He saw them and he did not see them, as he passed his hand beneath his visored cap and scratched reflectively his mop of sandy hair.
Over them were foreheads, not as ours high and broad and visored; their sides drawn forward into a vertical ridge, a prominence, an upright wedge, somewhat like the visored heads of a few of the great lizards and the heads, long, narrowing at the back, were fully twice the size of mankind's!
Phinuit enquired; and added, as Monk nodded and cast about for the visored white cap of his office: "Didn't know pilots were such early birds." "They're not, as a rule. But if you treat 'em right, they'll listen to reason." The captain graphically rubbed a thumb over two fingers, donned his cap, buttoned up his tunic, and strode forth with an impressive gait. "Still wakeful?"
They had, however, the full use of their voices, and this they turned to the best account. Never had Leonardo been so cogent, or Eustachio so pathetic. The Mantuans, already disorganised by the unaccountable disappearance of the Executive, were entirely irresolute what to do. As they hesitated the visored chief incited his followers.

"By fair fighting, an' please my liege," observed the visored personage, "not by these dastardly treacheries." "How inhuman!" sighed Eustachio. "How old-fashioned!" sneered Leonardo.
The virtues are his assessors and inspirers he is King. Beneath the daïs occupied by these supreme personages, are ranged on either hand mailed and visored cavaliers, mounted on chargers, the guardians of the State.
Nat stood before them, clad in black leather Norfolk and visored cap and leggings. "Look like a fancy brand of chauffeur, don't I?" he laughed, with the easy resumption of a long-broken relation that was so characteristically Nat. But Nat was not a chauffeur. Something much bigger and grander. The news he brought them on top of it all took their breaths away.
She was sick with apprehension. "I guess I won't find my father and moth-er now," she whispered miserably. Then, all at once, she could see more than a face!
