Cyril, with a coarse, high-coloured skin and the primitive features I have described; Ambrose, with a pale dark skin of a silky texture, an oval face and classic features forehead, nose, mouth and chin, and his ears small and lying against his head, not sticking out like handles as in his brother; he had black hair and grey eyes.
His last confusion of ideas was a wondering if Bernal Linford was as good a name as Ben Holt, and why he could not remember having chosen it in preference to a goldpiece. Back of this, in his fading consciousness was the high-coloured image of a candy cane, too splendid for earth. Then, far in the night, as it might have seemed to the little boy, came the step of slippered feet.
Sergeant Basket looks over the old man's shoulder; and there, halfway up the stairs, stood Madam Noy in her night rail a high-coloured ripe girl, languishing for love, her red lips parted and neck all lily-white against a loosened pile of dark-brown hair. "Be cussed if I turn back!" said the sergeant to himself; and added out loud "Forty souldjers, in the King's name!"

The former will produce the high-coloured, the latter the pale sherry. Further, I consider that the merchants of Madeira are bound to send me a letter of thanks, with a pipe of Bual, to prove its sincerity.

He looked frail enough beside these fresh young English sportsmen, or even the high-coloured planters, burnt without and within. It was a terrible question for any woman to be forced to ask, particularly were she honest enough to confess that no woman should ask it.
I have forgotten the details; no doubt they were high-coloured. No doubt I rejoiced to fool these jolter-heads; and no doubt the sense of security that I drank from their dull, gasping faces encouraged me to proceed extremely far. And for my sins, there was one silent little man at table who took my story at the true value. It was from no sense of humour, to which he was quite dead.

Marion liked hurting the girl because she had hurt Roger.
'She has a remarkably fine countenance, said Mrs. Bouverie. 'Do you admire her? said Mrs. Hazleby; 'well, I never could see anything so remarkably handsome in Lizzie Woodbourne.
