She looked tenderly at Elma Elma with her face half buried in the pillows, and the tell-tale flush still crimsoning her cheek in a single round spot; then she turned for a second to the clothes, too neatly folded on the chair by the bedside, as she murmured low "You're not well this morning, my child. You'd better not get up. I'll bring you a cup of tea and some toast myself.
Potts was aghast in behalf of William Shakspere, and Marcella Eubanks was crimsoning at the blunt query about Byron, well knowing that he could be taken up by a lady only with the wariest caution, and that he would much better be let alone. The others were torn demoralizingly between these two extremes of distress. But the situation was saved by the ready wit of Mrs. Judge Robinson.
And then I saw the driver, whose figure stood out dark against the moonlit moorland on our right, point with his arm to the fast crimsoning sky, and Mr. Rowe left the rudder and came forward, and Fred, who had had his head low down listening, ran towards us from the bows and cried, "There are sixteen, and they're ringing backwards it's a fire!"
Not a word was spoken until after Viola had fanned a tiny flame out of the embers and lighted the shavings with a spill. "I met my brother out there in the grove," said she, rising and brushing the wood dust from her hands. "Yes?" "I thought maybe you and he had been discussing Barry Lapelle and me and what happened last night, so I started to give him a piece of my mind," said Viola, crimsoning.

What will become of her?" he groaned. "I am shot! It was Gillam! It was Gillam!" Hortense and the negress came running from the inner cave.
She rushed to the house, and bursting open the door, stood with flushed face and sparkling eyes in the presence of her astonished aunt. "What in the world is the matter?" exclaimed that lady.

She tells me she thinks you would. It is very kind of Miss Row, and a great opportunity for you." "I'd love to, I told her so." Penelope stopped abruptly, her face crimsoning. "Oh, I hope she did not think I was asking!" "No, dear, she certainly did not think that," said Miss Charlotte reassuringly. "I know my friend well enough to know that she would never have made the offer if she had."
Morton took the billet, and crimsoning up to the ears, between joy and surprise, read these words: "If you can serve these poor helpless people, you will oblige E. B." It was a few instants before he could attain composure enough to ask, "And what is your object, Cuddie? and how can I be of use to you?"
I hope you are engaged to him, dear; for that will silence everybody. 'No, I am not engaged to him he is nothing to me, answered Ida, crimsoning; 'I never saw him, except in Fraeulein's company. Neither you nor my father would like me to marry a man without sixpence. 'But in Miss Pew's letter she said you declared you were engaged to Mr.
