Merriman's proposal was to try to find out when the Girondin was expected, then come the night before, bore a few eyeholes in the cask, and let one of them, properly supplied with provisions, get inside and assume watch. The other one would row away, rest and sleep during the day, and return on the following night, when they would exchange roles, and so on until the Girondin left.
Just then, indeed, there was a general movement up the pass, in the wide mouth of which all this scene took place, for suddenly three Fung chieftains appeared galloping toward us, one of whom was veiled with a napkin in which were cut eyeholes. So universal was this retreat, in fact, that we three on our camels, and the Child of Kings on her beautiful mare, found ourselves left alone.
He was pulling on operating gloves. His slanted eyes showed keen and watchful through the eyeholes of the mask he already wore, as he surveyed the preparations. Ominous Ku Sui looked, among his white-clad assistants. The Eurasian seemed to give an order, and a white figure turned and glanced off into the surrounding darkness, raising one hand. A door showed in faint outline as it opened.
They are disguised by the dark brown robes which cover them from head to foot, so that they can see their way only through the eyeholes in the hoods which hide their faces; but as they pass silently along, bending under the heavy crosses, or holding out before them scrolls bearing such words as, 'All they that see Me laugh Me to scorn, 'They pierced My hands and My feet, or, 'See if there be any sorrow like unto My sorrow, there are glimpses of delicate white hands grasping the hard wood of the crosses, and of small, shapely feet bare in the mud.
She's gone, extinguished there she is, under the penitent's hoodcap with eyeholes, before the faggots! and that's what she has married! a burning torment, and none of the joys of martyrdom. Oh! I'm not awake. But I never dreamed of such a thing as this not the hard, bare, lump-of-earth-fact: and that's the only thing to tell me I'm not dreaming now.
Standing there in military array, fully armed, they made rather a formidable body of fighters despite their paucity of numbers. Courage, eagerness, and joy still unalloyed by all the fatigues and perils of the long trek after adventure showed on every face. Even through the eyeholes of "Captain Alden's" mask, daring exultation glimmered.
You grip your pistol and look through the left-hand hole, you see the woman holding back the curtains, you see Martinez draw out the auger from the right-hand hole and lay it down. Now he leans forward, pressing his face to the completed eyeholes, you see the whites of his eyes, not three inches away. Quick! Pistol up! Ready to fire! No, no, through the left-hand hole where he fired."
He peered intently into the spectacled eyeholes of my cowl, and laid his hand on his sword-hilt. His small figure, tightly clothed in black velvet from chin to knee, swayed gently backwards and forwards in the light of the dim candle, and his grotesque shadow flitted over the ghostly walls of the great room.
Never a town of imposing size or stately architecture, see her now a battered hamlet of gaping walls, and shattered roofs, and wrecked chimneys; staring defiance through glassless windows like the blind eyeholes in the mouldered House that once has held the living thought of Man.
Dazzling light flooded the studio. Fandor, who could see through the eyeholes of the mask, supple as skin, stared about him with intense curiosity. This extraordinary studio revealed a blood-freezing spectacle. Facing him, immobile, rigid, was stationed a being whom Fandor had had a fleeting glimpse of two or three times in his life.
