He is one of the small, keen, kind-eyed men who emerge in the senior ranks of the army. One never meets them as subalterns, and they represent the army's best workmanship in the matter of moulding and finishing. We were still talking about the "pretty" little action when we entered the first hospital a small Dutch church.
One glance at their father, who introduced himself to Miss O'Neill as John Husted, relieved her mind greatly. His spontaneous delight at seeing them again and his choking gratitude to her for having looked after them were evidence enough that this kind-eyed man meant to be both father and mother to his recovered little folks.
Would not the God Who had been justly offended in her, His vowed servant, that day, exact to the last tittle the penalty? She knew He would. Rosary ended, the thin, kind-eyed little elderly priest preached, taking for the text of his discourse the Introit from the Office of Quinquagesima. "Esto mihi in Deum protectorum, et in locum refugii, ut salvum me facias."
Before she could begin again, applicant number two stood before them, a comfortable, kind-eyed girl, no longer very young but with efficiency written all over her, despite the shyness that beset her. Nancy rubbed her hands with satisfaction and looked at Betty, who beamed back at her.
"My wife will sure take your girl and welcome; don't even have to ask her," the kind-eyed old fellow assured Hilliard. "We'll be glad to have her for a couple of months. She'll like the kids. It'll be home for her. Yes, sir" he patted the excited traveler on the shoulder "you pile into the stage and don't you worry any.

No one mentioned the fact that he had been hurt; it was not spoken of, though they wished mightily he would tell them the story they had read luridly in the public prints. They were very good to him. One of them, in particular, a handsome, dark, kind-eyed girl, constituted herself at once his cicerone in Rouen gossip and his waiting-maid.
Still, it was nearer six than five when my panting horses drew up at the Cathedral Arms. There was no Dolly to receive me this time, but at the top of the stairs leading to our rooms I met the doctor. He was accompanied by a grey-haired, kind-eyed old gentleman in a frock-coat, with "London Specialist" written all over him. It was Sir James Fordyce. "Well?" I asked feverishly as I shook hands.
The first lieutenant, an active, kind-eyed looking officer, spoke to the men much in the same way as the commander of the cutter had done. When he came to Dick, he inquired whether he had been to sea before. "Only on board a lugger, sir," answered Dick.
There was a tiger in papier-mâché on the glass case that covered, the low counter a grave, kind-eyed tiger that waggled his head in a methodical manner; there were several crystal spheres, a china hand holding magic cards, a stock of magic fish-bowls in various sizes, and an immodest magic hat that shamelessly displayed its springs.
The only other persons at the tea-table the Meadowses having arrived late were an elderly man with long Dundreary whiskers, in a Panama hat and a white waistcoat, and a lady of uncertain age, plump, kind-eyed, and merry-mouthed, in whom Doris had at once divined a possible harbour of refuge from the terrors of the situation.
