And I suppose I must have craned my head forward, for I had a sudden glimpse of things a close quick downward glimpse of a pepper-and-salt waistcoat and of two great hairy hands clasped across it. Then darkness again.
That heavy sense of injustice somewhat deadened any pricks of guilt when, later, she stealthily removed the pepper-and-salts from the upstairs store-closet. But Aunt Nettie's eagle eyes chanced to see her. She went to Mrs. Merriam. "What do you suppose Missy wants of those old pepper-and-salt pants?" "I don't know, Nettie. Why?"

R and P , notwithstanding the difficulty of throwing their flies daintily, from the uneasy motion of the pram, discovered another more serious obstacle to this united possession of the same pram; for, now and then, P 's silver pheasant fly would buz very close to R 's right ear, and R 's white moth fly would hover around and settle at last on P 's pepper-and-salt cloth cap, and whisk it into the water.
We had a white blanket spread in our hammock. Every time I turned in I found the Congo's black wool worked in with the white worsted.

He had been turning over the matter in his mind, and for several reasons had come to this conclusion.
"Oh, child! if he is so good to you, I ought not to say; but he was a powerful, grim-looking man, with fierce eyes and a thick mustache, and hair almost pepper-and-salt; and bless your soul, honey! his shoulders were as broad as a barn-door. While he talked I didn't like his countenance, it was dark like a pirate's, or one of those prowling cattle-thieves over in the coves.
