Miss O'Dowd nodded a graceful assent, while a sharp-looking old dowager at the side of the table called out, "a rubber of four on, my Lord;" and now began an explanation from the whole party at once.

The next thing to ascertain was whether the door was unfastened; and he was about to rise and try, when the familiar sound of steps upon a boarded floor fell upon his ear, a door that he had not hitherto seen was opened, and Allstone, Sir Henry, and the sharp-looking captain of the lugger passed before him, and, entering the lit-up kitchen, were lost to sight.
They were not sure whether the iron shirts were to be dreaded as magic, or coveted as something they could use themselves. As for the horses, they both feared and hated them.

"So I hear, sir; and I will serve supper accordingly." "What are your wages?" "Four louis a month." I then went to see the rest of my people.

An apothecary was preparing certain matters for my imaginary cure.

Before he had ceased speaking, several of his guards advanced towards us with their sharp-looking swords glittering in the sunbeams. It was a moment of intense anxiety. It seemed evident they intended to kill us. We could, however, neither fly nor defend ourselves. "I say, Ben, have you said your prayers?" whispered Dicky to me. "If not, it is time to begin."
Amidst a deep silence something suggesting to everybody that Mr. Bent's sharp-looking London friend was about to get at things he put his first question to Miss Pett.
