It consisted of a multitude of dull scratches which produced a metallic sound, as if claws and teeth were gnawing at the copper wire. This was accompanied by all sorts of little piercing cries. The little five-year-old boy, on hearing this hubbub overhead, and chilled with terror, jogged his brother's elbow; but the elder brother had already shut his peepers, as Gavroche had ordered.
Women taking liquor: Skepsey had a vision of his wife with rheumy peepers and miauly mouth, as he had once beheld the creature: Oh! they need discipline not such would we have for the mothers of our English young. Decidedly the women of principle are bound to enter wedlock; they should be bound by law.
"But the buds are not open yet," she said. "No matter; I should value the spray just as much, since you gathered it." "Why, Burt," she cried, laughing, "on that principle I might as well give you a chip." But she gave him the buds and escaped. "Amy," Webb asked at the supper-table, "didn't you hear the peepers this afternoon while out walking?" "Yes; and I asked Alf what they were.
It blew a regular gale now, and a very rain of straw debris fell through the cane-bottomed chair on which the Captain sat, as he vainly essayed to sooth his friend by earnest, pathetic, and even tender adjurations to "clap a stopper upon that," to "hold hard," to "belay", to "shut down the dead-lights of her peepers," and such-like expressive phrases.
He said they were peepers, and that they always made a noise in the spring." "Why, Alf," Webb resumed, in mock gravity, "you should have told Amy that the sounds came from the Hylodes pickeringii." "If that is all that you can tell me," said Amy, laughing, "I prefer Alf's explanation. I have known people to cover up their ignorance by big words before.
James's Gallery, you will find a pleasant collection of Eye Art open to all peepers. It is true it may not be High Art, but you will find it, like Epps's Cocoa, "grateful and comforting." Mr.
Holman was repeating a question over and over again, and I endeavoured to moisten my dry throat so that I could answer. "Where are we?" he groaned. "Where are we? Are you dead, Verslun? Open your eyes and take a look around; my peepers are bunged up." I managed to open my eyes, but I could see nothing but the encompassing jungle. For a few minutes I thought that we were alone.
You see my Complaint, and hope you will take these mischievous People, the Peepers, into your Consideration: I doubt not but you will think a Peeper as much more pernicious than a Starer, as an Ambuscade is more to be feared than an open Assault. I am, SIR, Your most Obedient Servant. This Peeper using both Fan and Eyes to be considered as a Pict, and proceed accordingly.
Don't look like valves, eh? Can you break 'em, can you warp 'em, can you pit 'em? D'ye twig how the mixture reaches the cylinder? None of your shoulders or kinks to choke it up is there? and the same with the exhaust. Would you ever have a mushroom valve again after you've once cast your peepers over this arrangement? Now, if I took up areonotting if I wanted to fly the Channel "

Well, you take her up in your arms, and for the first time in your life hold her head from you, for fear she will reward you in a way that ain't no matter, and she feels as soft as dough, and it seems as if your fingers left dents in her putty-like arms, and you carry her to the head of the stairs, and call out for the stewardess, and a waiter answers, 'Stewardess is tight, Sir.
