His dark eyes were small and twinkling and he was so very nearsighted that it was necessary for him to look intently in order to see anything. At that moment a loud report startled them.

'Have the goodness to draw your chair a little nearer, and let me look at you, said Mrs Wititterly; 'I am so very nearsighted that I can't quite discern your features.
Six or eight of the loafers settled themselves handy to the door, so's they could peek in occasionally.
