A few days after the Prince ran away, and the day before the one on which the Christmas presents were to be gathered, the nearsighted father went out into the wax doll field again; but this time he had his spectacles on, and could see just as well as any one, and even a little better.
Motley to "The North American Review" is to be found in the number for October, 1849. Its spirit is thoroughly American, and its estimate of the Puritan character is not narrowed by the nearsighted liberalism which sees the past in the pitiless light of the present, which looks around at high noon and finds fault with early dawn for its long and dark shadows.
You'll come over to me in the city?" She silently nodded her head. "When? Try to do it as soon as possible." And he added in a tender voice: "I'll be anxious for you; yes, indeed!" She looked at him in surprise. What was she to him? With bent head, smiling in embarrassment, he stood before her, dressed in a simple black jacket, stooping, nearsighted. "Have you money?" he asked, dropping his eyes.
But, before his head could touch the rug, he reared it and half of his small body from the floor and focused his nearsighted eyes on the driveway. At the same time, his tail began to wag a thumping welcome. Now, by day, a dog cannot see so far nor so clearly as can a human. But by night, for comparatively short distances, he can see much better than can his master.
But I should like you just as well if your connections had not looked down on Irving. Are they so very high and mighty?" "Oh, dear, no. Much like other people. My aunts are the dearest old ladies, just a little nearsighted, you know, about seeing people that are not well, of course, they live in a rather small world.
Nor was Aleck Douglas nearsighted; he saw the movement and his bearded underlip met his shaven underlip in a straight line. "Ye do weel to be reachin' for the gun, Mister Lorrigan. I dinna carry aye weapon save the truth." Tom flushed. "Blame your oatmeal soul, if I reached for my gun, you wouldn't be telling me about it!" he exploded. "Carry the truth, do yuh?
Nearsighted people should be especially careful to avoid eyestrain, and should not work by artificial light. Optic atrophy is an eye disease very baffling to oculists, sapping the vision slowly but surely, as a rule, but occasionally destroying eyesight in a very short time. Electricians and those working in chemical laboratories are susceptible to optic atrophy.
Then the man looked down at her and smiled. Suzanna decided that she liked him, but she wished his smile was more of a real one, one that should light his face. She did not know the word, but he looked, despite his smile, cynical, rather weary. Yes, she knew she should like him, for in some indefinite way he reminded her of her father. Was it the brown, rather nearsighted eyes?
This incident is here recorded for the betterment of the Young, to show them that things are not always what they seem. Samuel Johnson, I have said, was a Grind of the pure type. He was so nearsighted that he fell over chairs in drawing-rooms, and so awkward that his long arms occasionally brushed the bric-a-brac from mantels. No lady's train was safe if he was in the room.
She miscalculated the distance or else her nearsighted baby eyes failed to take account of the four-foot drop to the gravel drive below. Too late, she tried to check her awkward rush. And, for a moment, her fat little body swayed perilously on the brink.
