a motoring mask with large glass eye-holes that made him look not unlike a goggle-eyed frog. "Come here, Malvoise," croaked the newcomer, in a voice strangely like that of the creature he remotely resembled. The Frenchman instantly left his engine and hurried to the side of the automobile.
The half-crazed motion with which the mother hid her son beside her and the threatening glance she cast upon the count through the eye-holes of her mask, made Beauvouloir shudder. "She will die if she loses that child too soon," he said to the count. During the latter part of this scene the lord of Herouville seemed to hear and see nothing.
