It may be some comfort to him to feel that he has friends on the spot, standing by him. I've got thousands of engagements we all have but I shall telegraph to everybody. What about you, Lord Bob?" "I'll stand by, with you, Lady Mountstuart," said he, his nice though not very clever face more anxious-looking than I had ever seen it, his blue, wide-apart eyes watching me rather wistfully.
A thoroughly equable nature was his with little capacity for righteous indignation on the one side, and no small tendencies toward envy or peevishness on the other. There was not a wrinkle on his calm countenance, nor any power of angry flashing in his steadfast, wide-apart, gray eyes. But his tongue could cut deep on occasion.
They marked the symmetrical form, the legs like mighty pillars, the sloping back, the wide-apart, intelligent eyes. His shoulders were an expression of latent might power to break a tree-trunk at its base; by the conformity of his muscles he was agile and quick as a tiger.
This treasured possession of his life was of medium height and colour, with short, dark chestnut hair; her wide-apart brown eyes were set in whites so clear that they glinted when they moved, and yet in repose were almost dreamy under very white, black-lashed lids, held over them in a sort of suspense. She had a charming profile, and nothing of her father in her face save a decided chin.
During early years every civilised man passes through that phase of character exhibited by the barbarous race from which he is descended. As the child's features flat nose, forward-opening nostrils, large lips, wide-apart eyes, absent frontal sinus, etc. resemble for a time those of the savage, so, too, do his instincts.

A list was consulted with care; and Annesley was respectfully informed that no table had been engaged by a Mr. N. Smith for dinner that evening. "Are you sure?" persisted Annesley, bewildered and disappointed. "Yes, miss madame, I am sure we have not the name on our list," said the head-waiter. The blankness of the girl's disappointment looked out appealingly from wistful, wide-apart eyes.
She hasn't got what you call features, but you can't take your eyes off her somehow. She looks she looks well, a tiny bit like a a perfectly gloriously fascinating golliwog." "A golliwog!" "Great big, wide-apart eyes, I mean; dark, floating ones, with immense eyelashes that curl up and stick out when you see her profile.
The full red mouth, not small, struck me as being determined also, rather than classic, despite the daintily drawn cupid's bow of the short upper lip. I realized too that the long-lashed, wide-open, and wide-apart eyes were of the usual bluish-gray possessed by half the girls one knows.
