'these' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'look back over end of story' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'see' ().
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'over' indicates putting letters inside.
'end of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'story' is 'y'.
'see' in reverse letter order is 'ees'.
'ees' enclosing 'y' is 'EYES'.

'with' is the link.
