'I used to be a little afraid of the angels, because a boy told me they were ghosts; but my mother told me better, and I didn't fear them any more. And the Baby, the dear little Baby we all love a baby. There was a quick, dry sob; it was from Nelson. 'I used to peek through under to see the little one in the straw, and wonder what things swaddling clothes were.
"Now, we'll see if the city gits its bond." Then he paused as if a thought had entered his head. "But, jest to keep the record clean, I reckon ye'd better give it to me yerself, young 'un. Jack Jellup ain't no burglar. Loosen him up, Domingo. And fur fear ye might need persuadin' jest take a peek at this," and he drew his revolver. When Ned had been liberated, Jellup pointed to the money belt.
"But they can't creep around among the coral and peek into oyster shells at the pearls." "Imagine a lobster peeking!" Mr. Evringham strained his eyes to their widest and stared at Jewel, who shouted. "That's just the way the sand-fleas look," she exclaimed. "Well," remarked the broker, recovering his ordinary expression, "you may as well remain a little girl, so far as that goes.
Before she could move, then, she felt a folded something slipped across her eyes and tied in the back. "Pollyanna, Pollyanna! What are you doing?" she cried. Pollyanna chuckled. "That's just what I don't want you to know, Aunt Polly, and I was afraid you WOULD peek, so I tied on the handkerchief. Now sit still. It won't take but just a minute, then I'll let you see."
Upon one of these steps Tansey seated himself and bethought him of his love, and how she might never know she was his love. And of Mother Peek, fat, vigilant and kind; not unpleased, Tansey thought, that he and Katie should play cribbage in the parlour together. For the Cut-rate had not cut his salary, which, sordidly speaking, ranked him star boarder at the Peek's.
Some say that it is distantly related to the wheel chairs at Atlantic City. It is not at all common. The men who run it are its Uncles. The parents live underground caring for the young kiddie-kars. At times, if you peek down in that hole near the Fairmont and are careful not to be run over you may see them bustling about.
Peeked into Town Hall and saw the general round-up. Light in the bank. Bill was boosted up by Tom and got a peek over the curtain. One fellow inside adding figures much taken up. Bank-vault door wide open. Front door unlocked. Crawled in. Kept crawling. Crawled into bank room. Grille door wide open. Bill up and hit fellow with rubber nob-knocker it snuffs, but is not dangerous.
"Now, if this man in the play dug his way out through a wall ten feet thick with a rusty nail and a broken knife, I don't see why I couldn't pick away one brick and get a peek. It's all quiet in there now; here's a good place, and nobody will know, if I stick a picture over the hole. And I'll try it, I declare I will!"
Some resemble the lark, and, indeed, there are several of that family; two have notes not unlike those of the thrush. One brought the chaffinch to my mind, and another the robin; but their songs are intermixed with several curious abrupt notes unlike any thing English. One utters deliberately "peek, pak, pok"; another has a single note like a stroke on a violin-string.
"Exactly," replied Barbara. "The most expressive words are fricassees, heads and tails dished up together. Can't you see the philology of it? 'Squint' and 'peek. Worcester can't put down everything. He leaves something to human ingenuity. The language isn't all made, or used, yet!" Barbara had a way of putting heads and tails together, in defiance in aid, as she maintained of the dictionaries.
