"This 'ere's the young woman's grave, sir Ellen Jervis 'er as I was a tellin' you of," said Dodge, pointing an earth-stained finger at the mound. "Oh, yes; very nice," said the Professor vaguely. Hadria's laugh disconcerted him. "I mean pretty spot well chosen well made." Hadria continued to laugh. "I never heard less skilled comment on a grave!" she exclaimed. "It might be a pagoda!"
The man's hickory shirt, his warped boots, his blue jean trousers, his heavy buskins were mean and earth-stained, but inherent in the quality of his low, musical voice and courteous manner was an intangible suggestion of something different, some bigger and happier past, to which, go where he would and clothe himself as he might, voice and manner had remained true.
Once she had a passing fancy that her mother stood near her ... smiling. "Call now; is there any that will answer thee?" When she went back to the silent, echoing house, she felt calmer than at any time since she had read the telegram in Naples. She did not stop to wash her earth-stained hands, but went directly up the stairs to the locked door at the top. She did not knock this time.
Quickly removing it from its place of concealment, he deposited it in the inner pocket of his coat and ran from the barn in the direction of the spot where his companion was lying. John Curtin was provided with a stout adhesive envelope, and producing this, the earth-stained wallet was at once enclosed within it, and in the presence of the other the packet was sealed up securely.
When it had been washed and bandaged, its owner stretched himself on the ground, his head in the shade of a barrel, and went to sleep. He slept till sundown, through all the traffic of a busy afternoon. Some half-a-hundred customers came and went. The greater number of them were earth-stained diggers, who ran up for, it might be, a missing tool, or a hide bucket, or a coil of rope.
She had come near to Catherine's spirit in the growing. Beside that sweet expansion, how poor and feverish and earth-stained the poor child felt herself! But there were many currents in Rose many things striving for the mastery. She kissed Catherine once or twice, then she drew herself back suddenly, looking into the other's face. A great wave of feeling rushed up and broke.
Today, goldenrod and asters bloomed against the mouldy walls and one little tri-colored bouquet. Flowers of France, in truth, sprung on the battle field and offered by earth-stained fingers to her who had served. From the kitchen came noises of snapping wood, and a sizzling which tempted me to the door.
And into this incongruous setting costly, overloaded, composite, and destitute of true religious feeling, a very type of the time in Venice Marina brought the redeeming note of consecration, a priceless altar ancient, earth-stained, and rude, almost grotesque in symbolism as a great prize and by special dispensation, from an underground chapel in Rome.
Knowing no French, his conversation was strictly limited, and he had to make amends for this by talking with his hand by gently stroking her palm with his earth-stained thumb. Mademoiselle Thérèse smiled shyly at him and her hand remained on the counter. Private John North, thus encouraged, grew still bolder.
Malay children, themselves unadorned, stand on wayside platforms, every brown hand filled with the rosy chalices of the sacred Buddhist emblem. Tradition says that the blossom, drawn up from the mire by the rays of the morning sun, symbolised the earth-stained soul, made pure and stainless by the attraction of that Divine Glory which Buddhism, though in distorted form, strove to attain.
