The green door closed and then opened again a bare half inch this time. "Peek-a-boo," murmured Peter. The door remained stationary and then he became aware of a series of tense intermittent whispers. "One guy." "What's he doin'?" "He's sittin' lookin'." "He better beat it off. We gotta get another li'l' bottle." Peter listened while the words filtered into his consciousness.
"Stay here, little people, and ask all the questions you like of Olive," said the Doctor, when they had reached the lane; "for I shall be able to find the nest more easily if you do not frighten the birds by talking." "Pewee, pewee, pe-e-er!" cried a little voice. "There he is, crying 'peek-a-boo' again," said Dodo. "Please, Olive, won't you tell us the table for the Chimney Swift now?"
"When you have once met him face to face and heard his sad cry 'pewee pewee pee-eer weer! you will probably find half a dozen pairs about home. "It is usual to call the notes of this bird sad; but it only seems so from our point of view; for he is a happy, fussy little bird, and I dare say that when he calls he is only saying 'peek-a-boo! to his mate on the other side of the tree."
"Is it a big town playing peek-a-boo among those hills, Uncle John, or is this really all there is to the place?" "It's a pretty big town, my dear. Most of the houses are back on the prairie, but fortunately our hold is just here at the depot."

"Did it ever occur to you," said I, "that a man will do for nothing what he wouldn't do for money?" I could see my conundrum playing peek-a-boo all about his stolid features. After that the Dane treated me with an air of superiority the superiority of thirty dollars per month over nothing at all. We stopped twice to coal, and worked far into the night.

Stott shamelessly, calling him "Harry" before everybody, and in the evening sitting with him by the camp-fire on the same saddle-blanket. At Mammoth Hot Springs Mrs. Budlong showed her disapproval by refusing to speak to Miss Gaskett, and Miss Gaskett replied by putting on a peek-a-boo blouse that was a scandal. But Mrs.

Afterward, when Joyce had gone, he felt his loneliness more than ever.

"First," he continued, "they'll exclude every bit of evidence about the Fuzzies that they can. That won't be much, but there'll be a fight to get any of it in. What they can't exclude, they'll attack.
I've done everything that's awful that a human being can. I'm a bad ma-a-d man." "The song from 'Polly Peek-a-boo. Harry and I heard it only two weeks ago," mused Pauline. Moved by a sudden whimsy, she entered the cabin. There was no one there but the cook. In his dingy linen suit he was standing at the table peeling potatoes and whistling.
I'll bet you a straight five-cent Peek-a-Boo cigar there ain't ary nigger on the whole train, except the sleepin'-car porters." "What kind of a way to argue is that?" demanded Mr. Arp, hotly. "Bettin' ain't proof, is it? Besides, that's the through express from the East. I meant trains from the South." "You didn't say so," retorted Buckalew, triumphantly.
