The famous coloured boxer is still alive and hearty, and it would be hard to tell the difference between him and Jim Billings were it not that the prize-fighter dresses smartly. Jim doesn't; his huge chest is set off by a coarse white jumper; his corded arms are usually bared nearly to the elbow, and his vast shock of twining curls relieves him generally from the trouble of wearing headgear.
Lucy's wavered; she coloured all over, and hid her face on the bounteous breast that mounted to her. "You're a sweet one," murmured the soft woman, patting her back, and rocking her.

Many books could not have depicted the people round Vernons so well as this scribbling of a child.
Hans, who had observed this scene and overheard all Marais's talk, and who also knew the state of the case well enough, sidled his horse alongside of me, and whispered in a wheedling voice: "Baas, I think the old baas is kransick and not safe. He looks like one who is going to harm someone. Now, baas, suppose I let my gun off by accident; you know we coloured people are very careless with guns!

In the male the basal margin of the anal fin is also a little produced and dark coloured. Gunther, is striped with bright colours.
