His face was also of the rotund shape the features all tolerably regular, with the exception of the nose that, like the nasal organ of his comrade, was nez retrousse the turn-up being infinitely more pronounced. The expression was equally indicative of good-nature and good-fellowship as the apple-like bloom of his cheeks, and the ochreous tinge upon the tip of the nose, sufficiently testified.
That, advanced as the knowledge it implied might be, was closer to the heart of the possible. I bent, determined, despite the well-nigh unconquerable shrinking I felt, to touch the tablet's rods. A flickering shadow fell upon me; a flock of pulsating ochreous and scarlet shadows The Keeper glowed above us!
As it is, only by picking one's way between cities can one walk under, or as it were in, a pure sky. The horizon in Venice is thick and ochreous, and no one cares; the sky of Milan is defiled all round.
On the trunk of a living leguminous tree, Petzell found a number of a very rare and handsome species, the Platysternus hebraeus, which is of a broad shape, coloured ochreous, but spotted and striped with black, so as to resemble a domino. At length, on the 12th of February, I left Caripi, my Negro and Indian neighbours bidding me a warm "adios."

About the bases of the defenders flashed blinding bursts of incandescence like those which had heralded the flight of the Flying Thing dropping before Norhala's house. Unlike them they held no dazzling sapphire brilliancies; they were ochreous, suffused with raging vermilion.
Everything associated with the history of David was interesting to them. The building was low and narrow, projecting but a little from the rock to which it was joined at the rear, and wholly without a window. In its blank front there was a door, swung on enormous hinges, and thickly daubed with ochreous clay.
Volney indeed relates, that ores of the former metal abound, in the mountains of Kesraoun and of the Druses, in other words, in the extensive range of which Libanus is the principal member. Every summer the inhabitants work those mines which are simply ochreous.
Albine turned away her head, that she might not see the crudely painted pictures, in which the ochreous flesh of Christ had been plentifully bedaubed with carmine wounds. The purple robe round His shoulders seemed like a shred of His skin torn away. 'Why suffer? why die? she said. 'O Serge, if you would only remember!... You told me, that morning, that you were tired.
Rudler examined the specimens of quartz we brought home, and describes it as 'vein quartz, more or less ochreous with oxide of iron suggestive of auriferous quartz, and told us that, unless we were going to start a company, there was no necessity to get it assayed; for archæological purposes the presence of gold was sufficiently established.
