"I shall not argue the point with you not now; but tell me," with a very steady gaze into her eyes, "has anything happened since I left to waken up your soul? It was by no means asleep when I saw you last, but it has met with an eye-opener of some kind, I am convinced." "I should not have given you credit for so much imagination, Mr. De Burgh."
"Command me, sir; command me!" suavely replied the stick stricken in years. The scene had been an eye-opener to the tender youth of the little Mivanes; the pomp and circumstance of a sentimental disclosure they would never forget.
The sun had scarcely risen, and I was sitting in the cosy cabin of my yacht enjoying my "chota hazree," which, being interpreted, means "lesser presence," and in Anglo-Indian speech signifies an "eye-opener" of tea and toast the greater presence appears some hours later and we call it breakfast.

"Don't speak of it! For an eye-opener there is nothing like a glass of milk," gayly answered the colonel. They entered the best room of the house, wide, low-ceiled, dimly lit by two small windows, and fortified against the winter by a huge Canada stove of cast-iron. It was rude but neat, and had an air of decent comfort.
"It must have been rather an eye-opener for you, watching me handle this case." "Yes, sir." "The simple, direct method never fails." "No, sir." "Whereas the elaborate does." "Yes, sir."
