Then I realized that doubtless the conspirators were already there. I set my tiny eavesdropper on the library floor beside me; connected its little battery; focused its projector. Was Miko's room insulated? I could not tell. There was a small ventilating grid above the door. Across its opening, if the room was insulated, a blue sheen of radiance would be showing. And there would be a faint hum.
"Must be a pretty big bird to be seen at such a distance as it is," remarked Tom. "Maybe it isn't a bird," suggested Ivan Petrofsky. "I'll take a look myself," and, showing something of alarm in his manner, he followed Tom to where Mr. Damon awaited them. Ned also came out on deck. Quickly adjusting the glass, Tom focused it on the black speck. It seemed to have grown larger.
Keller swung round as if worked by a spring. The cow-puncher had told the truth. Curly's companion was not only a woman, but the woman the same slim, tanned creature who had flashed past him on a wild race for safety, only a few minutes earlier. All eyes were focused upon her. Weaver waited for her to speak. Instead, Curly took up the word.
Though he was rather severe with me, I loved him, and my heart ached at his sufferings. He was so overcome by one idea that he could not even get in a passion! All his energies were focused on one point. And I knew that by speaking one little word all this suffering would cease. I could not speak it. My heart was, nevertheless, inclining towards him.

Kennon waited until he had finished the legal folder which he was reading and then gently intruded upon Alexander's concentration. Alexander looked up blankly and then went through the same mental gyrations Kennon had performed a few minutes before. His eyes focused and became hard and alert. "Well?" he asked. "What do you think of it?"
There was a moment of silence. "Did you ever see a brand-new baby?" "Lord, no!" Miss Demorest's gaze remained bent upon Pope, but it was focused upon great distances; her voice when she spoke was hushed and awe- stricken. "Neither did I until this one. I held it! I held it in my arms. Oh I was frightened, and yet I seemed to know just what to do and and everything. It was strange.
He focused his glasses. Some one in clerical attire accompanied by the man whom Beale recognized as the guard of the gate, was walking quickly down the drive. There was no time to be lost. But now for the first time doubts assailed him. His great scheme seemed more fantastic and its difficulties more real.
