"Well, uncle, it was because they spoke about you," said the lad, at last, desperately. "Eh? Ah! Humph!" said the old man, with his florid face growing clay-coloured. "They spoke ill of me, then?" "Yes, uncle." "About my past past life, eh?" "Yes, uncle." "Humph! What did they say?" "Uncle, pray don't ask me," pleaded Aleck. "Humph! I know.

Here I first saw this strange beautiful fowl, and here to my delight I found its nest in three consecutive summers, with three or four clay-coloured eggs spotted with chestnut-red. Here, too, was the breeding-place of the beautiful black-and-white stilt, and of other species too many to mention.
What was his surprise when he saw that the stone had now completely assumed the form of a man, though of a monstrous and gigantic one! He could clearly perceive that the little blue lights were borne by dwarfs, whose pale clay-coloured faces, with their huge noses and red eyes, disfigured, too, by birds' bills and owls' eyes, were supported by misshapen bodies.
As I passed a hail of shrapnel was suddenly flung upon the wall on one side of the street and the bullets played at marbles in the roadway. In this street some soldiers were grouped about two wounded men, one of them only lightly touched, the other a French marine at the point of death, lying very still in a huddled way with a clay-coloured face smeared with blood.
Langley goes to the other side of the aisle, said Nutter, nodding to Irons, who came up, and laid his long clay-coloured fingers on the top of the pew door, and one long, thin foot on the first step, and with half-closed eyes, and a half bow, he awaited their pleasure.

If he be gorged with food, it makes him irritable, cross, and stupid; at one time, clogging up his bowels, and producing constipation; at another, disordering his liver, and causing either clay-coloured stools denoting a deficiency of bile, or dark and offensive motions telling of vitiated bile; while, in a third case, cramming him with food might bring on convulsions.
Now it was guns against guns, and let the best gunners win! We had eighteen field-guns and the naval pieces against the concealed cannon of the enemy. Back and forward flew the shells, howling past each other in mid-air. The weary men of the 62nd Battery forgot their labours and fatigues as they stooped and strained at their clay-coloured 15-pounders.
While the wounded captain lay on the bed, with his clothes on, and the coverlet over him, and that clay-coloured apathetic face, with closed eyes, upon the pillow, without sigh or motion, not a whispered word escaped him; but his brain was appalled, and his heart died within him in the unspeakable horror of death.
