"I can't take you by force, and it's pure madness to stay here longer." Baby Elizabeth, a big-eyed, solemn-faced mite of humanity, had come up now and stood staring the stranger silently from the side of her mother's skirts. "I hope for the best, but before God I never expect to see any of you again."
"You love the big-eyed lass, don't you?" asked Wetzel, turning with softened face and voice. "I have gone mad!" cried Jonathan, tortured by the simple question of his friend. Those big, dear, wonderful eyes he loved so well, looked at him now from the gloom of the thicket. The old, beautiful, soft glow, the tender light, was there, and more, a beseeching prayer to save her.
And before I got through, Naomi came at me, and tore the violin from me, and SWORE. And she said, 'You big-eyed brat, how did you know THAT? Then she took me by the arm and she hurt me, too, I can tell you and she put me right out in the rain and slammed the door." "The rude, unmannerly creature!" said Janet indignantly. "Oh, no, she was quite in the right," said Felix composedly.
Both Perry and Han showed pale countenances and looked big-eyed and pathetic. Neither displayed the least interest in dinner, while Joe, when cruelly summoned by Ossie, only groaned lugubriously and turned his pallid face to the wall. At two o'clock the sun broke through and dyed the sea a wonderful green, and the Adventurer began to meet other boats.
Now I wonder just what I would have done to escape such an experience? Slated myself for Belgian widowhood, perhaps, as a kinder fate, or stayed right there in New York to help Peter on "The Emergence." I wonder if Peter ever saw a dear, big-eyed, trustful old Jersey cow have medicine poured down her throat. It is called "drenching." I wish he could see it before he finishes that play.
Yet to such a man, poor little wan-faced, big-eyed Connie assumed imperious airs, mostly, but perhaps not entirely, for the fun of it; while he looked only enchanted every time she honored him with a little tyranny. "There! I'm tired," she would say, holding out her arms like a baby. "Carry me in."
Sandworth's, or of her husband's, and Mrs. Sandworth is Dr. Melton's sister. You're the big-eyed little girl who used to sit in a corner and sew while the doctor and I talked, and now," he brought it out rotundly, "you've been to Europe for a year, and you're grown-up." Lydia hung her head laughingly at his good-natured caricature. "Well, but I have, really and truly," she protested, "all of that.
The Oriental's quaint irreverence was of the letter and not of the spirit. Through the swing door burst Bob Dillon. "Know where there's a rifle, June?" She looked at him, big-eyed. "Not the Utes again?" she gasped. "Bank robbers. I want a gun." Without a word she turned and led him swiftly down the passage to a bedroom. In one corner of it was a belt. Bob loaded the gun. June's heart beat fast.
"And now, Kari, let us start as soon as possible before I become as mad from staring at those trees and flowers and those big-eyed natives, that you say would make me a king, as you tell me you were when you left your country. Whether we shall ever find that country I cannot say.
Laying the reins down over the dash-board, Lans turned to Cynthia, his passion gaining power over him as the sense of possession lashed it sharply. The pretty big-eyed girl was his! He had secured her by the sacredest ties, but for that very reason he need withhold himself no longer. "Wife!" he whispered. "Wife, come; sweet, come!" This was no play.
