And so I found him there, standing all alone in the quietest of the yards, his face towards a high wall, while all around, from the narrow slits of the jail windows, I thought I saw peering out upon him the eyes of murderers and thieves. "Bartleby!" "I know you," he said, without looking round "and I want nothing to say to you."
But the lad's remained sullen, as he wiped the blood from Down's scratches. "Mayhap," he said. "But I go not near that cat again!" So, as no one else was small enough to slip through the narrow slits of windows, the conspirators could only curse their bad luck.
Whether or not we were a fish in the Devonian seas, there is little doubt that we had gills, because we have the gill slits yet in our early foetal life, and it is quite certain that in some way we owe our backbones to the fishes.
Miss Dobriner stooped forward, her eyes narrow as slits. "Seventy-five, spot down." Indecision vanished as rags before Abracadabra.

When next his glance rose to Meriem's face a slow flush suffused his own. Now, indeed, was he looking upon her through new eyes the eyes of a man looking upon a maid. Akut had come up just as Meriem had speared Korak's antagonist. The exultation of the old ape was keen.

Their full, upper lip is cleft, their neck is long, their eyes prominent and shaded with eye-lashes, their nostrils are like slits, which they can close at pleasure; their body has one or two humps on it, their legs have callous pads upon them, their feet are large and spreading, and their hair hangs loosely upon them in patches.
