The reader should understand that this egret is between four and five feet in length, and measures nearly five feet from wing tip to wing tip, and that its plumage throughout is of spotless white. It is pitiful to think how constantly a bird of that size and color must be in danger of its life.
They were stories made so splendid and full of color in the telling that Marco could not forget them. As he walked through the streets, he was thinking of one of these stories. It was one he had heard first when he was very young, and it had so seized upon his imagination that he had asked often for it.
The color of this picture was like the sound of silver trumpets; the heart-throb of the strings was missing. Mary was neither morbid nor introspective, but at this time her whole being was keyed to more than normal comprehension.
She was a beautiful vision in her soft white gown, quite untouched by any color, her hair piled high upon her small, finely shaped head. "Did you call me, Graham?" she asked. "Yes," he said, "I wanted to see you all dressed." She went quickly and sat on the edge of the bed. "Did they serve you a nice dinner, Graham?" she asked. He nodded. "Very nice," he answered.
A fine spotted stag is the perfection of elegance, color, strength, courage and speed. He has a proud and thorough-bred way of carrying his head, which is set upon his neck with a peculiar grace. Nothing can surpass the beauty of his full black eye. His hide is as sleek as satin a rich brown, slightly tinged with red, and spotted as though mottled with flakes of snow.

When this effusion reached Alice the mountains around Sandgate were just putting on their autumn glory of color, and that night when she sat on the porch and heard the katydids in the fast thinning foliage of the elms she had what she called an old-fashioned fit of the blues. And how lonely it was there, too!
Mother's a suffragist, but" there came another wave of faint color along with her smile "but well, she's awfully respectable, you know." She didn't seem to mind his laughing out at that, though she didn't join him. "What about the other interesting member of the family," he asked presently, "your sister? Which is she, a suffragist or a feminist?"
Grace's color deepened. "I promised to trust her," she said at last. "At first I felt just as you do about this. Then I talked with her. She seemed honest and sincere. I decided that perhaps it would be better not to force her confidence. Young girls are often likely to make mountains of mole-hills. Still, Emma thinks just as you do," she added. "She didn't at first, but she does now.
