"I believe," said Lady Caroline, one day, interrupting her maid in a glowing eulogium upon the skill of "M. Leetell," "I believe you are in love with this professor." A quick flush crossed the olive cheek of Therese, which Lady Caroline afterward remembered. The eventful day of trial came. The public were gathered, impatient and scornful as the pig-headed public are apt to be.
"But, my dear," she said, "we must get everything ready; so it is very necessary to know." "There is nothing to be got ready, so far as I am aware," he replied, with a flush on his face, and the look of a man who is making a stand against his opponents. "I am not going up this term, if that is what you mean." Then all three looked at him with different degrees of remonstrance, protest, or appeal.
"Can't say I have," replied Toomey in a tone that made the Major flush as he shook the extended hand without warmth. To cover his confusion, the Major turned to the sheepherder whose soft brown eyes held an amused look. "Er Joe I'll make you acquainted with Mr. Jasper Toomey, one of our leadin' stockmen in these parts."
Elias Smith listened to me without uttering a word, but not without several times refilling his glass and mine. While he puffed steadily at his pipe, the close attention which he gave me was beyond question. I saw his cheeks flush at times, and his eyes gleam under their bushy brows.

I have no doubt the doctor had recounted our interview, and by the sparkle of her eye, and the flush on her face, as she so closely embraced me, she showed that already her passions were excited, and she was longing for the hour in which she could indulge them. However, all that day, they were kept under restraint.
When I got all this money I was flush again; and distributed it around among my friends and comrades, ten dollars to one, and twenty to another, as their necessities seemed to warrant, keeping what I thought would do me until I got out, or could make another raise.
A large man of unmistakable American make, but with so little that was of New England or New York in his presence that she might not at once have thought him American, lounged toward them with a quill toothpick in the corner of his mouth. At his approach Burnamy turned, and with a flush said: "Oh! Let me introduce Mr. Stoller, Mrs. March."
No jail would be strong enough to keep them away from you." Buck was silent, dogged. "But suppose we were to let you go scot free?" Buck started. A great flush covered his face.
