You want me to throw the hooks into Jim for a goil I never set me peepers on. I wisht I had your crust." "You wouldn't let Durand spoil her life if you could stop it." "Wouldn't I? Hmp! Soft-soap stuff. Well, what's my cue? Where do I come in on this rescue-the-be-eutiful heroine act?" "When did you see 'Slim' Jim last?"
In the first place, it ain't easy to make one; your lids are so everlastin' heavy; and who the plague can see you if you do? and if he did notice it, he would only think you were tryin' to protect your peepers, that's all. Well, a wink is no better nor a nod to a blind horse; so I gave him a nudge instead.
He did not affect to be a simpleton, though, as so many crafty men of his sort do; indeed it would have been difficult for him to take any one in, in that way; I have never seen a sharper, keener pair of eyes than his tiny cunning little 'peepers, as they call them in Orel. They were never simply looking about; they were always looking one up and down and through and through.
"My, but they've got voices bigger than they are!" said Johnny Chuck, as he started home across the Green Meadows. "I'm glad I know who the singers of the Smiling Pool are, and I mustn't forget their name Hylas. What a funny name!" But Farmer Brown's boy, listening to their song that evening, didn't call them Hylas. He said: "Hear the peepers! Spring is surely here." Johnny Chuck was unhappy.
It recalled my noble-looking, warmhearted, witty father, with his deep laugh, sweet voice, and fine, rich eye, as he used to light the way with his anecdotes and fun. Old Frey, with his little black peepers, pipe, hearty laugh, broken English, and warm welcome, was in the background.
"It was in Amsterdam that we first met her nibs," continued Kilgore, with a jerk of his thumb in the direction of Cervera, who was so engaged with Pylotte that neither heeded the talk at the table. "Yes, Dave, we met her just a year ago," nodded Dalton. "She was then doing her dances in a theater there, and we naturally got our peepers onto her diamonds," Kilgore went on to narrate.
"Trust me to do that same," he avowed, "if only I can get my peepers on a five-pronged buck. Think of what I've got in the barrels of my gun, Max, twelve separate bullets in each shell, and propelled by nearly four drams of powder. Wow! I'd sure hate to be the luckless deer that stood up before all that ammunition."
Her ugly was out in full bloom, I tell you. 'Dear cousin Sam, said she, 'I am so fatigued with my labours as presidentess of this institution, that I can hardly keep my peepers open. Sam, I must join my class now. How happy it has made me to see you again after so many years! Kiss me, dear; good bye God bless you! and she yawned again till she nearly dislocated her jaw.
I tell you, my poor Monsieur Tartarin, you have to keep your peepers jolly well skinned in this deuce of a country, or be exposed to very disagreeable things. For a sample, there's the muezzin's game with you." "What game? Which muezzin?" "Why your'n, of course! The chap across the way who is making up to Baya.
There was a small marshy place, half a mile, or so, from the college grounds, from which I had heard, in my walks, the music of the peepers coming up every evening, in a loud and joyous chorus. I watched by it a number of evenings, and though there were a plenty of peepers, piping merrily enough, yet I could not get sight of one to save me.
