Far out in space, Jupiter, a tiny moon and its satellites mere pin-points of light, Stevens turned to his companion with a grin. "Well, Nadia, old golf-shootist, here's where we turn spacehounds again. Hope you like it better this time, because I'm afraid that we'll have to stay weightless for quite a while."
Every now and then a great deluge of piled-up clouds broke into tossing billows and went rolling and tumbling across the face of the sky, and in and out of these swirling masses the high moon played hide-and-seek and the stars showed like pin-points.
But the deadly pin-points of discontent and discouragement were still pricking him when he fell asleep. Mike Breyette took a last look over his shoulder as the current and the thrust of two paddles carried the canoe around the first bend. Thompson stood on the bank, watching them go. "Bagosh, dat man hees gon' have dam toff time, Ah theenk," Breyette voiced his conviction.
His eyes narrowed to pin-points when he saw the professor examining the wall of the cliff. "What's he got there?" he muttered to himself. "But he can't put anything over on me. If I could get my hands on Ramon, I'd teach him to do as I tell him. If he had stuck around, I'd know what all this fuss is about." But that was all that Kie was to know for some days.
He gazed in a sort of rapture upon that quivering little smudge of light among the shining pin-points and gazed. My troubles had to wait for him. "Wonderful," he sighed, and then as though his first emphasis did not satisfy him, "wonderful!" He turned to me. "Wouldn't you like to see?"
Helen got a little air, that was like hot pin-points in her lungs, and then a deeper breath, and then full, gasping respiration. "I guess I'm not hurt not a bit," she choked out. "You sure had a header. Never saw a prettier spill. Ranger doesn't do that often. I reckon we were travelin' too fast. But it was fun, don't you think?" It was Bo who answered. "Oh, glorious!... But, gee! I was scared."
Succeeding at length, she stood motionless, staring with wide, scared eyes at the ring that lay shining in the sunlight, as though she beheld some evil charm. The diamonds flashed in her eyes and dazzled her, making her see nothing but tiny pin-points of intolerable light. Her heart thumped and raced as though it would choke her. Unconsciously she gasped for breath.
The right side of my face and head seemed as if a hundred pin-points were being driven into it. I clutched my face in agony; then I realised the cause. Coming down from such a height, at so terrific a speed, the different pressure of the atmosphere affected the blood pressure on the head. Suddenly the downward rush was stopped. The plane was brought to an even keel.
Such a glittering and twinkling, such a softness and blueness, such tiny little pin-points of foam, and such delicate little wrinkles of waves all this made the ocean look like a flattered portrait. The day I speak of was a Sunday, and there were to be races at Fécamp, ten miles away. The agreeable thing was, of course, to walk to Fécamp, over the grassy downs.
His debonair young face had altered in an incredible fashion. Although his lips were pursed up with their whistling nonchalance his eyes had contracted beneath scowling brows into mere pin-points of steel and ice. He looked about as docile as a young lobo wolf cornered. "Ah!" murmured Yorke, noting the transformation; and he seemed to consider. He had seen that look on men's faces before.
