Well, Jimmy has been pretending right along that he is afraid of exposure for that, and Nickleby has felt so sure of him that there have been occasions when he has permitted Jimmy to see behind the scenes and get a peek at some methods of doing business that would not stand analysis." "Have you tried to get a line on Nickleby's past, Miss Lawson?" asked Phil with interest.
Then as they approached nearer to the house and quietly dismounted to hobble their horses, he added: "Let's go up sly. Everything seems terrible still, and I'd like to take a peek through that back window 'fore we let on we've come." Ninian was not so cautious; or, rather, he was more anxious about the little captain, and protested: "How do we know but that this silence means mischief?
"Rat-a-tat-tat!" went the acorns on the wooden panels. "Ha! Those must be my friends!" exclaimed the bad owl, opening the door a little crack so he could peek out, but taking care to stand in front of it, so that Uncle Wiggily couldn't slip out. But, of course, the owl saw no one. "It must have been the wind," he said as he shut the door. Then Johnnie Bushytail threw some more acorns at the door.
Johnny dared not try this again for fear of a fall, and every step cost him a pang; but he never forgot it, and was thinking of it as he sat staring at the wall on that memorable May day. "How I should like to peek in and see just how it all really looks! It sounds and smells so summery and nice in there. I know it must be splendid. I say, Pussy, can't you tell a feller what you see?"

"It might have been Charlie Jackson or it might have been a dozen others. A sheriff's liable to have plenty of enemies. Billy started a bunch hunting." Lydia shivered. "Go to bed, child," said Amos. "We're going to be busy in this house for a while." "I want to see him first, please, Daddy." "Just a peek then, don't make a noise." Already the living room had a sick room aspect.
"You have quarters of your own," he grumbled, "and the slave woman to cook for you, and I have just given permission for the other slave to help you. Now more requests do you want to drain all the blood from my body?" "Let's not dramatize too much. I simply want some tools to get on with my work, and a peek at your machine shop or wherever it is you do your mechanical work.
The unabashed girl was meantime having sprightly talk with the casting director, whom she had hailed through the window as Countess. Merton, somewhat startled, wondered if the little woman could indeed be of the nobility. "Hello, Countess! Say, listen, can you give the camera a little peek at me to-day, or at pa or ma?
"Didn't you see?" cried Joel; "well, you may have one more peek, 'cause you are Grandma," and he brought it up again before her eyes. "Doughnuts?" said Grandma. "My sakes! where'd you get 'em?" "You may have one," said Joel, peering into the depths of the bag to fish out a good-sized one, that was sugary all over, which he dropped in her hands.
