Garry needs his friends now, more than he ever did, and and when you meet him will you will you, please, not let him see that you notice how much he has changed?" Barbara put one hand upon his elbow, and again in that moment of contact the directness of her appeal made Steve think of a slim and clear-eyed boy.
They were of many breeds, but their common life had formed of them a certain type a lean and wiry type, with trail-hardened muscles, and sun-browned faces, and untroubled souls which gazed frankly forth, clear-eyed and steady. They drove the dogs of the Queen, wrought fear in the hearts of her enemies, ate of her meager fare, and were happy.
He was as straight as an arrow, wiry, lean, clear-eyed, and had, without food, ridden twelve hours after some strayed cattle. On arriving he threw off his saddle, turned his horse loose, and set about the construction of supper. This consisted of boiled meat, strong tea, and an incredible number of flapjacks built of water, baking-powder, salt, and flour, warmed through not cooked in a frying-pan.
At dawn she requested her maid to lift the window-blind and give her an opinion of the weather. 'Grey, Miss, the maid reported. It signified to Cecilia: no one roaming outside. The step she was taking was a desperate attempt at a cure; and she commenced it, though sorely wounded, with pity for Nevil's disappointment, and a singularly clear-eyed perception of his aims and motives.
He raised his glass and drank. He set the glass down quickly as if he would have liked to hide it.

You fellows all know Hartley Graham? Sit down. We're going to have a little cocktail."
There was something fascinating about the fellow's clear-eyed assurance as he cheerfully answered: "If you please, Polly." "It will take you four hundred hours now to make your million," Gresham advised him, with scarcely concealed contempt. "I'm no loafer," Gamble declared. They all laughed at that. "I beg your pardon," apologized Gresham. "Let's see.
I saw them afloat, I saw them coming ashore in that Irish port, these young destroyer captains, after five wakeful nights at sea, weather-bitten, clear-eyed, trained down to the last ounce. One, with whom I had played golf on the New England hills, carried his clubs in his hand and invited me to have a game with him.
Any theory /their/ brains find "unthinkable" cannot be true. A second typical weakness of this race will come from their fears. They are not either self-sufficing or gallant enough to travel great roads without cringing, clear-eyed, unafraid. They are finely made, but not nobly made, in that sense. They will therefore have a too urgent need of religion.
But, now that Ronicky Doone had entered the tangle, everything was changed. That clear-eyed fellow might see through to the very bottom of Mark's tidewater plans. He might step in and cut the Gordian knot by simply paying off Jerry's debts. Telling the boy to laugh at the danger of exposure, Doone could snatch him away to the West.
You would be sorry, but I would be lost." Her coolness disconcerted him. Two small triangular bits of color showed in his face. He had been prepared for tears, even for a refusal to return, but this clear-eyed appraisal of himself, and the accuracy of it, confused him.
