He had piercing blue eyes, a straight nose with wide nostrils, and a square jaw, about which were lines that spoke of decision and the habit of command. His face was bronzed by exposure to the weather, and his brown hair was graying at the temples. There was something open and sincere about the man that caused Drew to like him at once.
"I hope you feel properly flattered. Graduates' attentions are at a premium this week. They ought to be, too, when one stops to think that it takes four years to reach that dizzy height of popularity. Four long years of slavish toil, my children. Observe my careworn air, my rapidly graying locks, my deeply-lined countenance." "Yes, observe them," grinned Elfreda.
His mother's name is Petra, and judging from her appearance she cannot be much over forty; like her son, she is ruddy and big-muscled, with a fair complexion and thick, graying hair, a veritable lion's mane. Her eyes are good companions to her hair dark, and a little worn now, but still good enough to see far and sharply across the fjord.
It is also affecting its local color, the yellow of the afternoon sunlight illumining and graying the silver-blue of the shadows, thus weakening the force of positive shadows scattered through the composition.
Two heavyset men wearing shorts, T-shirts, and baseball caps were easing a boulder from the truck bed onto an impromptu ramp of two-by-sixes. A woman with trim graying hair and tanned cheeks watched. The planks sagged ominously. "She hold?" "Plenty strong." "Damn stuck. Excuse me, Mrs. Nakano." "I've heard worse," she said. Oliver approached and braced one shoulder against the rock.

"Is his name Jacky?"

This increased his apprehension. "I must get away from here," he thought, "or I shall be discovered and taken." He moved out of the shadow, walking rapidly toward the graying east.
Stouter, softer, apparently even taller, she was full of small new authorities that could shut out cranks, newspaper reporters, and autograph fiends. A fitted-over-corsets black taffeta and a high comb in the graying hair had done their best with her. Pride, too, had left its flush upon her cheeks, like two round spots of fever.

Garish now, and doubly terrible, since seen with more than double clearness by the graying dawn, the world-ruin seemed to him. Strong of body and of nerve as he was, he could not help but shudder at the numberless traces of sudden and pitiless death which met his gaze.
"It cost me twenty, though that was years ago. Yet it is well worth the value of the cap." "But wouldn't the cap be frivolous, too?" Saxon queried, though herself well pleased with the bargain.
