One night when the banker had just finished a "taille," on looking up he saw an elderly man, who had placed himself opposite to him, and was keeping a grave, melancholy gaze fixed upon him. And every time Siegfried looked up from his game, he found this grave, melancholy gaze still fixed upon him, so that he could not divest himself of a strong, rather eery sensation.
I am thy mate. Come!" Pan took my hand in his as he chanted, and held my fingers to his lips, and ended his chant with several weird, eery, crooning notes blown across his lips and through my fingers out into the moonlit shadows. "I feel about you just as I do about one of Mrs. Ewe's lambkins," I whispered, with a queer answering laugh in my voice, which held and repeated the croon in his.
He had blood ties with Stewart kings of yesterday, and in addition to that evidenced a queer, romantic fondness for lost causes, and a willingness to ferry across rivers those who had been engaged in them. Now he displayed toward the Englishman and the Scot a kind of eery, distant graciousness. Ah yes! he would speak here and there of Monsieur Ian Rullock he would speak to the King.
Was there hope, indeed, for any one of us penned in a wooden palisade fifty miles from aid, a handful against an army? Presently in the lowering silence came the scream of a hawk. An uncommon sound, half croak, half cry, which only hill dwellers know, but 'tis an eery noise in the wilderness. It came again, less near, and a third time from a great distance.
"Is that not an excellent joke, my Corporal?" "Eye of the bull, yes!" "Ho! D'Hérouville, wait for me!" Madame sprang to her feet screaming: "Vicomte, save us!" She flew to the door. "Back, Madame," warned the Chevalier, "or you will have me killed." With his left arm he barred the door. "Have patience, sweet bird, whom I shall soon take to an eery nest. To be sure I shall save you!"
Were it not for our turn and bank indicators, our altimeter and air speed instruments, and our navigational instruments, it would be impossible to tell by looking at least, though we could tell by our shifting weight whether we were upside down or right side up, on one wing or on an even keel. It's eery. We wouldn't be able to tell whether we were moving were it not for our air speed indicator.
Bob White's silver whistle, clear and sweet, the White throat's long call of "Canada, Canada, Canada," as though the little patriot could never tell all his love and joy in his beautiful home, the loon's eery laugh far away down the golden channel, and the whippoorwill and the cat-bird and the veery in the tree-tops. It was a wonderful night.
For a while there was only the ringing turmoil of his own quickened blood in the young man's ears. But presently, up from the southern slope, rose the sound he had heard some minutes before a long, quavering note, ending in a high eery wail. Kenkenes was familiar with the screams of wild beasts, and he knew the irreconcilable differences between them and the human voice.
She answered that at first he had appeared very strange and eery to her, but that now those feelings had quite disappeared, and that she liked him very much. "Heaven be thanked then!" cried the Colonel. "Thus it was ordained to turn out, for my comfort, for my happiness. Count S loves you, my darling child, with all his heart. He asks for your hand, and you won't refuse him."
Chloe saw that they were MacNair's Indians. The scene changed with lightning rapidity. Men with rifles were in the clearing, now running and shooting, and falling down to remain motionless in the snow. Above the uproar of the guns a new sound rolled and swelled. An eery, blood-curdling sound that chilled the heart and caused the roots of her hair to prickle along the base of her skull.
