As he said this, he leered up into my face, as if to read my thoughts; but I governed my features pretty well, and thus, I think, deceived him. "Perhaps you know this?" he said. "No," I replied. "I am connected with no mysteries." "Not with the appearance of the ghost last night?" I looked at him in astonishment.
Countless dogs fought under the feet of passers-by, and over all leered the sardonic face of Jean Bart, pirate and privateer. Sara Lee went out daily, but never far. And she practiced French with the maid, after this fashion: "Draps de toile," said the smiling maid, putting the linen sheets on the bed. Sara Lee would repeat it some six times. "Taies d'oreiller," when the pillows came.
The cook leered at me, while another saucy slut handed me a great lump of dry bread, and a black-jack with some dregs of the smallest beer at the bottom. What had I done to merit such uncivil treatment? By and by comes Mr.
His niece, he said, had expressed the hope I would do so in my kindness. He was evidently anxious that I should, for though he seemed to have forgotten nine-tenths of his last night's opinions and the whole of his indignation, yet he evidently feared to be sent to the right-about. "You told me he was very much in love," he concluded slyly, and leered in a sort of bucolic way.
At Whitehall he suffered rebuffs and insults that found a climax in the words addressed to him by the Lord Admiral, to whom he went to give an account of his office. "Base fellow, darest thou who art the contempt and scorn of men offer thyself in my presence?" For a man of honour there was but one course. Sir Judas was not a man of honour. He carried his grievance to the King. James leered at him.
So, although the weird white woman who leered after him so strangely as he walked with his most lordly air out of the little garden, and down the darkening road towards Gylingden, could not say, he resolved to make trial again. In the meantime Rachel had arrived at Brandon Hall. Dorcas whom, if the truth were spoken, she would rather not have met encountered her on the steps.
The other was sitting in a corner, with his hat balanced precariously over his left ear, gazing superciliously upon his fellows and, incidentally, winning everything in sight. He leered up at Chip and fingered ostentatiously his three stacks of blues. "What'n thunder do I want to go t' camp for?" he demanded, in answer to Chip's suggestion.
You would no longer be able to spend three parts of your time in 'old man' Smith's filthy bar. Your conduct is laudable, John it is worthy of you." Lablache had expected another outburst of anger, but John only leered in response to the other's contempt. Drunk as he was, the rancher saw the absurdity of the attack. "Piffle!" he exclaimed.
He felt the mystery more in the hubbub and restless turmoil of the day than in the night's silence and inactivity. He was glad when the stroke of six gave him an excuse to leave the room, and gladder yet when in doing so, he ran upon an old woman from a neighbouring room, who no sooner saw him than she leered at him and eagerly remarked: "Not much sleep, eh? We didn't think you'd like it.
What do you mean by acting this way?" demanded Mortimer, the shock of whose rough handling had seemed to sober temporarily. "What do you mean? I demand an apology! That's what I do. Ain't I 'titled to 'pology, fellers?" and he appealed to his chums. "Sure you are. Make the little beggar 'pologize!" leered one. "If he was at Yale, now, we'd haze him good and proper." "Yale!" cried Tom Hatfield.
