But if you can give me the little now, and more when I have won it don't curl your lip at me, please: I'm trying to put it as mildly as I can." She was looking at him level-eyed, and he could have sworn that she was never calmer or more self-possessed. "I don't know why you should want my promise or any woman's on such conditions," she said evenly. "But I do," he insisted.

And from the men of the 'Navel of the World' Mecca we exacted greater tribute than even death!" The Master's voice held a quiet menace that by no means escaped Bara Miyan. Level-eyed, he gazed at the white man. Then he advanced two paces, and in a low voice demanded: "Abd el Rahman still lives?" "He lives, Bara Miyan." "Where is the Great Apostate?" "In our flying house, a prisoner." "Bismillah!

Monsieur," went on Carl, lazily lighting his own cigarette and staring into his companion's face with a look of level-eyed interest, "Monsieur has been praying ardently for opportunities, is it not so? 'I will humor this mad fool who motors about in the rain like an operatic comet! says Monsieur inwardly, 'for I am, of course, a stranger to him.

It was a clever painting of the Medusa, level-eyed, with a red mouth like a wound, and dimly seen, pale glimmering features, between the lazy writhing of dark snakes. The thing had fascinated Mary in her impressionable schoolgirl days, but now she tried to huddle the idea quickly out of her head, for it seemed disloyal and even disgusting in connection with her hostess.

If he had been a vainer man, he might have been aware that he, in his way, was as well worth looking at as she in hers. He was big and limber, in the full ripeness of his youth, sunburned and level-eyed. His life in ships had marked him as plainly as a branding-iron.

It seemed odd to think that this level-eyed girl's mother might have been his mother, if she had been made of stiffer metal, or if the west wind had blown that afternoon. He wondered if she knew. Not likely, he decided. It wasn't a story either Horace Gower or his wife would care to tell their children. So he did not try to tell her what he meant. He withdrew into his shell.

Not that Blount put it that way, either to Mrs. Beverley or to himself. He was a level-eyed, square-shouldered young man of an up-to-date world, and the stock from which he sprang was prosaic and practical rather than poetic or sentimental.

But when she seemed to be quite their equal in this school of the timorously clerical, she began to look at them level-eyed.... A busy, commonplace, soft-armed, pleasant, good little thing she was; glancing at them through eye-glasses attached to a gold chain over her ear, not much impressed now, slightly ashamed by the delight she took in winning their attention by brilliant recitations.... She decided that most of them were earnest-minded but intelligent serfs, not much stronger than the girls who were taking stenography for want of anything better to do.

She had a wild vision of other dances which she would give Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and pay the Lorrigans for everything they had done; for the books, for the schoolhouse, everything. She felt that then, and then only, could she face Lance Lorrigan level-eyed, cool, calm, feeling herself a match for him.

Jack Flatray could look at death level-eyed, and with an even pulse, because for him it was all in the day's work; but the prospect of it shook West's high-strung nerves. Nevertheless, he took command of the explanations, because it had been his custom for years to lead. MacQueen, his sardonic smile in play, sat back and let West do most of the talking.
