Then far, away over the blue he caught sight of three long, dark shapes like hurrying fish that drove one after the other, as porpoises follow one another in the water. They were very fish-like indeed with tails. It was an unconvincing impression in that light. He blinked his eyes, stared again, and they had vanished. For a long time he scrutinised those remote blue levels and saw no more....
He was a wary fellow, for he scrutinised these all over most carefully to see if they were marked, and finding no mark of any kind on them for it almost required a microscope to see the tiny scratch between the w.w. on the smooth edge of the neck he took out his purse, and was proceeding to drop them into it, when a heavy hand was laid upon his shoulder, and Kenrick and Wilton the detected thief stood face to face.
His eyes scrutinised her and searched the room by turns. She nodded, unable to speak. "There is no one in the house with you?" "Only my mother," she murmured. "She is bedridden, is she not? She cannot hear us?" he added, frowning. "No, but I am expecting the others to return." "Messer Basterga?" "Yes." "He will not return before morning," the Syndic replied with decision, "nor his companion.
The more he scrutinised, the more anxious was he to obtain specimens, and he determined to blast the rock. Being prepared with a couple of short crowbars, and a flask of gunpowder, he fixed upon a corner, which appeared more assailable than the rest, and commenced his laborious occupation. "Can I assist you, Mr Macallan?" inquired Prose. "You can, indeed, Mr Prose.
The lower table or back of good sycamore is now turned about and well scrutinised by James, who now remarks, "this back is warped, I think that is why the last two owners could not make the other parts fit well, what is to be done with it, we are not likely to make a better job of it than they were with a back twisted like that?"
Within an hour and a half after the photographs were taken the first prints are going back into the bureau for the examination of the photographs. Both British and French air photographs are thoroughly scrutinised and marked. An air photograph to an inexperienced eye is not a very illuminating thing; one makes our roads, blurs of wood, and rather vague buildings.
Few indeed are the nights, in our climate at any rate, when the rough, irregular character of the steep interior of even the coarser examples of these immense chasms can be steadily seen. We can only hope to obtain a more perfect insight into their actual structural peculiarities when they are scrutinised under more perfect climatic circumstances than they have been hitherto.
She scrutinised her own face carefully; why? she could not tell: another of those subtle feminine instincts perhaps. The becoming simplicity of the prevailing mode suited her to perfection. The waist line, rather high but clearly defined a precursor of the later more accentuated fashion gave grace to her long slender limbs, and emphasised the lissomeness of her figure.
The officers of police in this city are so inquisitive and vigilant that the most minute action of a stranger is scrutinised with great severity; and, although the inhabitants are very frank in discoursing on indifferent subjects, they are at the same time extremely cautious in avoiding all conversation that turns upon state occurrences and maxims of government.
With a touch of fear for the young man beside him whom he furtively scrutinised with an air of some consternation remembering he had just come back from Paris, the eyes more especially reminding him forcibly of father and sister, failing to throw much light on the subject, however, he brought to mind instances of cultured fellows that promised so brilliantly nipped in the bud of premature decay and nobody to blame but themselves.
