He bent down until his lips were close to the death-filled face of his victim. "The truth, Lang, or I'll kill you!" he whispered hoarsely. And then he asked the question and as he asked Josephine freed her hands. She tore the cloth from her mouth, but before she could rush forward, through Lang's mottling lips had come the choking words: "It was Miriam's."
Still more tasteful are some of the examples which occur upon the bas-reliefs, and seemingly represent earthen vases. The green predominates in the upper, the yellow in the under portion; but there is a certain amount of blending or mottling in the mid-region, which has a very pleasant effect.
the banks were literally blue with violets; the elms were putting out their tender leaves, just in that passing aspect which Raphael loved to pencil in the backgrounds of his holy pictures, not as yet printing deep shadows, but only mottling the sunshine at their feet. The birds were in full song; the pines were musical with the soft winds they sweetened.
It is very beautiful to see like the mottling in the mouth of a lily." "It needs water. A new skin never comes to full colour before the first bath. Let us go bathe."

The induration upon the buttocks had been noticed immediately after birth, and the region was at first of a deep pink color.
He had talked rapidly, almost like a drunken man, as his reeling brain battled with the rising shock of the malarial stroke. When he stumbled toward the companionway, his face was purpling and mottling as if attacked by some monstrous inflammation or decay. His eyes were setting in a glassy bulge, his hands shaking, his teeth clicking in the spasms of chill.
There was something large and generous and untrammelled in the scene, recalling one of Walt Whitman's rhapsodies: "Earth of departed sunsets! Earth of the mountains misty-topped! Earth of the vitreous pour of the full moon just tinged with blue! Earth of shine and dark, mottling the tide of the river!" All the next day we went down with the current.
