"What is the matter with that child's eyes? They'll drop out of her head!" She ran to the window, evidently startling the peeper quite as much as she had been startled herself. The girl, who was about Nan's own age, fell back from the pane, stumbled in the big, men's boots she wore, and ungracefully sprawled in the snow upon her back. She could not get away before Nan had the window open.
Oh, let him in, by all means!" exclaimed Jane; "he was always so kind to me when I was a child!" "He can't get in, madam, unless Mr Peeper orders the drawbridge to be lowered; and he is now busy with Mr Belfront." "Go for Mr Lutter; he will be glad to hear of uncle Samson's arrival."
You watched by the marshy pool, and caught the 'peeper' in the act, took him 'in flagrante, delicto, as the lawyers say, and thus ended the theoretical discussion about the 'peepers. You placed another fixed fact upon the page of natural history.
So, let us go home, my love, as fast as we can, or I'm very much afraid Mr Peeper won't like it." "Mr Peeper?" enquired Jane. "Who is Mr Peeper?" "You will know him in good time," said Reginald; "and I hope he will like you." "I hope he will I hope all your friends will like me I will do every thing in my power to please them."
"Do you not like scholars?" "What's the use of them? I never could see what they were good for and, besides, Mr Peeper hates them too." "Then why does he keep this man as his assistant?" "Because if he didn't, the fellow would rebel." "Well, you could turn him off." "We never turn any body off at Belfront Castle.
You appear to view the practice with a proper Christian disgust; and yet you talk like an amateur. Oh, the thing is sickening." "It is, indeed," said Mr. Slick, "particularly to him that loses his peeper. But the dexterity, you know, is another thing. It is very scientific.
"I had better not appear, love," said Jane; "no ladies are coming, and among so many gentlemen my presence might be awkward." "By no means," replied the husband. "It wouldn't be right, Mr Peeper, for my wife to be absent from the supper-table?" "Certainly not. It is to see her the neighbours are coming." Is this Mr Peeper to have the control of all my actions? thought Jane. Who can he be?
"Baron, it struck me a bit shivery at the time, but I want to say to you now that the eye that I saw at the crack was not that of an idle peeper, nor was it a mere fakir's substitute. It was as malevolent as the devil and it glared do you understand? Glared! It didn't peep!" Truxton King, for reasons best known to himself, soon relapsed into a thoughtful, contemplative silence.
It was the only living thing there, so he decided that the "Peeper" must be a "Whistling Lizard." But he was determined to see them when they were calling. How was it that the ponds all around should be full of them calling to him and playing hide and seek and yet defying his most careful search? The voices ceased as soon as he came near, to be gradually renewed in the pools he had left.
These newspapers were mere appendages of party, "organs" in the narrowest and most restricted sense, espousing blindly certain interests or ideas, expounding in long editorials the views of small groups of politicians.
