Brown, waving high above his head a huge magenta cotton handkerchief, and that on his other arm was hanging Maryanne Brown, leaning quite as closely upon him as her sister did upon the support which was her own. For one moment George Robinson allowed himself to look down upon the scene, and he plainly saw that clutch of the hand upon the sleeve.
"Would you like some, Cousin Milly?" asked Eddie, opening his bag. "All sorts here. Bread, cheese, ginger snaps, biscuits, jam Oh! I say, the jam-pot's broken! Whatever shall we do?" He dipped his fingers into his wallet as he spoke, and brought them out magenta!
By French discipline and an organization that permits of it. Broken, covered country is adapted to our methods. The zouaves at Magenta could not have done so well on another kind of ground. Above all, with modern weapons, the terrain to be advanced over must be limited in depth. How much better modern tactics fit the impatient French character!
The decoration of the studio was even more appalling than might have been expected. There was a German stove in the corner made of pink porcelain, the rafters and roof were painted scarlet, the walls were of magenta distemper and the floor was blue. In the corner was a very large orange-coloured screen.
Her guardian, the excellent Baron Goldbirn, had bought it for her because it was offered for sale at a low price, and was an excellent investment as well as a treasure of art; and he had purposed to coat the brown stone walls with fresh stucco, to erect a "belvedere" with nice green blinds on the roof, to hang the rooms with rich magenta damask, to carpet them with Brussels carpets, to furnish them with gilt furniture, to warm the house with steam heat, and to light it with electricity.
Remarkable pyjamas, of a fierce magenta with forked lightning in orange running about all over them. "Good God, Fanny!" "You may well say 'Good God. What would you say if you'd got to...? I'm not a nervous woman, but " "It's a mercy he didn't get them eighteen years ago," said Barbara, "or Horry might have been born an idiot." "Yellow waistcoats are all very well," said Fanny.
What if we be gittin' on a little mite in years? We ain't underground yit, be we? I see a real good ninepenny paper once, all covered over with green brakes. I declare if 'twa'n't sweet pretty! Well, whether I paper or whether I don't, I've got some thoughts of a magenta sofy. I'm tired to death o' that old horsehair lounge that sets in my clock-room.
The inks in common use over the United States at the present time, and for some years past, are not as numerous as one might be led to conclude. They are probably fifteen or at most twenty in all, including the most popular blue, red, magenta, and green inks. But among these there is a notable difference in character.
When we say that the price which the property fetched exceeded the whole sum spent for external and internal decorations, including the Magenta paint and the plate-glass, we feel that the highest possible testimony is given to the taste and talent displayed by the firm. It was immediately after this that application was made to the creditors on behalf of Mr. Brown.
The gay headgear, worn turbanwise, with two ends standing upright above plaited folds, and magenta kabajas, with slandangs of apple green, amber or purple, make a blaze of colour against the forest background, or glow amidst the dusky shadows of palm-thatched sheds, where thirsty travellers imbibe pink and yellow syrups, the favourite beverages of the Malay race.
