| глазом моргнуть не успел | in an instant (также "глазом моргнуть не успеешь": The oversized eyes shone green, and the legs were bent backwards at a “severe angle to the body.” Tim was apparently paralyzed with fear in the presence of this unearthly monstrosity, but in an instant the thing was gone and the dread dissipated.

| подальше от любопытных глаз | well away from prying eyes (In this time gone by it would have been illegal not to attend established church services, and to perform your own church service would have been strictly illegal, this is probably why this isolated spot would have been chosen, well away from prying eyes and the authorities.  wordpress.com ART Vancouver) |
