Well, since yesterday he did feel it, and a sudden sense of pity sprang up in him vague, shamefaced pity, which belied the sudden egotistical flourish with which he put his monocle to his eye and tried futilely to smile in the old way. He had lain with his eyes closed.
Once a year the girls hold what they call a doll show to see who has dressed her doll the best." "Ah, I see," said Mr. Todhunter; "a little friendly rivalry." "Purely friendly," said Patty. As they started for the dining-room Mr. Todhunter adjusted his monocle and took a parting look at the doll show. "I'm afraid you think us childish, Mr. Todhunter," said Patty.
"Ah, why do you say that?" she protested. He continued to smile indulgently upon her. "Would you really rather believe it true?" "I don't know. But I wish you hadn't thought of the beer." He brought the glare of his monocle to bear full upon her. "Why not? It is all we make sure of." So he had taken that side of it.
Then Jake Hough and his heavy hand, the flying monocle, and his disdainful, insulting reply; the sight of the pistol in the hand of Suzon's father; then a rush, a darkness, and his own fierce plunge towards the door, beyond which were the stars and the cool night and the dark river.
"You may draw on me for the amount," she said quietly. Garlock uncrossed his legs and sat up abruptly in the deep-seated chair. Tremlidge screwed his monocle into his eye and stared, while Campbell turned about sharply at the sound of Lloyd's voice with a murmur of astonishment. Bennett alone did not move.

"David," a serious creature with a monocle.
Vandeusen turning calmly on his heel to survey the distant lawns through his monocle, "a beggar, don't you know well, it isn't the pleasantest thing in the world to be called that, don't you know?" "Particularly when one isn't a beggar," said a young lady hotly. Then she turned to Joel and laid a hand on his arm. "Don't you mind it," she said.
Henry flushed, paled, wilted, wavered as he stood. Thrusting desperately his monocle into his eye, he strove to return stare for stare. After a moment Charles's high complacent laugh sounded disagreeably. He had made quite sure. "How do you do, Miss Montana? We haven't, I think, met since January, 1919." He turned to the puzzled committee.
"Hal and I'd just love to give you a summer on the ranch. Do you suppose it ever will be possible?" "Oh, I dare say," said the Honorable Percival, nonchalantly adjusting his monocle. The next morning the long voyage of the Saluria came to an end. The steamer docked at Hong-Kong just as the first pink streaks of dawn crept over the bay and the terraced city.
My eminent friend smiled his old crafty smile, as he waved his hands, and replied: "Why, you poor simp, it's all as plain as that little round window-pane called a monocle that you've got stuck in your eye there.
