I thought there was some analogy between their employment and my own: I was about to tan my northern complexion by exposing myself to the hot sun of Spain, in the humble hope of being able to cleanse some of the foul stains of Popery from the minds of its children, with whom I had little acquaintance, whilst they were bronzing themselves on the banks of the river in order to make white the garments of strangers: the words of an eastern poet returned forcibly to my mind.
The disease began suddenly in the woman, but gradually in the man. Crocker has reported a case somewhat similar to these two, under the head of general bronzing without constitutional symptoms, in a Swedish sailor of twenty-two, with rapid onset of pigmentation.
He cast a last look at the brown adobe quadrangle of the quiet house, just touched with the bronzing of the sun, and then turned his face towards the highway. As he passed the angle of the old garden he hesitated, but, strong in his resolution, he put the recollection of last night behind him, and rode by without raising his eyes. "Clarence!" It was HER voice. He wheeled his horse.
"I am infinitely sorry, but " "But you refuse?" "I certainly cannot comply with Monsieur's request." The stranger, for all his bronzing, grew pale with rage. "Do not compel me, Monsieur, to say what I must think of your conduct, if you persist in this determination," he said fiercely. Müller smiled, but made no reply. "You absolutely refuse to yield up the sketch?" "Absolutely."
The weather was bronzing and melting hot, but your brother would insist on being bronzed and melted there during the heat of the day, in a stoical style disdaining a parasol, though why it should be more unmanly to use a parasol than a parapluie I cannot, for the sense of me, understand.
Of the two sexes, the men are the better proportioned, both in the matter of figures and features. They have light complexions, barring the bronzing of the skin due to constant exposure, light hair, blue eyes, and reasonably well-formed noses. Both men and women have frank and open countenances.
Here the glass roof stands open all the summer long, for the breezes to blow and the soft rains to fall upon the petted plants; and here the sunshine holds high revel, bronzing the intricate tracery of stem and branch and turning half the leaves to shining emeralds.
Gilbert had never discerned that Anna was not like the other Exeter girls, but was a law unto herself. Alma sat down by her window and looked out over the lane where the slim wild cherry trees were bronzing under the autumn frosts. Her lips were very firmly set. Something must be done. But what? Alma's heart was set on this marriage for two reasons.
Meantime; there was Vittoria's letter to occupy him as he went. We will leave him to his bronzing ride through the mulberries and the grapes, and the white and yellow and arid hues of the September plain, and make acquaintance with some of his comrades of that proud army which Vittoria thought would stand feebly against the pouring tide of Italian patriotism.
The sun shone as it can shine in the neighbourhood of the equator, and the sea looked like so much glistening oil, as it slowly heaved up and sank with the long ground swell, the light flashing from the surface attacking the eyes with blinding power, bronzing the faces of some, peeling the noses of others.
