There was an exclamation, a whisk of dark skirts, and the soubrette had disappeared down a side passage. Along the broad, lighted corridor was gliding a very stately and beautiful lady, tall, graceful, and exceedingly haughty. She was richly clad in a bodice of gold-coloured camlet and a skirt of gray silk trimmed with gold and silver lace.
"Monsieur Higgins est tout pour les dames." "To be sure he is," cried Mr. Love; "all the English are, especially with that coloured hair; a lady who likes a passionate adorer should always marry a man with gold-coloured hair always. What do you say, Mademoiselle Adele?" "Oh, I like fair hair," said Mademoiselle, looking bashfully askew at Monsieur Goupille's peruque.
And forth gan ride the Romanish people, until they came a mile near to Arthur. Then heard the Rome-folk hard tidings; they saw all the dales, and all the downs, and all the hills covered with helms; high standards, warriors them held, sixty thousand waving with the wind; shields glitter, burnies shine; gold-coloured vests, men most stern; steeds leap -the earth stirred!
He was a portly person, attired in a gold-coloured suit, and put on a smiling countenance when the pilgrims laid hold of him; but methought he looked about him on every side to see whether he could dodge away, and escape.

From the tiny deck I take my last look at the quaint vista of the Ohashigawa, with its long white bridge at the peaked host of queer dear old houses, crowding close to dip their feet in its glassy flood at the sails of the junks, gold-coloured by the early sun at the beautiful fantastic shapes of the ancient hills.
