Andy's own suggestion, however, had solved the difficulty. Tom had an idea that Andy felt a little timid about going in pursuit of the thieves, but naturally it would not do to mention this, for the squint-eyed lad considered himself quite a fighter. Early the next morning, alone in the RED STREAK, Tom continued the search for his stolen boat.
The typical tale is told, and exceedingly well told though, alas! not exactly in the language of the natives by Mrs. Bray in her Letters to Southey, of a certain midwife of Tavistock. One midnight, as she was getting into bed, this good woman was summoned by a strange, squint-eyed, little, ugly old fellow to follow him straightway, and attend upon his wife.
Monsieur Barbet is a kind of a tiger one mustn't offend, and But I would like to know what he's telling him. Felicite! Felicite, you great gawk! where are you?" cried the widow in her rasping, brutal voice, she had been using her dulcet tones to Godefroid. The servant-girl, stout, squint-eyed, and red-haired, ran out. "Keep your eye on things, do you hear me? I shall be back in five minutes."
Only, in this case, Queen Zelaya sent the squint-eyed man and the ruffian who had so frightened Ruth to either shore of the island to keep watch. Tents were set up, fires kindled, a great supper begun, and the poultry was set loose to roam at will. Somewhere the Gypsy children had picked up a kid and a little calf.
"I tell you it is a lie," said the old lady, raising her voice, "they are only Kafirs and camp-followers.

Gervaise alone occupied half the work-table with some embroidered muslin curtains, over which she passed her iron in a straight line with her arms stretched out to avoid making any creases. All on a sudden the coffee running through noisily caused her to raise her head. It was that squint-eyed Augustine who had just given it an outlet by thrusting a spoon through the strainer.
Perverseness is really moral strabismus, and I am shocked to think what a multitude of squint-eyed souls there will be, when we come to look into one another's faces in the "undress of immortality." "The world is God's seed-bed. He has planted deep and multitudinously, and many things there are which have not yet come up."
"We have temporized with this Calabasas outfit long enough," declared Jeffries, dropping his mask at last. "Deaf Sandusky, Logan, and that squint-eyed thief, Dave Sassoon all hold-up men, every one of them!
"He that is the person I saw wouldn't care to have me lunch with him," and the youth smiled grimly. "Would you like to bring him over to our table?" inquired Miss Carson. "We have plenty for him." "No, I think that would hardly do," continued the lad, who tried not to smile at the picture of the red-haired and squint-eyed Andy Foger making one of a party with the girls.
In the 'sixties of the eighteenth century, John Wilkes, a squint-eyed and immoral but very persuasive editor, had raised a hubbub of reform talk. He had criticized the policy of George III, had been elected to Parliament, and, when the House of Commons expelled him, had insisted upon the right of the people to elect him, regardless of the will of the House.
