Then a temptation gripped him, and, as he took another "eyeful" sweep of the azure arch overhead, to again find the coast clear, he tortured himself with the vision of a pot of boiling coffee to go with his otherwise dry midday snack of lunch. "Huh! no use talkin', I jest can't stand it any longer got to have my coffee if I want to keep happy as a clam at high tide.
"Anyhow, from now on we're our own janitors," Daisy said. He nodded. "Just leaves three families besides us loyal to this glass death trap. Not countin' ghosts." He sighed. Then, "You like to move below, Daisy?" he asked softly, putting his arm lightly across her shoulders. "Get a woozy eyeful of the bright lights and all for a change? Be a rat for a while? Maybe we're getting too old to be bats.
We seemed to be travelling through vast, lonely places, though it was but a part of Galloway, and all Scotland is but small just large enough to give an eyeful of beauty always. It was no more than seven easy miles to Castle Douglas, a little modern town all laid out in rectangles.
Proudly she adjusted a filmy flounce to a better line. "And such lovely, lovely slippers!" The slippers were indeed to be observed by one and all. The short dancing frock was in that year.

If the woman in the wagon was "scared to death" at the sight of the prairie, I surely had cause to be afraid; but I was not. I was uplifted. I felt the same sense of freedom, and the greatness of things, that came over me when I first found myself able to take in a real eyeful in driving my canal-boat through the Montezuma Marsh, or when I first saw big waters at Buffalo.
Maybe Marie would wish then that she had thought twice about quitting him just on her mother's say-so. He'd like to go buzzing into San Jose behind the wheel of a car like the one Foster had fooled him into stealing. And meet Marie, and her mother too, and let them get an eyeful.
