"Have a shot," he invited with the suggestion of a thickening tongue. "Thanks, old hoss. Don't care if I do. That is, if you'll have one with me." They drank, and Drummond promptly ordered another. A lowering of his left eyelid gave the bartender his instructions, and a sprinkling of powder found its way into the glass that was thumped before Basil Filer.
The wound extended across the forehead above the eyebrows, but the ears were untouched. Skin-grafting was tried in this case but with no result, and the woman afterward lost an eye by exposure, from retraction of the eyelid. In some cases extensive wounds of the scalp heal without artificial aid by simply cicatrizing over.
Not even embarrassing, he meant to say. This chappie, living in a place like this, wouldn't bat an eyelid at the spectacle of a fellow trickling about the place in a bathing suit. They would have a good laugh about the whole thing. "I say, I hate to bother you dare say you're busy and all that sort of thing but would you mind if I popped in for half a second and used your 'phone?"
Throughout the eighteenth century the art of cly-faking held its own, though its reputation paled in the glamour of the highway. Now and again circumstances have driven it into eclipse. When the facile sentiment of the Early Victorian Era poised the tear of sympathy upon every trembling eyelid, the most obdurate was forced to provide himself with a silk handkerchief of equal size and value.
'How's this, my good sir, are you alone? he asked me, with a queer twitch of his left eyelid. 'Yes, I've come alone, I stammered. Sidorenko went off into a sudden guffaw and departed into the next room. I had never been in such a foolish position; it was too devilishly disgusting! But there was nothing to be done. I began walking up and down the room.
It was a heaven-sent opportunity for Fisher, who had been inventing some excuse for leaving the house. She handed him the letter and he read without a droop of eyelid the superscription: "T. X. Meredith, Esq., Special Service Dept., Scotland Yard, Whitehall." He put it carefully in his pocket and went from the room to change. Large as the house was Kara did not employ a regular staff of servants.
We withdrew a little space and ate deliberately, watching the bird and the dog with an interest that grew keener and keener as the meal progressed, while Old Ben stood like a rock, and the grouse's eye shone steadily out of the tangle of brakes. Nor did either move so much as an eyelid while we ate, and Ben's master smoked his pipe with quiet confidence.
They had two contemptuous camels who never lifted an eyelid when she raised her voice to them, but chewed calmly on, with faces turned impassively towards the New Jerusalem of camels, where viragoes are not; and several resigned asses who appeared to have handed their souls back to their Maker, because souls are but extra trammels in this place of sorrow.
A mustard plaster would probably fail to draw at all on one's heel or the palm of one's hand; while it is decidedly painful on one's neck or chest; and a mere speck of mustard inside the eyelid gives one positive torture for hours together.
A door opened in a green hillside, disclosing a porch which the nurse and her conductor entered. There the lady dropped three drops of a precious dew on the nurse's left eyelid, and they were admitted to a beautiful land watered with meandering rivulets and yellow with corn, where the trees were laden with fruits which dropped honey.
