Later on he drifts into his native tongue, raises his voice a couple of octaves, and streaks the atmosphere with multi-coloured oaths, until you imagine you are listening to a vocal rainbow. But take away the sunshine, give him a wet hide and a wet floor to camp on, and he straightway becomes all penitence and prayer.
She postures shamelessly before the delighted tourists with woven skeins of homeward-flying pelicans, fringes of wild duck, black spotted on crimson, and cheap jewellery of opal clouds. 'Notice Me! She cries, like any other worthless woman. 'Admire the play of My mobile features the revelations of My multi-coloured soul! Observe My allurements and potentialities.
Incidents like these went to make up the multi-coloured mosaic of Sarah, Lady Tunnell-Penge's life. Her children were many Arthur, later on Lord Crumpingfax; Muriel, later the Duchess of Dripp; and various others. She died at the age of seventy-nine, thus outliving her Royal paramour. A beautiful life, a noble life, a gentle life yet was there something missing?

In the morning my new companions informed me that there was to be a sergeant-major's parade at eight o'clock, in shirt-sleeve order and I felt a little apprehensive because I now had no time to blanco my equipment; there was nothing for it but to go on parade multi-coloured. Since we were not wearing battledress blouses I had another little problem.
We flew once more over a countryside of multi-coloured crops and fantastic woods, and so to the aerodrome.
The best thing to do under the circumstances is to go and check the range-finders' figures, or prepare the headlines of a message or two. A Taube, like some huge insect with a buzz of whirring wings, flew overhead, dropping multi-coloured stars from its tail. Then our guns "opened the ball." There was something blatant and repulsive about that first burst of sound.
