She was very graceful, and her light-colored eyes had a peculiar quick expression which made people turn to watch her again. The strange girl had scarcely any luggage only a small portmanteau covered with a neat case of brown holland, and a little trunk to match.
The phaeton was at the door when Langholm also arrived, and Rachel herself ran out to greet him on the steps tall and lissome, in a light-colored driving cloak down to her heels, and a charming hat yet under it a face still years older than the one he wore in his heart, though no less beautiful in its distress. "I hardly dare ask you!" she gasped, her hand trembling in his.
In autumn, at sunset, when the steam rose from the samovar on the table, the water of the aquarium, wan and glassy all during the morning, reddened like blazing gleams of embers and lapped restlessly against the light-colored wood.
But with her usual practical forethought, Lady Anningford had already taken time by the forelock, and asked that one of the motors, going in to Tilling Green on a message, should bring back all the bales of bright and light-colored merinos and nunscloths the one large general shop boasted of. And, amidst screams of delighted excitement from the girls, the immense parcel was presently unpacked.
This space was divided into two parts by a screen of pierced work; the innermost portion had a raised floor or podium, on which stood a table with chairs placed round it in a semicircle. The centre seat was higher and more richly decorated than the others. These chairs were unoccupied; a few deacons in 'talares' of light-colored brocade were busied about the table.
The terrace, open to the sky and covered with a dozen small round tables, made a pretty sight girls in light-colored gowns and flowery hats predominating early in the afternoon, but gradually, from mysterious regions of lockers and shower-baths below, joined by men in white flannels and tennis-shoes.

The internal panels of the walls were a fanciful mosaic of carving; every table and chair was a work of art, and exquisitely inlaid with light-colored woods to make a pleasant contrast with the dark walnut.
I am sure, however, of the ever-varying grandeur and beauty of the Alps all round us. Those of the Savoyard shore had a softer loveliness than the Swiss, as if the South had touched and mellowed them, as it had the light-colored trousers which in Geneva recalled the joyous pantaloons of Italy.
Perkins was going to Milliken's Mills, Rebecca might go too, and buy a serviceable hat. "You mustn't pay over two dollars and a half, and you mustn't get the pink bird without Mrs. Perkins says, and the milliner says, that it won't fade nor moult. Don't buy a light-colored felt because you'll get sick of it in two or three years same as you did the brown one.
A broad belt with knife and revolver was buckled to his waist. A silk handkerchief was loosely knotted at his throat. A light-colored felt hat was pulled down to his eyebrows, and dust-colored gantlets were drawn upon his hands. "Sancho," said he, "have that roan of yours saddled in ten minutes. How much if I keep him a week?"
