One had already seen his name; a near-sighted fellow went searching from table to table; and here and there one boy called to another to point out what his sharp eyes had detected. On every table stood a Stolle, the Saxon Christmas bread called in Keilhau Schuttchen, and a large plate of nuts and cakes, the gift of the institute.
Duncan, looking very hard at Cynthia in a near-sighted way, and, not knowing in the least who she was; "you haven't seen Senator and Mrs. Meade, have you, Janet? They were to be here at eight o'clock." "No," said Janet, turning again to Cynthia and scarcely hearing the question. "Janet hasn't seen them, Dudley," said Mrs. Duncan, going up to Mr.
Only the new-comer was perfectly calm he was used to it. Near-sighted, he looked indifferently out of his spectacles, now one side, now the other, and told bits of news while smoking one cigarette after another. He was young, tall, and flat-chested. He had a lean face, long, smooth, chestnut-coloured hair, and a scant beard. His flat round cap, reddish in the sun, gave him the look of an artisan.
The Bad Boy and His Pa in a Railroad Wreck Pa Rescues the "Other Freaks" They Spend the Night on a Meadow A Near-Sighted Claim Agent Settles for Damages Pa Plays Deaf and Dumb and Gets Ten Thousand. It has come at last. Everybody about the show expects that the show has got to have a railroad wreck every season, and all hands lay awake nights on the cars to brace themselves for the shock.
"How long have you known me, old-timer?" "Quite a while, my son." "You know that I get my living by doing the best I can?" "Yes." "Did you ever know me to steal anything from a blind man? Or even one that was near-sighted?" "No-o." "Then don't worry about this Hopwood." "But he ain't blind except in the Scriptural sense." "Think not, eh? Listen! That bird can't see as far as the sixteenth pole.
He could certainly trot very fast, but that was the best pace he could accomplish, and had we anything like a fair start, I could distance him; and so convinced did he become of this, that the moment he found me abreast of him, he would give up the race in despair. Considering this and other infirmities, for he was stone deaf and very near-sighted, he was highly creditable to his profession.
"Will you kindly explain to this court how you could see in a dark hall that Miss Newton 'looked excited and frightened, and very pale, when you have just testified that you are too near-sighted to have seen so large an object as a bottle or a pocket-book in Miss Newton's hands?" "I do-don't understand?" quavered Mrs. Lewis. The judge advocate repeated the question with more emphasis.
He was near-sighted, and therefore not formed by nature for a painter; he tried, however, how far he could advance, and sometimes persuaded his friends to sit. A picture of Betterton, supposed to be drawn by him, was in the possession of Lord Mansfield. If this was taken from the life, he must have begun to paint earlier, for Betterton was now dead.
But, if Cousin Benedict was very near-sighted, he had at least very acute hearing, so acute even that he could recognize one insect from another by the intensity of its buzz, and it seemed to him that this one was unknown, though it could only be produced by a giant of the species. "What is this hexapode?" Cousin Benedict asked himself.
Quite unknown to myself, I was, while a boy, under a hopeless disadvantage in studying nature. I was very near-sighted, so that the only things I could study were those I ran against or stumbled over. When I was about thirteen I was allowed to take lessons in taxidermy from a Mr.
