"No wonder they told me to buy light clothing." "Yeah, it's sure hot. We'd go mostly naked, except the actinic's really fierce. Be sure to wear a hat all the time outdoors, and light gloves. If your eyes start to smart, wear dark goggles." "Thanks for the tips, Chum, I appreciate 'em. I'd begun to notice skin itching, but thought it might be this jungle."
Hodgson wished to see him in his private room. "He can make a funny face, no doubt about it," commented one gentleman, as "Goggles" left the room. "I defy him to make a funnier one than God Almighty's made for him," responded the massive gentleman. "There's a deal in luck," observed, with a sigh, another, a tall, handsome young gentleman possessed of a rich bass voice.
The straighteners, she explained to Maisie, were put on for the sake of others, whom, as she believed, they helped to recognise the bearing, otherwise doubtful, of her regard; the rest of the melancholy garb could only have been put on for herself. With the added suggestion of her goggles it reminded her pupil of the polished shell or corslet of a horrid beetle.
The eyes of this personage are protected by round plates with holes in the middle, held on by a strap round the head, like the coloured glasses used in the United States to keep off the glare of the sun, and known as "goggles." In front of this figure are sculptured a rabbit and some unintelligible ornaments or weapons. "Rabbit" may have been his name.
Didn't the breeches and goggles and whiskers and hand-bag and every blessed thing turn to ghost-stuff? Everything it had on turned, didn't it? It shows that the reason its boots turned too was because it still had them on after it started to go ha'nting around, and if that ain't proof that them blatherskites didn't get the boots, I'd like to know what you'd CALL proof." Think of that now.
"I do indeed," Valerie admitted. "Say, girls! You all know the two that are always together, the one with goggles that we've dubbed the 'medicine chest, and her chum who wears all the rainbow colors whenever and wherever she appears?" "Surely, but what are their names?" inquired a pale, sickly-looking girl who had joined the group.
'Twas a strong taste to last five years, though my reminder will go with me many a year longer. Here they come now." As the sergeant speaks a little group of officers issues from the battalion commander's tent. Foremost among them, in loose flapping raiment and broad-brimmed hat and green goggles, the rotund and portly shape of Major Plummer, the paymaster.
She didn't even grasp the arm of the seat; she merely gazed up into Cousin Robert's face with a sweetly feminine look, which said, "My one hope is in you, but I trust you utterly." It was enough to melt the heart of a stone giant, even when seen through goggles. I had an idea that this giant was not made of stone, and I wondered what the fiancée of my cousin twice removed was made of.
He helped her into the car and drew from his pocket a light pair of goggles. "Now these, and you're all hunky-dory!" "Will I need these, too?" she asked incredulously. "Will you!" he cried. "You wouldn't ask that question if you knew the horse we've got hitched to this benzine buggy today. He's got wings believe me! It's all I can do to hold him on the ground sometimes."
This villain, who had a most appropriate name, unmentionable to ears polite, completed his charms with a great pair of blue goggles. The red stripes upon his horse signified how many horses he had taken the red hands, the number of prisoners. The names of these fellows, as translated for us by the interpreter, were odd enough.
