The bar of deep-red stone beneath, and the bar of pale-red clay above, were noted by the young quarryman, who even in such unpromising subjects found matter for observation and reflection. Where other men saw nothing, he detected analogies, differences, and peculiarities, which set him a-thinking.
The room, with its deep-red curtains and ruby-embossed paper, was almost dark, and he knew that he might remain there unseen and unnoticed for the next half-hour. If he could only get a glass of wine! He tried the cellaret, which was as often open as locked, but now unfortunately it was closed.
He found Cara, surrounded by a small army of vases, arranging flowers, of which a great sheaf, freshly sent in by the gardener from the hot-houses, lay on the table. "Aren't they lovely?" she said, when she and Robin had exchanged greetings. "Do you want a buttonhole?" He looked at the deep-red carnation which she held out to him and shook his head. "No, thank you," he said politely.
Such was the appearance of the Caravan to a man who was riding up towards it in an oblique direction. He was mounted on a fine Arabian courser, covered with a tiger-skin; silver bells were suspended from the deep-red stripe work, and on the head of the horse waved a plume of heron feathers.
Near her "the swamping team," a span of big deep-red oxen, came and went among the green tops of the fallen pines. They crawled along their trails in the snow like some strange machinery, and the boy in a blue jacket moved almost as listlessly.
"But it doesn't, after all, look well, when made into clothes," old lady Chia explained. Lady Feng hastily pulled out the lapel of the deep-red brocaded gauze jacket she had on, and, facing dowager lady Chia and Mrs. Hsueeh, "Look at this jacket of mine," she remarked. "This is also of first-rate quality!" old lady Chia and Mrs. Hsueeh rejoined.
These human figures were all naked, and painted of a deep-red colour. In the same picture I noticed two strange-looking nondescript animals, very rudely drawn, and party-coloured like the horse.
Half-way up the street is the post-office, whose white chief is not a whit more civil than the negro head in 1862. Upon this highly interesting spot we stood awhile to note the peculiarities of the place and its position. The soil is a loose clay, deep-red or brown, impregnated with iron and, where unclothed with humus, cold and infertile, as the spontaneous aloe shows.
For the girl who otherwise might have appeared nothing more than an extraordinarily beautiful young female of this earth, somewhat fantastically dressed the girl had wings! He rubbed his eyes and looked again. There was no doubt about it they were huge, deep-red feathered wings, reaching from her shoulder blades nearly to the ground.
In many other lakes, as, for example, the Lago di Tremorgio, they cannot do this, and hence perish, though the lakes have been repeatedly stocked. The trout in the Lago Ritom are said to be the finest in the world, and certainly I know none so fine myself. They grow to be as large as moderate-sized salmon, and have a deep-red flesh, very firm and full of flavour.
