The teeth were dazzlingly white, but sharp and thin, and the eye-teeth were much longer than the rest.
He snarled something like a dog, and I remember that his eye-teeth were large, like fangs, and that they impressed me tremendously. His conduct served only the more to infuriate the pigs. He broke off twigs and small branches and flung them down upon our enemies. He even hung by one hand, tantalizingly just beyond reach, and mocked them as they gnashed their tusks with impotent rage.
A Northern correspondent described how, sitting with him by the camp-fire, General Meade had said: "It was like pulling out my eye-teeth not to have had a fight!" Did he say that? Then he was out-generalled. But he had succeeded in retreating safely. He was behind the works of Centreville: Lee had stopped the pursuit. There was nothing more, indeed, to be done.
I was angry, not because I was to have been cheated, for I have been repeatedly and atrociously cheated and only smiled, but because the rascal dared attempt on me such a threadbare, ragged, shoddy trick as that. Do I look like a rough-hewn, unseasoned backwoodsman? Have I the air of never having read a newspaper? Is there a patent innocence of eye-teeth in my demeanor? Oh, Jeru! Jeru!
You remember then they got a youngster in their power and nearly trimmed him down to his eye-teeth!" Farriss sat reflecting deeply, chewing the stem of his dead pipe. "There's something going on that's as plain as a red banner-head. You've got a peach of a start, so far, and done good pussyfooting you, too, Stella but there's one thing that conflicts with your hypothesis " The two leaned forward.
And the two beauties walked away together, while the crowd stared in speechless astonishment. "He won't make much out uv that boy, that's one comfort," said Black Tom, who had partially recovered from his wonder. "You ken bet yer eye-teeth that his pockets wouldn't pan out five dollars." "Then what does he want uv him?" queried Slim Sam.
He's an awful old thief, and he's no idea of being anything else. I wa'n't a-goin' to set there and hear him makin' b'lieve to the Lord. If anybody's heart is in it, I ain't a-goin' to hender 'em; I'm a professor, and I ain't ashamed of it, week-days nor Sundays neither. I can't bear to see folks so pious to meeting, and cheat yer eye-teeth out Monday morning.
Lord, if they were located down in these here Cumberland marshes, how the mosquitoes would tickle them up, wouldn't they? They'd set 'em scratching thereabouts, as an Irishman does his head, when he's in sarch of a lie. Them 'ere fellers cut their eye-teeth afore they ever sot foot in this country, I expect.
Look here, there's South America, or some of those islands in the gulf with a black-and-tan population and a few white mongrels holding on to civilization by their eye-teeth; what's to hinder our setting up shop for ourselves? Two or three hundred Americans could walk off with an island like Hayti, for instance and it's black with niggers.
The four laughed a good deal, and when the tall woman smiled she lost something of her fascination, for she had large, slightly prominent eye-teeth which went far to spoil her handsome red mouth. The others paid great attention to her, and to the big man with the sad eyes. In loud voices, as if they wished people to hear, they constantly addressed these two as Lord and Lady Dauntrey.
