His drawn face softened. 'That's why I forgive you, she said, with sudden frankness, and a blush reddened her cheeks under the fawn-coloured veil she had drawn down again. He took her hand, against her will and almost violently, but in an instant his own was gentle again. 'Margaret! His voice had a thrill in it.

She was clad in some soft fawn-coloured garment, cut very much in the fashion; her hair was closely rolled and twisted about her lightly-balanced head; everything about her was neat and fresh and tight-fitting. A year ago she had been a damsel from the 'Earthly Paradise'; now, so far as an English girl can achieve it, she might have been a model for Tissot.

The wool is shorter and more curly than that of the three other species, and, from its extreme fineness, is of much greater value. During the dry season, when the grass of the plains has withered, they descend to the swampy ground below.
The dogs echoed and emphasized all the healing power of their small and elderly master. As they lay sleeping, a tangle of large limbs and supine strength, the fire shone over them till their fawn-coloured coats gleamed almost like satin touched with gold.
She quite admits to herself the beauty of the bride, and her own comparatively feeble and faded attractions; but the stately image of Mr Dombey in his lilac waistcoat, and his fawn-coloured pantaloons, is present to her mind, and Miss Tox weeps afresh, behind her veil, on her way home to Princess's Place.
Where he had once seen a herd of wild cattle he now saw mounted men, to the number of about a dozen, slowly riding towards the hill, and though they were miles away he could see them very distinctly.
