It is unfortunately, however, painted with the favourite brick-red colour of the Swedes. Two immense cannons, which the Swedes once gained in battle from the Russians, stand in the courtyard. The apartments in the castle, which are kept in good condition, display neither splendour nor profusion of appointments, indeed almost the contrary.
'Whereabouts? asked Robert, wondering the while at his own start of interest. 'In that bit of common t'other side the big pond, said Ned pointing, his brick-red countenance kindling into suppressed excitement. 'Come and show me! said the Rector, and the two went off together.
This bayeta or baize was unravelled and the Indian woman often retwisted the warp to make it firmer. She then rewove it into her incomparable blankets. From the earliest days the Navahos have been expert dyers, their colors being black, brick-red, russet, blue, yellow, and a greenish yellow akin to an old gold shade.
"We shall need you as guide." "As guide? But the count? If I were to fall into his hands? Ah, colonel " The Prussian commander waved him away. "Send Captain Baumgarten to me at once," said he. The officer who answered the summons was a man of middle-age, heavy-jawed, blue-eyed, with a curving yellow moustache, and a brick-red face which turned to an ivory white where his helmet had sheltered it.
The first little range is composed of a brecciated purple porphyritic claystone, with obscurely marked strata dipping at 70 degrees to the S.W.; the other ranges consist of a pale-coloured feldspathic porphyry, a purple claystone porphyry with grains of quartz, and a rock almost exclusively composed of brick-red crystals of feldspar.
"You'll get in bad with the wrong man some time. Hello, here are Joe and Brick!" Mention of these fellows engaged my attention once more. I saw two cowboys, one evidently getting his name from his brick-red hair. They were the roistering type, hard drinkers, devil-may-care fellows, packing guns and wearing bold fronts a kind that the Rangers always called four-flushes.
'I am under oath to a certain one to use no violence upon this man, Throckmorton said, 'and to encourage no other to do violence. Poins thrust his round, brick-red brow out like a turkey cock's from the boat cloak into Throckmorton's face. 'I am under no oath of yourn! he shouted. Throckmorton shrugged his shoulders and wagged one finger at him. 'No oath o' yourn! the boy repeated.
His small, narrow eyes, which resembled those of a Kalmyk, became oily with pleasure. His cheeks became covered with a brick-red ruddiness. When the girls walked off to one side he gave a wink at Trirodov in their direction, and said in a sotto voce: "A flower garden, eh?" Trirodov looked severely at the Commissary, who became flustered and rather angry.
Jacques Collin, whose face was of a brick-red hue, for a scarcely perceptible moment turned white, almost ashy; all his blood rushed to his heart, so furious and maddening was his longing to spring on this dangerous reptile and crush it; but he controlled the brutal impulse, suppressing it with the force that made him so formidable.
The desert is as level as a floor; not a mound as high as a kneeling camel. The sun sinks in the west. Like a red-hot cannon-ball it shines through a rift between dark clouds, and a shaft of dazzling red rays streams over the desert, the surface of which shines like a purple sea. To the north the sky is of a dark violet colour, and against this background the camels stand out brick-red.
