Another method of throwing the eyes out of focus and enabling one to judge of large relationships, is to dilate them widely. exclaimed Caderousse, whose countenance flushed darkly as he caught the penetrating gaze of the abbe fixed on him, while the clear, calm eye of the questioner seemed to dilate with feverish scrutiny.
