Old Taller placed the hat upright on the ground and solemnly sat upon it, crushing it as flat as a pancake. Hackett had viewed these proceedings with wide-open eyes. Sam Holly saw that his anger was rising and said to him: "Here's where you win or lose, Judge. There are sixty votes on the Diamond Cross. The boys are trying your mettle. Take it as a joke, and I don't think you'll regret it."
I could see the green shine of our riding lantern in his wide-open eyes, and from time to time I could hear him muttering to himself, "What is it? What is it? What the devil is it, anyhow?" But it was not his attitude, nor the fact of his being so broad awake at the unseasonable hour, nor yet his unaccountable words, that puzzled me the most.
Seeing two rows of houses with brightly lighted windows and wide-open doors, and hearing gay strains of pianos and violins, sounds which floated out from every door and mingled in a strange chaos, as though an unseen orchestra were tuning up in the darkness above the roofs, Vassilyev was surprised and said: "What a lot of houses!" "That's nothing," said the medical student.
He seemed to have vanished, and for some reason I hesitated to speak of him to Bristol; for my gaze fell upon an excessively thin, keen-faced man whose curiously wide-open eyes met mine smilingly, whose gray suit spoke Stein-Bloch, whose felt was a Boss raw-edge unmistakably of a kind that only Philadelphia can produce.
"Who brought it?" I inquired. "Mr Horsey, sir." Susan stammered the name, and looked confused. "He waits an answer, sir." Haco Barepoles had been eyeing his daughter gravely the while. He now sprang up with the wild energy that was his peculiar characteristic, and flinging the door wide-open with a crash that shook the whole framework of the berth, stood face to face with Dan Horsey.
Burke had already informed me that after he made fast the front door he ran back to the rear stairs he was afraid to pass again the body on the landing where he observed the rear door wide-open. This he also closed and locked, then hurried up to the second floor, being governed by only one idea to secure, as quickly as he possibly could, Maillot's companionship.
Hanson, I knowing nothing and he knowing everything. He knew what you had been paid, and he even knew that you had taken a note." Lucy stared at Montague with wide-open eyes. "Allan!" she gasped. "You see what it means," he said. "I told you that you could not keep your doings secret.
Here is a dense shoal of fish, moving slowly along near the surface. To catch some is quite easy. The Dolphin, or Shark, or other large fish-hunter, merely has to rush into their ranks with wide-open mouth. Hordes of Dog-fish feast on the edges of the shoal. And Gannets, Cormorants, Gulls and other sea-birds can take their fill with ease.
But Domini with wide-open eyes, was staring from her big, square pillow at the red brick floor of her bedroom, on which stood various trunks marked by the officials of the Douane. There were two windows in the room looking out towards the Place de la Marine, below which lay the station. Closed persiennes of brownish-green, blistered wood protected them. One of these windows was open.
His tent, prepared for the day, consisted of a canvas wall with a wide-open space all around, between it and the roof; and the whole internal economy was ingenuously open to public gaze.
