From the roof of the building at the center of the village a pencil of brilliant-green light pointed straight up into the sky, and around that spear of radiance the roof sprouted tongues of more natural red-and-yellow flames. "Now!" In spite of the rising clamor, Ashe's voice carried to his two companions.
He took great pains to teach it to his baby sister; and he succeeded so well, that, whenever the red-and-yellow basket was shown to her, she said, "Mik-a-nee," the W being beyond her infant capabilities. Something of tenderness mixed with Mrs. Wharton's recollections of the grotesque little stranger.
Elsie's present was a pen-wiper, with a gray flannel kitten on it. Johnnie's, a doll's tea-tray of scarlet tin. "Isn't it beau-ti-ful?" she said, admiringly. Dorry's gift, I regret to say, was a huge red-and-yellow spider, which whirred wildly when waved at the end of its string. "They didn't want me to buy it," said he, "but I did! I thought it would amoose you. Does it amoose you, Katy?"
Then she turned a little, looked at Artois's shadowy profile, and said: "Don't ever be afraid to speak to me quite frankly don't be afraid now. What is it?" He did not answer. "Imagine you are in Paris sitting down to write to me in your little red-and-yellow room, the morocco slipper of a room." "And if it were the Sicilian grandmother?"

In a word, Miss Hugonin was a very quaint and colourful and delectable figure as she came a little further into the room.
At length, however, when the yacht had arrived within about two miles of Piedras Point, a small pirogue under sail suddenly shot out from behind the point, heading to the southward close-hauled; she carried a sprit-mainsail and a jib, and at the top end of the sprit there fluttered a diminutive replica of the red-and-yellow flag which was flying from the fore truck of the yacht.
This attack penetrated to the middle of the Reservation before it was stopped and the attackers either killed or driven out; for the first time since daybreak, the red-and-yellow lights came on around the power-plant.
"Yuh don't need t' mind Le Febre; he's drunk." But Rowdy opened the door decisively, and Miss Conroy, her cheeks like two storm-buffeted poppies, followed him out with dignity albeit trailing a yard of red-and-yellow Navajo blanket behind her.
