It was a benign house, like a sleepy mastiff, and seemed to tolerate with lazy indifference the presence of its two narrow, high-backed neighbours, which with their cold, unblinking windows, looked like sinister, half-fed cats. We had not been long at Mrs. Handsomebody's before we made friends with Bishop Torrance.
Reed nodded, his fiery eyes fixed unblinking on the riverman. "But you haven't been quite square to us," said Orde. "You aren't giving us much show to get our logs out." "How so?" snapped the owner, his thin lips tightening. "Oh, I guess you know, all right," laughed Orde, clambering leisurely back to the top of the dam. "That sluice is a good six foot too high."
Still, since as a matter of fact, these items have been based upon superficial observations colored by the tradition and verbiage of the milieu, they are valuable more as human documents, as material for the psychologist, than as scientifically obtained data, able to stand unblinking before the rays of the critical searchlights.
"Well I thought perhaps you could give me news of Dinah" he said. "Billy tells me he left you with her this morning." "I see" said Scott. He looked at the other man with level, unblinking eyes.

Straight and unblinking he looked into her eyes, and she, returning the look, was chilled and frightened by his glittering eyes, cold and harsh, withal bloodshot, and with no hint in them of the warm humanness she had been accustomed to see and feel in human eyes.

He neither rose, nor otherwise noticed the approach of his visitors. Gwynne called, shouted, approached the verge of profanity, but he might as well have addressed the silent forest. Isabel elevated her nose.
On such occasions his unblinking stare, wholly receptive like an underling taking orders, and never a glimmer of either contradiction or agreement or even intelligence to show therein, was almost disconcerting.
