I guess you're Mr. Garman." "You're right." The seated man was nibbling a piece of venison on a broiling stick and did not look up. "I'm Garman." He finished the venison, wiped his drooping, fawn-colored mustache with a silk handkerchief, displaying as he did so the two large diamonds upon his fingers; and through his heavy, yellow eyebrows he looked up lazily.
Colonel Musgrave was intent upon the portrait.... So! she had chosen at last between himself and this young fellow, a workman born of workmen, who went about the world building bridges and canals and tunnels and such, in those far countries which were to Colonel Musgrave just so many gray or pink or fawn-colored splotches on the map. It seemed to Colonel Musgrave almost an allegory.
Her chassis was admirable; she was upholstered in a sports suit of fawn-colored whipcord; and her sherry-brown eyes were unmodified by any dimming devices. Before Bleak could say anything she cried eagerly, "Get in, Mr. Bleak! I've been looking for you everywhere. What a happy moment this is!" Bleak handed in the basket. "Quimbleton " he began. "I know," she said. "I'm taking you to him.
He pressed closer to the pane for a better view, and a few seconds later a girl, whom he recognized as the nymph of last night, came out of the forest, followed by a fawn-colored collie. She walked smoothly and swiftly, carrying a large basket with her right hand, while with her left she motioned him away from the window.
Aldegonde to Lothair, "only in England one is so glad to get away from the women, but here I must say I should have liked to remain behind." An individual in a Syrian dress, fawn-colored robes girdled with a rich shawl, and a white turban, entered.
"Dare I flatter myself, that my queen deigns to meet me half way?" He took her outstretched hand, and kissed it softly, while his glance noted every detail of her handsome fawn-colored dress, with its jabot of creamy lace, and the cluster of crimson carnations in her belt.
Somebody had helped her choose effectively, and things very cunningly adaptive to herself. The last selection for the first part of her reading to-night was Mrs. Browning's "Court Lady." "Wear your fawn-colored silk when you read this," Virginia Levering had counseled. Her self-consciousness made the first lines telling.
While our American women wear coaching dresses of bright orange silks and white satins, pink trimmed with lace, and so on, the English woman wears a plain colored dress, with a black mantilla or wrap, and carries a dark parasol. No brighter dress than a fawn-colored foulard appears on a coach in the great London parade of the Four- in-Hands.
Selwyn was a woman of considerable education, as she had seen better days in her youth, and now she taught Robert all that she knew, beside sending him to the parish school as often as she could spare him. The widow owned a very pretty fawn-colored donkey, good tempered and well trained, which she used to hire out to invalids, and so added something to her little income.
If you follow it southward you come to the region of vast holdings, acres of trees in parallel lines as straight as if laid with a tape measure, great, fawn-colored fields, avenues of palm and oleander leading to white houses where the balconies have striped awnings and people sit in cushioned wicker chairs.
