There was about him an air of suppressed excitement suppressed, because Heiny was too perfect a waiter to display emotion. "Not another!" chanted the bartenders, in chorus. "Yes," answered Henri, solemnly, and waited while the wine cellar was made to relinquish another rare jewel. "O, you Heiny!" called Miss Sweeney, "tell us what she looks like. If I had time I'd take a peek myself.
She may shrink from what she feels must come; she may put her hands over her eyes to shut out the sight; but do not forget that she is a woman, and so is filled with curiosity, under any and all circumstances! And you may set it down as sure, that, though she blinds herself with her hands as she scales the dizzy heights you are leading her over, nevertheless, she will peek through her fingers!
He's been sleepin' so hard I think he has pounded his ear clean through one o' them bags o' meal. Gin'ral Jackson laughs low an' just a little, and then he takes a peek into the wagon. 'Why, it's young Harry Kenton! he says. 'Let him sleep on till he wakes. He deserves it! Then he lets fall the canvas an' he ups an' rides away. An' if I was in your place, young Mr.
There came a long, insistent knock at the outer door. "Good heavens! Who's there! Rosie, you run to the side-light, an' peek. It can't be a neighbor. They'd come right in. I hope my soul it ain't company, a day like this." Rosie got on her fat legs with difficulty.
And between the boards that cover a door in the high wall, one may peek and catch a glimpse of hollyhocks in a row and roses running wild, trellises of green lattice and ghosts of beautiful ladies having afternoon tea. To one side of the mansion there is a formal garden that hugs up close to the ivy-covered walls of the house.
"Well, if you must know, I gave one teeny weeny peek through the crack in the door after I left him, and he was thrown down across his cot like a long, graceful tomcat or leopard or something, and he pulled a little green leather book out of his pocket and went to reading it on the spot. 'Pervigilium Veneris, its name was. All down the side."
'He asks me' or so Cogan guessed he said, for now he was speaking Spanish 'he asks me who is Torellas! at which they all craned their necks to get another peek at Cogan, and there was a lot of sputtering talk among them. Cogan guessed that they were saying many very funny things about the man who did not know who Torellas was.
The great lady bent down to him and kissed his forehead. "Good-bye, Freddy," she said. "You've helped me so much." Freddy drew in a long breath. "M-m," he sighed, "you know how I come to peek in your door like that?" "Because you heard me screaming 'damn'?" "No, before that. Comin' all the way down the hall I could smell it. Smelled so nice. Don't none of these ladies use perfume.
Hurriedly he went on: "If it's O.K. about the car, have Virgie's chauffeur drive you home and leave it in front of the building where the neighbors can get a peek at it. I'll arrange about the garage when I get back." "Very well." Waving his hand, he made his way toward the door: "Then good-bye.
"However, after your warning, I'll keep an eye on the gentlemen, and I'll tell Jack Peek to let me know if he sees anything suspicious in their behaviour. He understands French almost as well as I do, and he'll soon find out what they are about." "I do not like to think ill of other people, even though they are foreigners; but I cannot forget what a villain one of those men is," remarked Oliver.
