On leaving the room of this professional receiver of stolen goods, Pinky and her friend descended to the second story, and by a door which had been cut through into the adjoining property passed to the rear building of the house next door. They found themselves on a landing, or little square hall, with a stairway passing down to the lower story and another leading to the room above.
"Yes, but it was mean of you to fluster the poor thing." "Don't you know why I did it?" "To tease me, I suppose," and Patty drew down the corners of her mouth and looked like a much injured damsel. "Yes; but, incidentally, to see that pinky colour spread all over your cheeks. It makes you look like a wild rose." "Does it?" said Patty, lightly. "And what do I look like at other times? A tame rose?"
"Well, we rigs up a deal with Poui-Slam-Bang and next afternoon stand out for the entrance with forty odd head of labour in excess of what we had when we arrived. We'd cleared the reef, and was comin' about around Hakatuea Head, when what d'ye suppose we sight? Nothin' more or less than Miss Pinky Poui-Slam-Bang swimmin' right across our bows.
The sky was a deep, pure, cloudless blue overhead, merging, by a thousand subtle gradations, into a warm, pinky, primrose tint along the horizon; and away to the north, low down in the sky, there floated a few indefinite, softly-luminous cloud shapes that gave us some reason to hope that we might be favoured with a more robust breeze later on in the day, notwithstanding the oily-looking streaks and patches of calm that appeared here and there upon the ocean's surface.
To be friends with him well, that is all you ever need to keep from feeling buried alive! He isn't listening, is he?" "No," said Varney, "he is, I believe, telling the story of the seven fat men of Kilgore." "If you wish to hand bouquets to Pinky for a while," called Mrs. Marne, aside, "I will see that you are not disturbed, Mary."
Just like a pinky rose with blue eyes." "She broke her leg didn't she, in your all-comers' scrap?" "Yes; she can't move for six weeks." "Well, two weeks are gone now, that's something. Can't I see her? I'd like to sympathise." "Oh, yes, Bob, of course you must see her, but I don't want you to go over there till I can go with you." "Oh, I'm not going to wait for that.
When do you go again?" "Next week, on Thursday." "Not till next Thursday!" exclaimed Pinky, in a tone of disappointment. "The school's only once a week." Pinky chafed a good deal, but it was of no use; she must wait. "You'll be sure and go next Thursday?" she said. "If Mother lets me," replied the child. "Oh, I'll see to that; I'll make her let you. What time does the school go in?"
"Maybe not, and maybe I don't care to know. At present I want to settle about this baby. You'll find another place for it?" "Yes." "And then steal it from the woman who has it now?" "Yes; no trouble in the world. She's drunk every night," answered Pinky Swett, rising to go. "You'll see me to-morrow?" said Mrs. Bray. "Oh yes." "And you won't forget about the policies?"
In the great galleries of the Louvre at Paris he found abundant models which he could study in the works of the old masters; and there, poring over Michael Angelo and Mantegna, he could recompense himself a little in his spare hours for the time he was obliged to waste on pinky- white faces and taffeta gowns.
