The ancestors of the present pretender, Congal, surnamed "the squint-eyed," had twice received and cherished the licentious Bards when under the ban of Tara, and his popularity with that still powerful order was one prop of his ambition. It is pretty clear also that the last rally of Druidism against Christianity took place behind his banner, on the plain of Moira.
"Well, I seen Tom Swift hanging around this bank with burglar tools in his possession last night, just before it was robbed," exclaimed the squint-eyed lad triumphantly. "Hanging around the bank last night with burglar tools?" repeated Mr. Swift, in dazed tones. "That's right," from Andy. "How do you know they were burglar tools?" "Because I saw 'em!" cried Andy.
There were Etienne, Pauline, Nana and little Victor Fauconnier. It had been decided to lay a table for the four of them, and they had been told to be very good. That squint-eyed Augustine who had to look after the stoves was to eat off her knees. "Mamma! Mamma!" suddenly screamed Nana, "Augustine is dipping her bread in the Dutch oven!"
It was not his fault, she argued, but that of his companions and especially of the squint-eyed, foul-tongued man who no sooner saw that the bottle was getting low than he ordered another one. What could she do to help him? Nothing. He was out of her reach. She remembered how he looked when she first saw him at the Maiden Head inn. He would probably look like that again before the night was ended.
Another Christian bore them company; that Laurence sirnamed the Squint-eyed, because of that imperfection in his sight. The Father walked cheerfully with his five companions, as far as Pinlaschau, a village distant a league or two from Figen.
It happened that I and my brother Avdushka, with Fyodor of Mihyevska, and Ivashka the Squint-eyed, and the other Ivashka who comes from the Red Hills, and Ivashka of Suhorukov too and there were some other boys there as well there were ten of us boys there altogether the whole shift, that is it happened that we spent the night at the paper-mill; that's to say, it didn't happen, but Nazarov, the overseer, kept us.
Some inquisitive people were walking among the insurgents, while the latter quietly partook of their meal. Amongst these onlookers was Justin Rebufat, the son of the farmer of the Jas-Meiffren, a youth of twenty years old, a sickly, squint-eyed creature, who harboured implacable hatred against his cousin Miette.
"Were I but as other men! Had I but mine eyes!" he screamed, "I would overwhelm the place in an hour. Hundreds to one you are and you are mocked, robbed, slaughtered." A thin-faced, evil-looking, squint-eyed Hindu whose large, thick, gold-rimmed goggles accorded ill with the sword that lay athwart his crossed legs, addressed him in English. "Easy to talk, Moulvie.
When one looking stedfastly in his mistress's face, admires a mole as much as a beauty spot; when another swears his lady's stinking breath is a most redolent perfume; and at another time the fond parent hugs the squint-eyed child, and pretends it is rather a becoming glance and winning aspect than any blemish of the eye-sight, what is all this but the very height of Folly?
I was not at the House, but this is likely to make a great noise. Bully's petition has been presented by Lord Sandw., and will probably be carried through this Session. Some of the Bishops intend to make speeches against it, as I hear. Charles Boon has married a squint-eyed, chitten-face citizen with about 5,000 pounds fortune. Sir G. Mac wedding will be about Monday or Tuesday next.
