It was lifelike, she could have counted the buds embroidered on the girl's blouse, their rose-pink reflected in the hot flush on Hyde's cheek and the glow in his eyes as he stooped over her.
I did not speak for a moment or two, but felt the hot blood flush into my face as I stood there looking him full in the eyes, and unable to withdraw my gaze. "Yes, uncle," I said at last. "I did not want to be, but a serpent is such a horrible thing, and I am afraid." "Yes, it is a horrible monster, Nat," he said quietly. "I don't like them myself, but if we could kill it "
"I am not indebted to your servant for my knowledge concerning you, sir. I wish to leave this place; stand aside and let me pass." The red flush had returned to her cheeks, the dangerous sparkle to her eyes; her courage and spirits rose in response to his sneering pleasantries. Her nerves were tempered like steel. He little dreamed of the courage, strength and power she could pit against him.
And Death, knowing that Heracles could hold him there, and that the business of the god of the Underworld would be left undone if he were held, promised that he would leave the temple without bringing one with him. Then Heracles took his grip off Death, and that stony shape went from the temple. Soon a flush came into the face of Alcestis as Heracles watched over her.
A slight flush crossed the Colonel's cheek as he returned quickly and a little stiffly, "On the contrary er it may make it impossible for me to er act in this matter." The girl lifted her eyes.

By the time we had half finished the second bottle, Simon's head, which I knew was a weak one, had begun to yield, while I remained calm as ever, only that every draught seemed to send a flush of vigor through my limbs. Simon's utterance became more and more indistinct. He took to singing French chansons of a not very moral tendency.
A woman, tall, flushed, and angry-eyed, stood before him in the path. She opened her lips, but no sound came Mr. Hazelton was lifting his hat.
