"She is handsome as a wild tulip." "Bright as the torch-flower of the prairies," added Uncle George. When William made these compliments intelligible to A-lee-lah, she maintained her customary Indian composure of manner, but her brown cheeks glowed like an amber-colored bottle of claret in the sunshine.
As an indication of his sentiments at this announcement, the barman, who was engaged in the mixture of a mysterious decoction, said, as he poured an amber-colored fluid into the glass: "This wan is fur grief at the goin', an' this wan" pouring from another bottle "is fur good luck when ye git there," and he pushed the mixture toward Dennis.
Forsheu, his hat doffed, escorted her to her carriage, into the amber-colored lining of which she gracefully settled her majestic self, as a slightly-browned gentleman in livery closed the bright door, took her order with servile bows, and having motioned to the coachman, the carriage rolled away, and was soon out of sight.
While her friends Oyouki-San, Madame Touki, and others, delight in gay-striped stuffs, and thrust gorgeous ornaments in their chignons, she always wears navy-blue or neutral gray, fastened round her waist with great black sashes brocaded in tender shades, and she puts nothing in her hair but amber-colored tortoiseshell pins.
"Are you enamored of Catalina?" he asked. The captain's amber-colored eyes, malicious and focused steadily on Jaime, would not permit him to lie. Enamored?...

Lord Ashfrith was carving a peach-stone when the end came, and the odor of peaches clung to his body.
The fact is, that the details of farm-life the muddy boots, the sweaty workers, the amber-colored pools, the wallowing pigs are not of a kind to warrant or to call out any burning imprint of verse. "Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy," and for these the poet must soar above the barn-yard and the house-tops.
One of the men with Owen did see Sanderson, though, and he looked up impudently, and smilingly pushed a filled glass of amber-colored liquor toward Owen. "You ain't half drinkin', Owen," he said. Sanderson reached over, took the glass, threw its contents on the floor and grasped Owen by the shoulder. His gaze met the tempter's, coldly. "My friend ain't drinkin' no more tonight," he declared.
Tullamore stands among great beech woods and gardens on one side of a valley, at the bottom of which, half hidden by rhododendrons, an amber-colored stream descends in waterfalls to the sea. The slopes opposite to the house are thickly fledged with larches up to a certain height, when they suddenly give place to the wildness of the Mourne Mountains.
It was an obviously pretty face, all the youth and prettiness there for your very first glance; elaborately pretty, like the splendid profusion of hair about and above it amber-colored hair, upon which so much time had been spent that a circle of large, round curls rose above the mass of it like golden bubbles tipping a coronet.
