His walking about the garden at night was not, then, for the purpose of looking at her window. Rhoda coloured in all her dark crimson with shame for thinking that it had been so. "I must decide to-morrow morning." "They say, the pillow's the best counsellor." A reply that presumed she would sleep appeared to her as bitterly unfriendly. "Did father wish it?" "Not by what he spoke."
The next room is most interesting, for it is a small ball-room, the ball-room in fact of Her Majesty the Queen. It has a beautiful inlaid floor, a white ceiling worked in relief, crimson and gold curtains, and furniture of the First Empire, some of it upholstered in gold silk, with a variety of colours intermixed.
She leaped quickly into the doorway before him, and stood facing him, framed in the climbing roses. "Oh, Mr. Hopper!" she cried. "Please, not in here." He drew back, staring in astonishment at the crimson in her face. "Why not?" he asked suspiciously almost brutally. She had been groping wildly for excuses, and found none. "Because," she said, "because I ask you not to."
Ill fated Yorick! that the gravest of thy brethren should be able to write that to the world, which stains thy face with crimson to copy, even in thy study. But this is nothing to my travels.

And when the morning came, the flames were still leaping high against the crimson sky of dawn. For days this burning of villages continued.
Too kind for bitter words to grieve, Too firm for clamor to dismay, When Faith forbids thee to believe, And Meekness calls to disobey, Ah, then beware of mortal pride! The smiling pride that calmly scorns Those foolish fingers, crimson dyed In laboring on thy crown of thorns!
When she had walked a mile she came to an opening where the ground dipped all round to a bottom which had evidently at some time held water, for the flame-weed that grew thick upon it stood even, the tops of its magenta flowers as level as a lake it was, in fact, a lake of faded crimson lying between shores of luxuriant green.
His voice harshened and broke with a despair that was all the more terrible for the deadness of his tone. "God! That's why the whiskey won't work.
