He never rushes at his food ravenously, as do so many other creatures. Place a worm near him and you will see. He inspects the worm casually, first with one eye and then with the other, as who would say: "Luncheon? Certainly. Delighted, I'm sure." Then he sits placidly awhile, as though thinking of something else altogether.
During this operation two other men came out of the building, one an Italian carabineer in epaulettes and cocked hat, while the other, tall and shrewd-faced, was in mufti. The latter was the agent of French police who inspects all travellers leaving France by road. The chauffeur realized that the moment was a critical one.
He saw himself charming and handsome, as he had been when he was loved! Then, drawing the light nearer, he looked at himself more closely, as one inspects a strange thing with a magnifying glass, tracing the wrinkles, discovering those frightful ravages, which he had not perceived till now.
The clerk paused, and inspected me in the compassionate way in which one inspects a respectable person who is found in doubtful circumstances; then he said 'It's all right; I know what sort of a room you want. Used to clerk at the St. James, in New York. An unpromising beginning for a fraudulent career. We started to the supper room, and met two other men whom I had known elsewhere.
When a soul draws a body in the great lottery of life, where every one is sure of a prize, such as it is, the said soul inspects the said body with the same curious interest with which one who has ventured into a "gift enterprise" examines the "massive silver pencil-case" with the coppery smell and impressible tube, or the "splendid gold ring" with the questionable specific gravity, which it has been his fortune to obtain in addition to his purchase.
Rohan's smuggling operations. He is disgraced. The Countess Lamotte. The queen's jewelry. Boehmer, the crown jeweler. The diamond ear-rings. Change in the queen's life. The diamond necklace. The queen inspects the necklace. Answer of their majesties. Boehmer's embarrassment. His interview with the queen. The queen's remarks. Boehmer's confusion. Alleged disposal of the necklace.
A fellah's neck in a slippernoose at one eend of a halter, 'n' a hors on th' full spring at t' other eend!" He looked at him from' head to foot as a naturalist inspects a new specimen. His clothes had suffered in his fall, especially on the leg which had been caught under the horse. "Hullo! look o' there, naow! What's that 'ere stickin' aout o' y'r boot?"

"Hullo! look o' there, naow! What's that 'ere stickin' aout o' y'r boot?" It was nothing but the handle of an ugly knife, which Abel instantly relieved him of.
It is also proved in everyday life that each one inspects the physiognomy of those he comes in contact with, and first of all secretly tries to discover their moral and intellectual character from their features.
He next gets into the pit under his engine, with the proper tools, and inspects every portion of it, trying every nut and pin within his reach from below. Then he walks around the engine, and particularly notices if the oiling apparatus is exactly adjusted. Some parts require, for example, four drops of oil every minute, and he must see that the apparatus is set so as to yield just that quantity.
