He seemed to be going, then stopped, and directed the two pin-points of light at Miss Van Tuyn. "I flatly refuse to make an Academy portrait of you, so don't hope for it," he said. "But if you come along to the studio to-morrow afternoon you may possibly find me at work on a blackmailer." "Dick!" said Miss Van Tuyn, in a voice which startled Braybrooke. "I don't promise," said the painter.
But he saw another side of him presently. "What was that matter of Mr. Sutton, the priest who was executed in Stafford last year?" asked Mr. John suddenly. The face of the other changed as abruptly. His eyes became pin-points under his grey eyebrows and his mouth tightened. "What of him?" he said. "It was reported that you might have stayed the execution, and would not.
Then they had gazed long and rested, looking up at the countless stars that obscured the Milky Way with their pin-points; and when the Colonel had found them Wiley was carrying her in his arms as if her weight were nothing. They camped at Stovepipe that day while Virginia gained back her strength, and at last they came in sight of Keno.
The stars she remembered seeing from the earth were only pin-points in the darkness compared with the myriads of blazing orbs which were now shooting their rays across the black void of Space. So many millions of new ones had come into view, that she looked in vain for the familiar constellations. She saw only vast clusters of living gems of every colour crowding the heavens on every side of her.
He saw a lurid spot of blue-white flame. He saw others. He realized that all the sky was interlaced with contrails vapor-trails of jet-planes far up out of sight. But they were fine threads. The jets were up very high indeed. The pin-points of flame were explosions. "Using wing-rockets," said the ensign hungrily, "since fifty-calibres did no good last night, until one made a lucky hit.
Pat shot a single glance upwards, and made laconic reply. "I undid Mike." "Oh, dear!" exclaimed Avery in great distress. "I'm afraid that was my fault." "Yours, Mrs. Denys?" Mr. Lorimer's eyes became visible as two brilliant pin-points turned searchingly upon her face. "Yes, mine!" she reiterated. "Mike was whining on his chain, and I said I thought it was cruel to keep a dog tied up.
The twinkling lights of the village were mere pin-points in the distance. Each thick shadow beneath the eaves of the house was blacker than he had ever noticed before. Even the soft swish of the rain as it seeped from the sodden shingles, even the very familiar complaint of loose nails lifted by the wind under the clapboards, set his heart pumping faster.
Then he came back to the sketch of Arabian. "You must help me!" he said at last. "I!" she exclaimed, with almost sharp surprise. "How can I help you?" He turned, and she saw the pin-points of light. "What do you think of the fellow?" he said. "After all, you asked me to paint him. What do you think of him?" "I think he's magnificently handsome." "Blast his envelope!" Garstin almost roared out.
Those who knew his disposition well were fully aware how swiftly the mocking smile could vanish from that indolent young face on occasion how unpleasantly those wide blue orbs could contract beneath scowling brows into mere pin-points of steel and ice.
Suddenly she sat erect, looked, rubbed her eyes, looked again, then sprang to her feet and went out into the driving rain. A spot of white, a larger one of black, two moving pin-points of light, was what she saw. The white was Rodney's shirt, the black the canoe, the pin-points the reflection from the two-bladed paddle as, recklessly, he forced his way with it into the teeth of the storm.
