Lord Fallowfeild appealed to me against myself which appeared to me slightly humorous as one man of the world to another. That was an eye-opener. It was likewise a profitable lesson. I promptly laid it to heart. And it is exclusively from the point of view of the man of the world that I propose to regard myself, and my circumstances, and my personal peculiarities, in future.
Well, it was an eye-opener, I must say; for I hadn't seen her for more than two minutes together, and when we did meet, I found her to be just a jolly little American chassis, slim and shapely, and as full of "go" as a schoolgirl on a roundabout.
Part of the information was an eye-opener; I wished I had known it when dad was handing out that roast to me I rather think I could have made him cry enough. I tagged the information and laid it away for future reference.
One man says the first thing you need if you're going fishing is a good "snort" of whisky; another says that a good "snifter" is the very thing; and the others agree that no man can fish properly without "a horn," or a "bracer" or an "eye-opener." Each man really decides that he himself won't take any. But he feels that, in a collective sense, the "boys" need it. So it was with us.
The Dwarf paid no attention to that, but gave her another eye-opener with the pin. It went in about an inch, judging from what the Female Samson said when she described her sufferings, and it must have hurt her pretty bad; but she was full of pluck and bound to carry out her performance to the end.
This salutary truth had been arrived at, of course, by many other channels. The scandalous arrangement between the Front Benches which forced the Insurance Act down our throats was an eye-opener for the great masses of the people. So was the cynical action of the politicians in the matter of Chinese Labour after the Election of 1906.
If all he says is true, the Boche Emma Gee is booked for an eye-opener in a few weeks' time." That evening a select party of sight-seers were driven to a secluded spot behind the battle line. Here they were met by Master Osborne, obviously inflated with some important matter. "I've got leave from my C.O. to show you the sights, sir," he announced to Colonel Kemp.
"Even golf?" she inquired mischievously. "Even golf, for a beginner and and a woman; you've got the swing in an astonishingly short time. In fact, you've been something of an eye-opener to me," he declared. "If I had been betting, I should have placed the odds about twenty to one against your coming from the West." This Eastern complacency, although it did not lower Mr.
"It's like having died and awakened in a new atmosphere, where even the people are different. It's it's quite an inspiration." Jock kept the hand, delicate as a woman's, in his strong, rough palm. "You're somewhat of an eye-opener yourself," he said. "I've always held that mixing is learning on both sides.
Standing there at the wheel, with one eye upon Captain Swope and the other upon my work, I found I owned a full measure of rueful thoughts. The Golden Bough was an eye-opener to me, used though I was to hard ships and hard men. I wished I had not shown myself such a hard case back there in the Swede's. I cursed myself for the vainglorious fool I was for having put myself in such a hole.
