He told himself it was all a whim, he did not really care for the girl one of a large family in embarrassed circumstances. No, it would be absurd to fall in love with a little coffee-coloured girl whose one shoulder was a fraction of an inch further out than the other. He was not compelled to marry either Corrie or Chrissy not he! Poeh! he was not yet half through with his bachelor days.
I framed it all up for this filibuster trip you're on, Scraggsy, only I never did hear that they'd picked on you. I told that coffee-coloured rat of a Lopez man to hunt up Scab Johnny and he'd set him right, but if anybody had told me you had the nerve to run the Maggie in on this deal, Scraggsy, I'd a-called him a liar. Scraggs, you're mucho-bueno that is, you're all right.

The glass lid was no sooner lifted, than each one of the trio dipped in a coffee-coloured paw and took out a handful of money.
She chose a familiar-looking eclair Clara and Emma ate cakes that seemed to be alternate slices of cream and very spongy coffee-coloured cake and then followed Emma's lead with an open tartlet on which plump green gooseberries stood in a thick brown syrup. During dinner Fraulein Pfaff went the round of the table with questions as to what had been consumed at Kreipe's.

Then from the baggage-van an invisible person tumbled, a canvas bale.

'Has Thornton any horses? asked Sponge. 'Not he, replied Leather, 'not he, nor the gen'lman next him nouther he, in the pilot coat, with the whip sticking out of the pocket, nor the one in the coffee-coloured 'at, nor none on 'em in fact'; adding, 'they all live on Squire Waffles breakfast with him dine with him drink with him smoke with him and if any on 'em 'appen to 'ave an 'orse, why they sell to him, and so ride for nothin' themselves.

"Well, then, I suppose I'm a coward, for hang me if we don't get running risks enough from these coffee-coloured fellows, without trying it on among ourselves."

Come along in, and I'll make this coffee-coloured old sport with the gold epaulettes open one for you right off the ice." "Thank you," said Armstrong; "not just now, I believe.
