He lost his balance ten feet from Leyden's chair, recovered himself with a damp hiccough and maudlin apology, then darted forward and sprawled among the hilarious group with hands outstretched for the table to support himself. Mumbling incoherently, he slowly raised himself and glared owlishly around, caught sight of the picture in Leyden's hand, and grabbed for it.
Am I your slave?" "Go down and do your work like a sensible man," was the reply. At these words the engineer took umbrage at once, and, scowling fiercely, removed his greasy jacket and flung his cap on the deck. He then finished the brandy which he had brought up with him, and gazed owlishly at the Kentish shore. "I'm going to have a wash," he said loudly, and, sitting down, removed his boots.
Some thought of the same sort may well have troubled Nogam's mind as he sat in an otherwise untenanted third-class compartment blinking owlishly over the example of Victor's command of the intricacies of Chinese writing. He was happily free of surveillance for the first time in his waking hours of many days.
Richard started, and his mind flapped and struggled like a trapped bird to escape the meshes of the wine, to the end that he might convincingly defend himself from such an imputation so dangerously true.

He had no retort handy, so he contented himself with watching the approach of the boat. "Some men are never satisfied," she said owlishly. "If I were a successful dramatist, such as you are, a public office would look rather tawdry."
Jacky's eyes became still more owlishly wide, and his face graver than ever. He had never seen him in this condition before indeed, Jacky's experience of life beyond the nursery being limited, he had never seen any one in such a case before. "I say, Peter, are you desprit blow'd?" "Desprit," sighed Peter. Jacky paused and gazed at his companion for nearly a minute.

Some hint of Jack's discontent, or rather of his vague dream of flight, came into Dick's busy head, and when one day they were tramping down by the James together, he said, owlishly: "I say, Jack, when Vincent goes, let us clear out!" "I say yes, with all my heart, but how can it be done?
