"I'm going now, miss," remarked Mary's voice at the foot of the front stairs. "Go on, then," said Polly, with dignity, turning to Molly to add, "She wouldn't dare do that if mamma were here. Then she never thinks of calling to us, like this." Peeping stealthily out at the front window, the girls watched her as she walked off, dressed in her state and festival suit.
He woke troubled, and found the dawn peeping through the chinks of the shutter; and soon he heard the tramping of horses without, and knew that he must rise and go.
Thus speaking, the artist suddenly shuddered, and turned pale. A convulsively distorted face gazed at him, peeping forth from the surrounding canvas; two terrible eyes were fixed straight upon him; on the mouth was written a menacing command of silence. Alarmed, he tried to scream and summon Nikita, who already was snoring in the ante-room; but he suddenly paused and laughed.
But under the chandelier was a vacant space like a little crater: not a single soul sat there, for the tallow was dropping, drip, drip! I saw everything, for it was so warm in there that every loophole had been opened. The male and female servants stood outside, peeping through the chinks, although a real policeman was inside, threatening them with a stick.

Not far from these two was a little woman, still very pretty, although of a certain age the age of embonpoint a brunette, with very delicate features, a little sensual mouth, and pretty rosy ears peeping forth from skilfully arranged masses of black hair.
Most of the boys was standing about watching the procession; but the girls the Hen, likely, having told 'em to was keeping on keeping quiet, and got what they could of it peeping through chinks in the windows and doors. "Why, where are all the ladies, Mr. Charles?" Hart's aunt asked.
The structure of bone, now so beautifully made out, even that of the teeth, in which old Leeuwenhoek, peeping with his octogenarian eyes through the minute lenses wrought with his own hands, had long ago seen the "pipes," as he called them, was hardly known at all. The minute structure of the viscera lay in the mists of an uncertain microscopic vision.
I was not sorry for the reprieve, however: being nervous about first impressions, and willing to defer mine, I sat shyly back, peeping at the candle and moonlight picture before me, myself unseen. 'Will you tell yes or no is my cousin in the coach? screamed the plump young lady, stamping her stout black boot, in a momentary lull. Yes, I was there, sure.
God alone knows how many will see His hand in this great judgment, and will turn to Him in fear if not in love!" Before many minutes had passed affrighted servants began peeping and then crowding into the room, as though they felt more assurance in presence of Dinah's quiet steadfastness and courage. The faces of the maids were pale with apprehension.
