Think of me licking an all-day sucker a kid dopes out! Me! Oh, he venly saints!" he gulped. "Ain't I the nut, though?" "Well, supposing?" said Laurence, laughing. "Buck up! You could be a bad egg instead of a good nut, you know!" John Flint's eyes slitted, then widened; his mouth followed suit almost automatically. He looked at me. "Can you beat it?" he wondered.
Some men are indispensable. We must have an engineer, a navigator, and a doctor. One man skilled with engine-room practice and one with deck work must remain." "And the cook goes," Grundy yelled. His eyes were intent and slitted again. Some of both groups nodded, but Muller brought his fist down on the table. "This will be a legal lottery, Mr. Grundy. Dr. Napier will draw for him."
"Over!" exclaimed Larry incredulously. "We live then heart of mine!" "The Silent Ones recall their veils," she said, pointing to the dome. Back through the slitted opening the radiance was streaming; withdrawing from sea and island; marching back over the bridge with that same ordered, intelligent motion. Behind it the red light pressed, like skirmishers on the heels of a retreating army.
For God's love, save my man, Meester Flint!" Michael's wife Katya screamed at him. By way of answer Meester Fleent very deliberately handed her his eye-glasses. Then one saw that his eyes, slitted in his head, were cold and bright as a snake's; his chin thrust forward, and in his red beard his lips made a straight line like a clean knife-cut. Two bright red spots had jumped into his tanned cheeks.

A crafty light shone through the slitted lids. "Hold yore hawsses. I ain't said I knew a thing. Not a thing. I was stringin' you." Kirby knew he had overshot the mark. He had been too eager and had alarmed the man.
Below them in the bowl of the ship were those who would not know the end consciously save in one compartment. In a padded cage a prick-eared head stirred where it rested on forepaws, slitted eyes blinked, aware not only of familiar surroundings, but also of the tension and fear generated by human minds and emotions levels above.
And at the same instant and actuated by the same motive, Potty Black, who had been sweetly and peacefully dozing on my lap, rose up with slitted eyes, bottle-brushed her tail, and hurled herself into the fray. Attacked front and rear, Beautiful Dog was at hideous disadvantage. He launched himself sidewise; he didn't even have time to howl.
But, after all, a paper chapeau, with a panache of slitted paper, was no bad soldier-hat; it went far to constitute a whole uniform; and it was this that the boys devolved upon at last. It was the only company they ever really got together, for everybody wanted to be captain and lieutenant, just as they wanted to be clown and ring-master in a circus.
If you had dug up the indubitable mummy of the first Pharaoh from under the oldest of the pyramids, The Author would have turned him over on his back and hunted for the trade-mark of The Modern Mummy-makers: London, Paris, and New York; Catalogue on Request. He stalked through Hynds House with slitted eyes and bristling mustache business of silent sleuth on the trail of the furniture-fakir!
