In one swift look of vexed surprise,
And thus he hastened to aver,

And that makes me so sad you see.”

In reply to the usual question whether she had anything to declare, she said, “No,” most positively; but on the officer shaking her dress the deception was exposed, and in spite of her “No’s,” the eyes had it. But how absurd of the fair smuggler to hope to escape detection when every eye was upon her!
