Up and down the length of the dimly lighted platform David heard that clangor of bells, and as if determined to capture his stomach or die, the pop-eyed man never moved an inch from his window, while behind him there jostled and hurried an eager and steadily growing crowd of hungry people. David thought again of the woman in the third coach back. Was she getting off here, he wondered?
"You don't," said he. An immense pride in his father's wealth and his own suddenly surged in Fitz. He could give her all those things that she had renounced for his sake, and more, too. But he did not tell her at that time. The great ruby on the slim hand flashed its message about the festive board. Some of the best-bred ladies in the land threatened to become pop-eyed from looking at it. Mrs.
And then when we find it isn't as easy to readjust as they think, they yammer around pop-eyed and say 'Oh, what wild young people what naughty little wasters! They won't settle down and play Puss-in-the-corner at all and, oh dear, oh dear, how they drink and smoke and curse 'n everything!" "I'm awful afraid they might be right as to what's the trouble with us, though," says Oliver, didactically.
Bland had not shown up the pop-eyed little sneak! probably because he had already planned this treachery. He went back to his lonely room too utterly depressed to think. Apathetically he read the paper which his jailer brought him along with the tobacco which Johnny had sent for. Smoke was a dreary comfort the paper was not. The reporters had lost interest in him.
That guide of ours seemed to think he had done his whole duty toward us and could call it a day and knock off when he led us up to the jewel collections, where each case was surrounded by pop-eyed American tourists taking on flesh at the sight of all those sparklers and figuring up the grand total of their valuation in dollars, on the basis of so many hundreds of carats at so many hundred dollars a carat, until reason tottered on her throne and did not have so very far to totter, either.
"Put that plate back with the rest, Bob, you pop-eyed coyote," ordered Bad Pete. Bob, looking uneasy, started to do so, but Blaisdell waved him away. At that instant Jake Wren came back into the tent. "For the present, Jake," went on the assistant engineer, "serve only for seven in this tent. Pete is leaving us."

She had a rather pretty pink and white complexion, and aside from the defect of hairdressing might have been attractive.
She is a nurse, on her way to the hospital at Carrefonds. And this is Jacques Carton, who is her chauffeur?" A singularly stupid person, on the whole, he must have thought me, hardly fit to be trusted with so superb a car. My mouth, I fancy, was wide open; I can't swear that I wasn't pop-eyed. This last development had complete addled me. Marie Le Clair! Jacques Carton! Who were they?
Or if a very slender pop-eyed young comedian, while wiping his brow, says, "Now could I drink hot blood and hold it not a sin," and some one else calmly answers, "You haven't got those words right, and you couldn't drink anything hot to-day without having a fit." Or if two big, stalwart men, meeting in the "entrance," fall suddenly into each other's arms, with a cry of "Camille!" "Armand!"
