"Y-you, Dud Hollister an' Tom Reeves, I'm servin' a subpoena on you lads as w-witnesses at a w-weddin'," he said in the high wheeze that sounded so funny coming from his immense bulk. "Whose wedding?" demanded Reeves, a lank youth with a brick-red face, the nose of which had been broken. "N-none of yore darned business." "Do we get to kiss the bride?"
The upper part of these block-houses projected on every side several feet beyond the ground floor, and over the whole was a sheathing of planks, which, as well as those covering the barracks of the officers, were painted of a brick-red colour.
Morning-glories nodded over lodge walls where the ivy was turning crimson, and the little gardens were masses of colours French colours like that in the beds of the Tuileries, brick-red geraniums and dahlias, yellow marigolds and purple asters.
It is built generally of carefully hewn logs, painted a deep brick-red, covered with a green sheet-iron roof, and surmounted by two onion-shaped domes of tin which are sometimes coloured sky-blue and spangled with golden stars. Standing with all its glaring contrasts of colour among a few unpainted log houses in a primitive wilderness, it has a strange picturesque appearance not easily described.
The following forenoon the liveryman at the Junction brought to Millville a passenger who had arrived by the morning train a quiet, boyish-looking man with a shock of brick-red hair and a thin, freckled face. He was driven directly to the Merrick farm, where Uncle John received him cordially, but with surprise, and at once favored the new arrival with a long interview in his private room.
Least of all was she prepared when Parson Rasba said with an unsteady voice: "Theh's a man sick in that other boat, and likely he'd like to see somebody." "Oh, if there's anything I can do!" she exclaimed, as a woman does. He led the way to the brick-red little boat, the like of which could be found in a thousand river eddies. She followed him on board and over to the bed.
Never on earth could he have stopped a pig in a lane. A stubby beard covered the lower half of his brick-red face. The most striking thing about Herky-Jerky, however, was his perpetual grin. He looked very jolly, yet every time he opened his mouth it was to utter bad language. He cursed the fire, the pans, the coffee, the biscuits, all of which he handled most skillfully.
The deposit is dissolved by a solution of chloride of lime, turned yellow by sulphide of ammonium after evaporation; on the addition of strong nitric acid, evaporated and neutralized with ammonia and nitrate of silver added, a brick-red colour is produced arseniate of silver. Reinsch's Process.
"Not yet, not yet, gentlemen. I have not seen the President yet. The fact is ahem my Congressman is out of town." He was not used to evasions of this kind, and he stammered slightly and his yellow face turned brick-red with shame. "It is most annoying," he went on, "most annoying. Mr. Barker won't be back for a week, and I don't want to call on the President until I have had a talk with him."
John looked all about him, drinking the clear air like wine; then, his eyes returned to the cabman's face as he sat, not ungleefully, awaiting John's communication, with the air of one looking to be tipped. The features of that face were hard to read, drink had so swollen them, drink had so painted them, in tints that varied from brick-red to mulberry.
