But you're sure you're not offended?"
"Slap-up wines, and the right sort of company. Must have been an eye-opener for you." Arnold nodded. He was not in the least anxious to discuss the events of the previous evening with Mr. Jarvis. The latter, however, came a little nearer to him. He took off his gold-rimmed spectacles and wiped them carefully. "Now I should like to know," he said, "exactly how Mrs. Weatherley struck you?"
Thirty fellows, dressed up in a martial style, in three rows of ten each, stood with glittering drawn swords. The sight was an eye-opener, indeed. The space between the rows measured about two feet, and that between the men might have been even less. One stood apart from the group. He was similarly dressed but instead of a drawn sword, he carried a drum hung about his chest.
This declaration, signed by a respected citizen, soon leaked into publicity. Taken in conjunction with the discovery of his money it was an eye-opener to the whole community, and to nobody more than to the judge himself. Signor Malipizzo argued, with his usual penetration, that Muhlen had intended to return to his quarters as he had always done of late.
His views on drugs and their real value as expressed in this article should be an eye-opener to those good people who believe that we of the Nature Cure school are altogether too radical, extreme, and somewhat cranky. However, what Dr. Osler says regarding the "New School" is true only of a few advanced members of the medical profession.
Stated very simply, it was this: Mr. Rasselyer-Brown drank. It was not meant that he was a drunkard or that he drank too much, or anything of that sort. He drank. That was all.

Ridgett chatted gaily together; and Dale observed, not without satisfaction, that the deputy patently admired Mavis. "Yes," he thought, "it must be an eye-opener for him or anybody else to come up those stairs and find a postmaster's wife with all the education and manners of a lady, and as pretty as a bunch of primroses into the bargain."

"I feel exactly the same in regard to the stage, Mrs Clay, but I like concerts, when the singers just come out and sing do you not?" "That ain't so bad, I admit." "You would not object to Dawn singing on a platform, would you?" "No; doesn't she often sing on the platform in Noonoon?
A group of men on the sidewalk were talking, and she paused to hear one say: "To see that young chap Stirling handling Maguire was an eye-opener." Another man laughed, rather a deep, quiet laugh. "Maguire understands everything but honesty," he said. "You can always beat him with that." Miss De Voe would have like to stay and listen, but there were too many men. So the ladies entered the carriage.
Per cent. water Watermelon .98 Cabbage .92 Carrots .83 Fish .81 Cucumbers .97 Beets .88 Apples .80 Meat .75 That was an eye-opener.
