Had this been the sum of his duties, he had been an admirable monarch. Lady after lady was impartially honoured by his attention. "Madam," he said to one, "how does this happen? I find you daily more adorable." "And your Highness daily browner," replied the lady. "We began equal; oh, there I will be bold: we have both beautiful complexions. But while I study mine, your Highness tans himself."
In the rear, on the other side of the hall, was the kitchen with its big brick oven, its yawning fireplace overhung with corpulent iron pots or shining copper kettles depending from numerous gallows-like cranes; with its glittering copper, brass and pewter utensils arrayed on snowy-shelves; with its spotless tables, Its freshly-sanded floor and its heavily-beamed, whitewashed ceiling, from which hung many a bunch of savory herbs or string of red pepper-pods or bunch of seed-corn, or perhaps even a round-backed ham, to get a little browner in the smoke that would sometimes pour out from the half-ignited mass of peat.
"I esteem you more and more," said he. "You ought, for it has been a hard struggle to me not to adore you, because you are so improved, mon cousin." "Is it possible? In what respect?" "You are browner and charitabler; and I should have been very kind to you mawkishly kind, I fear, my sweet cousin, if this wretched money had not gone down in the Tisbe." "Hallo!" cried the viscount.
The scene was occasionally enlivened by the bright purple tints of the dogwood, blended with the browner shades of the dwarf birch and frequently intermixed with the gay yellow flowers of the shrubby cinquefoil. With all these charms the scene appeared desolate from the want of human species.
Dian could not comprehend it at all; he said in Italian: "But it surely cannot be you; you look old." He thought he was speaking German all the time, till he heard Albano answer in Italian. Both gave and received only questions. Albano found the architect merely browner, but there was the lightning of the eyes and every faculty in its old glory.
"You seem to be in a browner mood than usual!" "I am a little thoughtful, or abstracted, just as you please," replied the individual addressed. "Are you, indeed? May I ask the reason?" "The reason hardly seems to be a sufficient one and, therefore, I will not jeopardize your good opinion of me by mentioning it." "O, very well! I am content to have my friends conceal from me their weaknesses."
The turkey never looked browner or juicier, and the blaze on the pudding-sauce never burned bluer; the kissing under the mistletoe was never more delightful, nor the blindman's-buff ever played with a greater zest: but the merriest Christmas must end.
I shall begin by letting my beard grow. Fifth Extract. Civita Vecchia, February 28, 1863. Back again on the coast of Italy after an absence, at sea and ashore, of nine months! What have my travels done for me? They have made me browner and thinner; they have given me a more patient mind, and a taste for mild tobacco. Have they helped me to forget Stella?
In the middle class and the people, the ugliness is more pleasant and sometimes becomes a kind of prettiness. The eyes are still too small and hardly able to open, but the faces are rounder, browner, more vivacious; and in the women there remains a certain vagueness in the features, something childlike which prevails to the very end of their lives.
And now two years and more are past and gone; and all whose lot it was have come Westward Ho once more, sadder and wiser men to their lives' end; save one or two, that is, from whom not even Solomon's pestle and mortar discipline would pound out the innate folly. Frank has come home stouter and browner, as well as heartier and wiser, than he went forth.
