He seated himself on the ground and stared unblinkingly at the girl, and she gazed almost as fixedly back, except that once in a while her eyes wandered to the big red stone which still hung in the turban on the table. Ten minutes fifteen minutes they sat in silence, as though the Swami enjoyed the experience, then the bronze man rose and moved slowly toward her. "Awake!" he whispered.
"I want you to meet my wife, Mr. Bradford. If you will excuse me, I will call her." Left to himself, the visitor slipped back and forth uneasily upon his haircloth chair, and took occasion to observe Claudius Tiberius, who sat near by and regarded the guest unblinkingly.
"It wasn't very nice at that little girl's house" and a troubled expression swept over her face "but the little girl was nice, and she hadn't any child." Clorinda's countenance expressed no sorrow, but stared up at her mother unblinkingly. Phronsie bent over and dropped a kiss on the red lips. "Maybe she'll come again some day, if I watch by the big gate." "My goodness me!"
Under the force of this Odyssey husband and wife gradually dropped into silence, which they broke only by single words of astonishment and sympathy; while the child Trotty spooned in her pudding without seeing it, her round, solemn eyes fixed unblinkingly on this new uncle, who was like a wonderful story-book come alive.
"Liz," she said to the sad-faced girl, who seemed gloomier than ever on this morning, "who was the man who scared you in the rain last evening?" The maid-of-all-work did not look startled. Perhaps she had nerved herself already for just this question. She merely stared at Laura unblinkingly and asked. "What, Ma'am?" "Don't pretend that you don't know what I mean, Liz," said Laura, impatiently.
Camp was not only close, but had not yet reached suppertime, Bud guessed from the well-known range signs. Two or three minutes proved him right. He came upon a man just driving the last tent peg. He straightened up and stared at Bud unblinkingly for a few seconds. "Howdy, howdy," he greeted him then with tentative friendliness, and went on with his work. "You lost?" he added carefully.
Benham rose and walked out a few paces into the moonlight and stood motionless. Was he afraid? Even now some hungry watchful monster might lurk in yonder shadows, watching with infinite still patience. Kepple had told him how they would sit still for hours staring unblinkingly as cats stare at a fire and then crouch to advance.
He looked bluer and thinner than Tess had ever seen him; his lips rested upon the rag with no indrawing movement. Unblinkingly stared the wide gray eyes when the sunbeams flashed upon his face. The vivid birth-mark grew fainter in the yellow light. Tess drew him into the shade, and waited.
He was ruddy of complexion, and he looked out unblinkingly upon the world with a pair of steel-blue eyes. Neat he was to spruceness, and while of no more than medium height he had the shoulders of an acrobat. The detective who stood beside him, by name John Durham, had one trait in common with his celebrated superior.
Of course, in defence of her exotic Airdale, she unblinkingly fell back on the paraphrase: "It's a wise father that knows his own son"; or the other way round, just as you please. Mrs. Rowe-Martin professedly was middle-aged that is to say, just rounding fifty.
