"And haw languishing, Miss Lovel " sighed the Army. "Behold us then unanimously beseeching you aha, here comes Pevensey to add his supplication to ours." The Duke shot his ruffle, fixed his eyeglass and bowed. "Permit me, Miss Lovel, to add my petition! Vereker will spare you to us awhile, I am sure!" said he. "To behold a goddess is to be blessed; to hear her sing will be "
His host took the ambassador by the arm and led him into a retired corner. Monsieur de Lamborne was a tall, slight man, somewhat cadaverous-looking, with large features, hollow eyes, thin but carefully arranged grey hair, and a pointed grey beard. He wore a frilled shirt, and an eyeglass suspended by a broad, black ribbon hung down upon his chest.
Then Old Age said again, Come, let us walk down the street together, and offered me a cane, an eyeglass, a tippet, and a pair of over-shoes. No, much obliged to you, said I. I don't want those things, and I had a little rather talk with you here, privately, in my study.
I did not doubt, either, that his odd-looking eyeglass was a powerful magnifier which helped him in the trick. Still, we tried another deal, by way of experiment I wearing the ring; and even with the naked eye I was able to distinguish in every case the suit and pips of the card that was dealt me. "Why, that was almost dishonest," the Senator said, drawing back.
The Colonel put up his eyeglass and looked at her as she came down its length. "By Jove!" he thought to himself, "I didn't know that the clergyman's daughter was like this; nobody ever said so.

Do you know, for instance, that I don't care a damn whether I break my neck or not, and on the whole would rather that you did than didn't? You ought to know it. But I'm asking you." James kept his eyeglass to his eye. "I think you are talking nonsense," he said, "but I don't suppose you intend it for nonsense.
There was a moment when he frankly laughed out there was so little in his poor studio to appraise. Mrs. Rooth's wandering eyeglass and vague, polite, disappointed, bent back and head made a subject for a sketch on the instant: they gave such a sudden pictorial glimpse of the element of race. He found himself seeing the immemorial Jewess in her hold up a candle in a crammed back shop.
'Our next scene is called "The Rival Candidates, or, a Scene during the General Election". On the left you will observe, standin' up in a motor car, a swell bloke with a eyeglass stuck in one eye, and a overcoat with a big fur collar and cuffs, addressing the crowd: this is the Honourable Augustus Slumrent, the Conservative candidate.
On the contrary, he lives in Mayfair. He does not wear great goblin spectacles that magnify his eyes to moons or diminish his neighbours to beetles. When he is more dignified he wears a single eyeglass; when more intelligent, a wink.
He foresaw what was coming, and prepared his mind for a vigorous defence. "Did you ever steal yourself?" asked Casimir, turning suddenly on Jean-Marie, and for the first time employing a single eyeglass which hung round his neck. "Yes, sir," replied the boy, with a deep blush. Casimir turned to the others with pursed lips, and nodded to them meaningly. "Hey?" said he; "how is that?"
