The three men stood awkwardly before her, till Varick, always the most self-possessed, dashed into an explanatory phrase. "We I had to see Waythorn a moment on business," he stammered, brick-red from chin to nape. Haskett stepped forward with his air of mild obstinacy.

Her first thought, after striking, was one of self-congratulation that her safety stirrup and habit had behaved properly.

Other people had had this impression of him on first acquaintance his size, his genial, brick-red face, and his honest blue eyes all doubtless contributing.
Her beady black eyes, her brick-red cheeks and hanks of coarse hair, were not beautiful to look upon, though to-day they were at their best, for the harsh voice was softened, and there was a humid gentleness in the eyes not habitual to them.
Flowers fragrant, 6 in. across, resembling those of the night-blossoming Cereus grandiflorus; sepals greenish-white, petals pure white. A compact plant, with numerous large, brick-red flowers, 5 in. to 6 in. in diameter. P. Conway's Giant. Flowers full, deep scarlet, about 8 in. in diameter.

It was brick-red and wrinkled; there were two bright eyes, and a tuft of dark hair over the forehead. Then the eyes closed, the face screwed itself up, and the thing sneezed twice. "Where did you GET it?" he asked, absolutely lost in astonishment as she covered the face again gently with the scarf. "I found it in the woods," replied Emmeline.
Red, of all shades from lurid brick-red to brilliant scarlet, indicates anger; brutal anger will show as flashes of lurid red from dark brown clouds, while the anger of "noble indignation" is a vivid scarlet, by no means unbeautiful, though it gives an unpleasant thrill; a particularly dark and unpleasant red, almost exactly the colour called dragon's blood, shows animal passion and sensual desire of various kinds.
Sir Seymour's brick-red, weather-beaten face took on a darker, almost a purplish, hue, and the hand that had been holding the mantelpiece tightened into a fist.

Arabian had pushed out his full under-lip and was staring now intently at Sir Seymour.
