On they came, crimson-faced, mouths open, British and Americans in a pellmell rush like a rally of boys at football. Even as they did so, Fetuao leaped bolt upright on the wall, and swinging her carbine round her head, opposed her slender body to the whole attack.
"He didn't want to, I guess. He thought it was too good a joke." "Joke!" scoffed Cyril. "But, see here, Billy, he isn't going to live here now?" Bertram's voice was almost savage. "Oh, no, he isn't going to live here now," interposed smooth tones from the doorway. "Mr. Arkwright!" breathed Billy, confusedly. Three crimson-faced men sprang to their feet.
I cried out, "My God, Paulette, why did you come?" I may have sounded angry. I was, as a man always is angry when he has dragged a woman into his danger. Paulette panted without looking at me. "I had to! The tunnel caved in!" "I told you to get out of it!" I sat up where I had flung myself down and stared at her. She sat up, too, both of us crimson-faced and dishevelled.
The yeoman himself, John Merton, a dried-looking, lean man, stood cap in hand to meet the gentlemen; and his wife, crimson-faced from the fire, peeped and smiled from the open door of the living-room that gave immediately upon the yard. For these gentlemen were from three of the principal estates here about.
Wheatfield's population was reputedly nine hundred, and certainly almost that number of onlookers had gathered to watch the game. The free seats were packed with perspiring women in limp summer gowns, and restless, crimson-faced children; and a shouting, vociferous line of men fringed the field. But in the "grand stand," where chairs rented for twenty-five cents, there was still some room.
I remarked, on taking a turn through the chapel and examining it minutely, that the pictures were all in the old Byzantine style crimson-faced saints looking up to golden skies.
They will listen better if they don't see you," said Pixie, and walked undauntedly on to the field of battle. In this instance it was represented by a remarkably handsome and well-filled nursery, and the belligerents took the form of two little girls of four and five, who were seated on the floor, dry-eyed, but crimson-faced from the effort to sustain their shrieks.
A mad girl leaped from the top of a tremendous precipice in Pownall, hundreds of feet high, if the tale be true, and, being buoyed up by her clothes, came safely to the bottom. Inquiries about the coming of the caravan, and whether the elephant had got to town, and reports that he had. A smart, plump, crimson-faced gentleman, with a travelling-portmanteau of peculiar neatness and convenience.
On all sides squatted the ghouls of privation, misery, danger, even grim death; but they heeded not the Inferno; they had created a Paradise in an earthly hell. Then Iris withdrew herself from the man's embrace. She was delightfully shy and timid now. "So you really do love me?" she whispered, crimson-faced, with shining eyes and parted lips. He drew her to him again and kissed her tenderly.
Human beings were seated there, whose matted hair clung round their tired faces. Their gaunt limbs were clothed in rags; each had a stick, and some sort of dirty bundle tied to it. They were asleep. On a bench beyond, two toothless old women sat, moving their eyes from side to side, and a crimson-faced woman was snoring.
