Aneta was herself going out; she was going out with Mademoiselle Laplage. They had some commissions to execute. The day was a foggy one, and they were both rather in a hurry. Nevertheless, Aneta stopped to say a kind word to Tildy. Tildy gazed at her with open-eyed admiration. Beautiful as the house was, this young lady was indeed a radiant and dazzling vision.
When all is known that I think can be known, it will be shown clearly that the State before an open-eyed community was able to murder a man with the instruments that the people have provided for bringing about justice. There isn't a scrap of testimony in either of the Mooney or Billings cases that wasn't perjured, except that of the man who drew the blue prints of Market Street."
"You confound me, you overwhelm me!" said Khlobuev, staring at his companion in open-eyed astonishment. "I can scarcely believe that your words are true, seeing that for such a trust an active, indefatigable man would be necessary. Moreover, how could I leave my wife and children unprovided for?"
John had reminded her, she could not honourably refuse to pay the price. She could not plead that she had mistaken her feelings towards him. She had pledged her word to him, open-eyed, and she was not free, as other women might be, to retract the promise she had given. Added to this, Roger's sheer, dominant virility had imbued her with a fatalistic sense of her total inability to escape him.
To be sure, they all began severe and businesslike with half-closed eyes, and the peculiar hostile expression art puts on; but then they always ended open-eyed, and so full and tender, that she, poor girl, who was all real gold, though sham brass, blushed and blushed, and did not know which way to look not to be scorched up by his eye like a tender flower, or blandly absorbed like the pearly dew.
The Germans are sheared like convicts." Peggy regarded him open-eyed and puzzle-browed. He enlightened her no further, but pursued the main proposition. "I wouldn't take a commission," said he, "if the War Office went mad and sank on its knees and beat its head in the dust before me." "In Heaven's name, why not?" "I've learned my place in the world," said Doggie.
By September it was a corpse, void of emotion, and scarcely hallowed by the memories of thirty years of happiness. Through its round-topped doorway passed furniture, and pictures, and books, until the last room was gutted and the last van had rumbled away. It stood for a week or two longer, open-eyed, as if astonished at its own emptiness. Then it fell.
"His father died of apoplexy," said she in a hoarse whisper, looking at me with a side-long, almost stealthy glance, not full and open-eyed. "This is something more than apoplexy," I remarked; still observing her closely. "The fall may have injured him," she suggested. "The blow on his temple has done the fearful work," said I.
But, contrary to the blandishment, Lilly lay awake, open-eyed, for quite a round hour after her mother's voice, broken into occasionally by the patient but sleepy tones of her father, had died down. From her window she could see quite a patch of sky, finely powdered with stars, the Dipper pricked out boldly.
She went ahead less tremulously now. "And I was feeling I wanted to get started at something. At something REALLY worth while, you know." Ed Martin nodded again. "And I thought, maybe, you could help me get started or something." She gazed at him with open-eyed trust, as if she expected him with a word to solve her undefined problem. "Get started? at writing, you mean?"
