It fell in two graceful festoons far below his chin, with a little eyelet curled into each tip, and, like the ringlets, it showed the blue-black lustre of the crow's wing. In the full sunlight, at times, it became almost a royal purple. Later observation taught the little boy that this splendid hue was applied at intervals by Cousin Bill J. himself.
To our great joy, in the hollow heart of it there was tucked away the tiny compass Simmons had written for from Vehnmoor just before our second escape. With it were four American quarters. Not anticipating this good luck, we had exercised our ingenuity to construct a rude compass of our own out of a safety-razor blade and an eyelet from my boot.
As she spoke she pulled the tag off a shoe-string because it would not go through the eyelet. "What is that?" asked Fanny, in a hard voice. "I think it is cruelty and tyranny," said Ellen, pulling the rough end of the string through the eyelet. "I suppose the times are pretty hard," ventured Andrew; but Ellen cut him short.
The circumference of the garter would suggest this, for your neck is thin, and the garter fits you. But then again I notice I notice most things that the garter is capable of being much enlarged. These small silver-rimmed eyelets, of which I count five, are proof of that. And now I observe that the fifth eyelet is worn out, as though the tongue of the clasp were accustomed to lie there.
A flower was in his buttonhole, a monocle in his eye, and the gold head of his jointed walking-stick was sucked into the red eyelet of his puckered-up lips. "Oh, yez! Oh, yez!" sang out derisively a bedraggled female on the edge of the crowd as this utterly unrecognizable edition of Cleek stepped out upon the pavement. "Oh, yez! Oh, yez! 'Ere's to give notice!
There was a row of cells on each side, the doors of which were locked. There was a hole in each door eyelet, so called of about an inch in diameter. There was no one in this corridor except an old warden with a wrinkled, sad face. "Where is Menshov's cell?" asked the assistant. "The eighth one on the left." "Are these occupied?" asked Nekhludoff. "All but one." "May I look in?" asked Nekhludoff.
Then they saw a sight that sent the blood to their hearts, for there behind them, leaping down one by one on to that narrow footway, were men armed with naked swords, six or eight of them, all of whom, they noted, had strips of linen pierced with eyelet holes tied beneath their helms or leather caps, so as to conceal their faces. "A snare! a snare!" cried Wulf, drawing his sword.
She saw the burnished gold of the plain and the luminous sky, and between these two a figure that stood by a low brown tent, with the sunlight falling full on its noble brow and the straight profile turned towards them. Doolga wrung Silka's hand, that she still clutched, as they knelt side by side on the sheepskin looking through the eyelet.
She gave a sidewise glance at Ellen, and went on, making her fingers fly. Mr. Flynn showed Ellen what to do. She had to tie the shoes together with bits of twine, laced through eyelet holes. Ellen took a piece of twine and tied it in as Flynn watched her. He laughed pleasantly. "You'll do," he said, approvingly.
And eyelet work and French knots and run lace that's what the big girls who come to see Polly talk about. But I like books, and studies, and different countries. I'd like to travel. But I don't know that I want to be a sea captain." They found some queer old houses that were odd enough. Mr.
