For to them the vision had not been vouchsafed, while he had seen her as the highest symbol of God's splendor. Now she stood before him, her head turned half away, a faint flush still tingeing the chalk-white of her skin, watching him with a dim, half-pleading smile in expectation of his reply.
And just before lunch Ma came up, and she looked chalk-white, didn't she, Jinny?" "She looked-well, as white as this spread," agreed Virginia. "Well, but what accounts for it!" gasped Susan. "Is Georgie CRAZY! Joe O'Connor! That snip! And hasn't he an awful old mother, or someone, who said that she'd never let him come home again if he married?" "Listen, Sue! You haven't heard half.
This man's soul seemed silently screaming out in his glance, his posture, his chalk-white cheeks starred with scarlet spots, his long-fingered hands drooping down in the shadow of his ill-fitting coat, which fluttered in the breeze. Horace turned, looked, and stood still. The man also stood still. Mrs. Errington looked sharply round. "What is it, Horace?" she said.
Drummond," said a caressing voice with what seemed a totally disinterested drawl, "you're a liar!" For a few seconds there was not a sound as Hiram Hooker stood before Drummond and eyed him placidly. The truck man's face had gone chalk-white. They were big men, both of them, and for all that Drummond's life had not been a rugged one, he was physically pretty much a man.
It was one of a row of houses, nondescript but comfortable, in a pleasant street. It seemed familiar I had seen Molly's snapshots of it often.

I was trembling as with ague, I was chalk-white I knew was I not in another moment to see my wife!
Distant about three hundred yards upon the sandy plain are other men and horses, to the number of near two hundred. Their half-naked bodies of bronze colour, fantastically marked with devices in chalk-white, charcoal-black, and vermillion red their buckskin breech-clouts and leggings, with plumes sticking tuft-like above their crowns all these insignia show them to be Indians.
The wonder is how the doves succeed in such a place in hatching any couple of chalk-white eggs, placed on a small platform of sticks, or of rearing any pair of young, conspicuous in their blue skins and bright yellow down! The keepers tell me they get even with these kill-birds later in the year, when they take to roosting in the woods, a mile away in the valley.
He was looking beyond the cabin, to a chalk-white mass of rock that rose like a giant mushroom in the edge of the trees and he was listening to the ringing of the axe, and straining his ears to catch the sound of a voice.
For the thin membrane tore in a score of places to release a body from within a shapeless, huddled mass of chalk-white flesh in a wrapping of black leather that unfolded before his eyes and became wings which waved feebly in their first attempt at flight. The pallid body, supple as a giant worm, jerked spasmodically and turned sightless eyes toward the watching Earth-folk.
His eyes once more travelled over the group, face to face, eye to eye, until he paused suddenly and pointed at Borkins's chalk-white countenance. "That's the man who probably did the job," he said casually. "Brellier's right-hand man, that. With a brain that might have been used for other and better things." The judge leaned forward upon his folded elbows, pointing his pen in Borkins's direction.
