There are a few capital lines in this key on the last spasm of the battle before alluded to. Surely nothing could be better, in its own way, than the fish in 'The Last Cruise of the Arrogant, 'the shadowy, side-faced, silent things, that come butting and staring with lidless eyes at the sunken steam-engine.
"Ain't seen no stranger befo' to-day, but you-uns," she declared. Her eyes seemed as lidless as a snake's. They did not blink at all. "Then how did you know that our steamer was blown up?" the ensign queried. "Old Mag knows a heap other folks don't know," croaked the woman. The rest of the party came up and heard this statement. Jemmy gave her one look and crossed his fingers.
Some of his training had been in the use of his eyes to control animals under stress. So he ran with his arm about Dhoop Ki Dhil's shoulders, the flame of his volitional power burning straight up into those pitiless, lidless eyes till he came into a sentiency that had no cognisance of time.
The unwinking stare of eyes lidless eyes that yet ever succeed in hiding looked out under well-marked, level eyebrows, suggesting a vision that included the motives and purposes of his very heart. They looked up grandly, understood why he was there, and then slowly withdrew their mysterious, penetrating gaze.
Instantly the big, round head collapsed, almost as a punctured balloon collapses, as a grayish, semi-fluid matter spurted from it. The protruding eyes, apparently lidless, merely stared, the sphincter-like muscle of the mouth opened and closed, and then the head toppled from the body to the ground.
The foreign-born woman made her sit down beside her, and offered her bitter, strong tea in delicate, lidless cups, with handles bent like a twisted flower-branch. "I have been meaning to call for a long time, Mrs. Li," said the foreign-born woman. "The great wife will receive thee with much honour," Dong-Yung answered. "I am so glad you came with your husband."
The flat head, the lidless, baleful eyes, the grey-green, diamond- barred skin of the neck were unmistakable. "It's a rattler!" shrieked one of the rebels. They sprang back; the other children rose, panic-stricken. The schoolmarm spoke very quietly "Don't move! The snake will not hurt any of you." As she spoke she flicked again the lid of the basket. It fell on the head of the serpent.
Here are neither figures nor inscriptions; nothing but a granite sarcophagus, lidless and mutilated. But the very weight of the materials was a more serious danger. To prevent the sepulchral chamber from being crushed by the three hundred feet of stone which stood over it, five low hollow spaces, one over the other, were left above it.
All along the shelves were rows of lidless boxes, in which pigeons, showing their motley plumage, crowded closely on their stiffened legs. Every now and then a tremor ran along the moving mass; and then the birds settled down again, and nothing was heard but their confused, subdued notes.
Certainly Behemoth must have perceived what was so plain even to a human critic, that here was the first dog this man had ever patted in his life. Yet, being a pleasure-dog, he was wholly civil about it. In fact, after a lidless scrutiny unembarrassed by any recollections of his last meeting with this young man, he declared for friendship.
