The fresh-colored farmer's daughter who had found life extremely monotonous without the vivacious presence of her mistress, heard the news with elation and showed no surprise over the concluding request. "I've heard how they feed folks in them city places.
One noticed for the first time the possibility of considerable petulance back of the shining self-control. "How sick of it I grew all of us living over there! I'd like to sleep for a thousand years in a field filled with daffodils." "They've plenty scattered about this room," observed Pollen. "Why don't you start now?" The fresh-colored man servant announced dinner. "Shall we go down?" said Mrs.
The family consisted of an old woman, as dried and colorless as a Russian codfish from Arkhangel, but very clean and active; her son, a big, fresh-colored fellow, with a mop of dark brown curls, well set off by his scarlet cotton blouse; his wife, a slender, red-cheeked brunette, with delicate, pretty features; and their baby girl.
By the side of the culprit sat the one really tragic figure in all the court the culprit's wife. She also was in black. In happier times she must have been a fair, fresh-colored blonde. Now all the color was gone from her cheek. She was as pale as death, and in her sweet downcast eyes there were the tell-tale vigils of long nights of weeping.
On one side slept the dark Theosophist who was to lend me 'The Star of the East' next morning. Under him slept the Norwegian recruit bound for Potchefstroom. Under him again a fresh-colored, wizened little Colonist. I was bedded over him. Above me on the sixth sleeping ledge was only a certain amount of luggage.

It was a bad boil, it hurt me.... Your father was a fine man What are you doing in St. Louis?" he concluded abruptly, looking out of his shrewd blue eyes at the fresh-colored young man whose strong hands gripped squarely the arms of his chair. And from that day Lane knew that the Colonel never lost sight of him.
Back of her the courtiers stared and rubbed their eyes. The three slim boys on the lawn were smiling. Prince Hugh tossed the scarlet ball to her and she caught it lightly as if she were making a curtsey. "Take the ball back to him," said the King, "and tell him I sent you." As she went down through the parterres of flowers she was as straight as a delphinium and fresh-colored as a rose.

Many a fine whiskered Prussian or French dandy, come to the bath for the "Trente et quarante" cast glances of longing toward the pretty, fresh-colored English girl who accompanied the pale widow, and would have longed to take a turn with her at the galop or the waltz.
