And now, Mytis and Nite, you had better retire to your own cabin to rest; for though you have both kept up wonderfully, all this has been a great strain for you, and you are both looking fagged and heavy-eyed. To-night you can sleep in comfort; for, for the present, I think that there is no occasion whatever for the slightest anxiety."
Countless times he rolled out of his own bunk, heavy-eyed and stiff, to readjust the screen when it had blown down, to put more wood on his fire, to make sure that Gloria was covered and warm, sleeping heavily, and not dead. His nerves were frayed. In the long night his fears grew, misshapen and grotesque. Within his soul he prayed mutely that when morning came Gloria would be alive.
On the evening of the sixth day a splintered, battered poling- boat with its seams open swung in to the bank where O'Neil's men were encamped, and its three occupants staggered out. They were gaunt and stiff and heavy-eyed. Even Tom Slater's full cheeks hung loose and flabby. But the leader was alert and buoyant; his face was calm, his eyes were smiling humorously.
Clouds came up; at midnight when they reached the lower slope, it was raining. Later they came to the outskirts of the village of Paris, to a grove of mighty oaks, and here the brigade was halted for the night. The men fell upon the ground and slept. No food was taken, and no sentries were posted. An aide, very heavy-eyed, asked if guard should not be set. "No, sir," answered the general.
I also was heavy-eyed, and presently the Wild Hunter clapped his hands and summoned a leather-skinned old Indian to whom he gave brief low command in the Mewan Indian tongue, as I was afterwards informed by Big Pete, then turning to us he said in his fascinating soft voice: “It will probably be a novelty for both of you gentlemen to again sleep in a bed between sheets and under a roof.
Presently there came up the winding road three men, apparently father and sons, low-browed, heavy-eyed, brutal looking creatures, who followed the foot path up toward the house, and glaring sullenly at the young men, shuffled around to the back door. "Evidently mine host and his sons," remarked Houston.
She bore it bravely, but it was strange to see her looking so pale and heavy-eyed. But these few days of suffering were teaching her many things. Eunice and Cricket heard the sound of the children's voices as they turned the corner of the house. "Oh, they're all right," said Eunice, relieved. Just back of the house, in a tiny little shed, built especially for it, stood a big barrel of kerosene.
On the morning of the fifth day, however, the Queen returned, and although she knew what had happened she summoned me before her to hear the story from my lips. I found her in her study with three or four of her ladies. Catherine looked pale and heavy-eyed, and there were hard lines about her mouth. It was said she had never smiled since the day of the masque.
A man his face close-pressed against them peered through the interwoven iron rods from within. Jaimihr, in a rose-pink pugree still, but not at all the swaggering cavalier who pranced, high-booted, through the streets a down-at-heel prince, looking slovenly and heavy-eyed from too much opium sat in a long chair under the cloister which faced the barred stone door.
At the approach of the carriage, however, doors were thrown open, servants appeared, and on the steps, trembling and heavy-eyed, stood Susan Delafield. She looked timidly at Julie, and then, as they passed into the great central hall, the two kissed each other with tears. "He is in his room, waiting for you.
