It was while Jean sat on a high stool beside her father, the sunshine shining on her through the wide window, that Derry Drake, coming down Twelfth, saw her! Well, he wanted a lemonade. And the fact that she was there in a gray squirrel coat and bunch of violets with her copper-colored hair shining over her ears wasn't going to leave him thirsty! He went in.
Every Indian was in war paint and feathers, some stripped to the waist, their copper-colored skins brilliant with paints, dyes and "patterns"; all carried tomahawks, scalping-knives, and bows and arrows.
"What a lucky girl you are," one of them, a tall girl with copper-colored hair named Madge Cannan, exclaimed, "I've wanted a twin all my life and I never found one." "Poor Madge, I'll be your twin," some one offered. "Can't do it," Phyllis laughed. "There's only one twin in the world and I've got her." "I'm sorry," Janet looked at the older girl and spoke quite seriously.
"You will let the young Alexandrians, with whom you revelled through the night, introduce you to new fair ones I know it." "There are in fact women here of incredible charm," replied Verus quite coolly. White, brown, copper-colored, black and all delightful in their way. I could never be tired of admiring them." "And your wife?" asked Lucilla, facing him, sternly. "My wife? yes, my fairest.
Some one was ascending the stairs. Some one who walked with a light step some one slim and youthful, in a white gown ! "Edith ?" But Edith's hair had not been crinkled and copper-colored, and Edith would have come straight up to him; she would not have hesitated on the top step as if afraid to advance. "Who are you?" "Jean " "Jean?" "Derry's wife." "Come here."
But a grave, well-dressed man, with copper-colored face, high cheek-bones and straight, coal-black hair, who sat close to the front, turned to a companion and said: "Those men are good trainers, but they don't know everything about pumas. We know that there is a hereditary feud between the pumas and the bears, and that when they come together there's apt to be trouble."
A hideous face, copper-colored, distorted by a loving grin, was close to mine; a pair of arms were about my neck a pair of woman's arms! They were those of a ferocious and ugly squaw, old enough to be my mother. The warrior with the fire-brand was replacing it, with a disappointed expression, under the stewed dog. I was saved! All in a flash I comprehended the truth.
That she was a child of remarkable intelligence, and that she early showed a tender regard for the whites and rendered them willing and unwilling service, is the concurrent evidence of all contemporary testimony. That as a child she was well-favored, sprightly, and prepossessing above all her copper-colored companions, we can believe, and that as a woman her manners were attractive.
The poet Leroy des Saules had the haughty attitude and the Apollo face corresponding to the noble and perfect beauty of his verses; but Edouard Durocher, the fashionable painter of the nineteenth century, was a large, common- looking man with a huge moustache, like that of a book agent; and Theophile de Sonis, the elegant story-writer, the worldly romancer, had a copper-colored nose, and his harsh beard was like that of a chief in a custom-house.
"Crown him! crown him!" cried Vauvinet. "Three groans for such a good dog! Hurrah for Brazil!" cried Lousteau. "So, my copper-colored Baron, it is our Valerie that you love; and you are not disgusted?" said Leon de Lora. "His remark is not parliamentary, but it is grand!" observed Massol.
