On Sundays, under the tropic sun or in the ash-colored light of the northern heavens, the boatswain would read the Bible. The men would listen thoughtfully with uncovered heads. The women had dressed themselves in black with lace headdress and mittened hands. He went to Newfoundland to load codfish. There is where the warm current from the Gulf of Mexico meets that from the Poles.
At a short distance from her there was a young woman of twenty-three or twenty-four, courted like a queen and somewhat confused by the many questions addressed to her; robed in a white gown, she was extremely pretty, fair, and wore natural roses in her ash-colored hair, her eyes had a wondering expression, her cheeks were flushed, and in her amiable, gracious manner, she disclosed a touch of provincialism, modesty and hesitation Marianne heard Madame Gerson say to her neighbors: "It is the minister's wife."
"Well?" said Captain Von Tollig, when the man appeared at headquarters, and the orderly who had brought him had retired. "The little book, Señor. You said I could have it back, and go." "Yes. You may go. I will have you sent safely through our lines; but the book I have decided to keep." The man's face grew ash-colored with disappointment or anger. "But, Señor," he protested. "You told me "
A scornful, savage expression swept over Marat's ash-colored, dirty face, and he nodded lightly to his allies. Santerre and Simon returned the nod, and they, turning to their companions, gave the signal by raising the right hand. Suddenly the applause was overborne by loud whistling and shouting, derisive laughter, and wild curses.
Laughter mingled with their jeers at the absurd figure he presented, fulminating and flying at the same time. But there was no defiance left in him when they were beyond the village, and he fell back into his seat, his face now ash-colored. "If they'd stopped us my life wouldn't have been worth the asking," he muttered hoarsely. "But I did it!"
Since she had thus watched over them she had begun to look like her old self, with her little white face, the face of a nun vowed to chastity; her calm ash-colored eyes, which expressed the resignation of her thirty years of servitude.
The clear, ash-colored cervical interval between the crown and the back and the distinct brown loral and auricular space told me plainly who the little charmers were. Not at the moment, however, for the birds were new to me, and I had to wait until I could consult my manual before I was able to decide that they were the clay-colored sparrows.
Not a cholera patient lies at the last gasp but I also lie at the last gasp; My face is ash-colored my sinews gnarl away from me people retreat. "Askers embody themselves in me, and I am embodied in them; I project my hat, sit shame-faced and beg."
There was no time for debate, and Harry did as bidden. Fortner stepped into the inky shadow of a large rock, against which he leaned. The great broad face of the rock, gray from its covering of minute ash-colored lichens, was toward the pursuers, and shone white as marble in the flood of moonlight. The darkness seemed banked up around him, but within his arm's length it was as light as day.
Then away they went, three wherries full, and Master Gyles behind them in a brisk sixpenny tilt-boat, resplendent in new ash-colored hose, a cloak of black velvet fringed with gold, and a brand-new periwig curled and frizzed like a brush-heap in a gale of wind. How they had worked for the last few days!
