No one rebuked him, but a Corporal patiently explained things to him. We smiled at one another, and I wished him "auguri" and went on up the hill. The Austrian snipers were busy, and another Italian standing close to me, looking out slantwise through a peephole, was shot through the jaw.
But a young Italian recruit, in the trenches for the first time, quivering with excitement and eagerness to distinguish himself, not realising the man's motive, fired at him through a peephole. He missed, but the Austrian turned and doubled back like a rabbit to his own lines, where I suppose he was shot, poor brute, by his own people. I was standing quite close to the young recruit when he fired.
But Pelle was not allowed to feel satisfied with himself in this either. He was a prey to the same tormenting unrest that he had suffered in his cell, when he stole away from his work and sat reading secretly he felt as if there were always an eye at the peephole, which saw everything that he did. He would have to go into the question once more. That unselfish Morten envious?
Sometimes, through a peephole, I have caught a glimpse of the real world, and the two or three articles in which I have portrayed these glimpses please me better than the others."
I drew back the little shutter from the peephole in the wall, and looked through it. I saw first my old enemy, Screw, with his villainous face much paler than usual; next, two respectably-dressed strangers whom he appeared to have brought into the room; and next to them Young File, addressing himself to the doctor.
The peephole was closed and the old man waited. "Peste!" growled he. "Everybody can't get in here, it seems." Hardly had this reflection passed through his mind when the door opened with a noise as of chains and locks.
After passing through the passage they went up a long flight of narrow steps until their course was arrested by a wooden panel. The Fleming applied first his eye and then his ear to a tiny peephole. "Everything is quiet," he said; then touched a spring, pushed the panel open a short distance, and looked out. "All is clear; you have but to open the door and go out."
Naturally, I could draw no special inference from the sound; but, for all that, it filled me with a breathless interest and suspicion, which held me irresistibly at the peephole though the moment before I had made up my mind to fly from the house. "Moses is awkward as well as lazy," said the doctor. "He has dropped the tray! Oh, dear, dear me! he has certainly dropped the tray."
But, at present, there are things which must be done. 'I vote for tearing up every board in the house! cried Sydney. 'And for pulling the whole infernal place to pieces. It's a conjurer's den. I shouldn't be surprised if cabby's old gent is staring at us all the while from some peephole of his own. We examined the entire house, methodically, so far as we were able, inch by inch.
