The girl, who in the more informal phases had consistently defied the Court etiquette, sent an affirmative reply, and Karyl, still in uniform and dust-stained, came at once to the rooms where she was to receive him. There was much to talk of, and the King came forward eagerly, but the girl halted his protestations and rapidly sketched for him the summary of all she had learned that afternoon.
Keane's pleasant, well-modulated voice. "The Peak shows splendidly from this window." "The place aren't no great thing, sir," said Miss Hepsy. "Here's Josh." She opened the door, and Uncle Josh appeared on the threshold in his working garb, grimy and dust-stained, as he had come from repairing the mill. He pulled his hair to the minister, and bowed awkwardly to Mr. Keane.
"By Jove, you rode superbly, Virginia! I had no idea you could do it," said Oliver, as they trotted into Dinwiddie. She smiled back at him, and her smile was tired, dust-stained, enigmatical. "No, you did not know that I could do it," she answered. "You'll keep it up now, won't you?" he asked pleadingly. For an instant, looking away from him over the radiant fields, she pondered the question.
The herd came on down the valley, with dust-stained riders speeding back and forth along its flanks, turning back rebellious cows, urging the main body forward. Curly Bill spoke the word of command and the twenty-five bad men rode forth from their hiding-place. The sun gleamed on their rifle barrels as they spurred their ponies down the open slope.
In the Rue Maqua he was surprised to observe the crowds of soldiers that were streaming into the city, without arms and in torn, dust-stained uniforms.
I caught my breath as a dash of color struck my eyes and I recognized back of the gaunt standing frame of Marcus, the seated figures of Weighborne and the lady who had been so strangely important in my life. My cheeks flushed and bracing back my shoulders, I walked down the center aisle, dust-stained, with four days' growth of beard on my face, and one eye still discolored.
This gash, from where I sat, looked like one inflicted on an old-fashioned rubber football by a high kicker. Hank Halliday, in a deerskin waistcoat and dust-stained slouch hat, which he crumpled up in his hand and held under his chin, was the next witness.
One April evening he was sitting at a monte-game. The gambling-hall was filled with raw-boned packers from the hills, dust-stained teamsters from the valley towns, miners from the diggings, and a riffraff of adventurers from no one knew or cared where. It was a booted crowd with a goodly sprinkling of red shirts to give it color, and weapons in evidence on every side.
Fleur had not been to Green Street. Then where was she? Visions of his beloved daughter rolled up in her pretty frills, all blood and dust-stained, in some hideous catastrophe, began to haunt him. He went to her room and spied among her things. She had taken nothing no dressing-case, no Jewellery. And this, a relief in one sense, increased his fears of an accident.
I think I have it about me somewhere." He fumbled about in his pockets while the girls waited silently. Presently he drew forth a little slip of paper, muddy and worn and dust-stained from being carried about for a long, long time in a khaki pocket.
