A thousand blossoms, white, red, blue and yellow, swayed on their slender stalks, opened their calixes to the bees, unfolded their stars to deck the woodland carpet, or proudly stretched themselves up as straight as candles. Grey fungi had shot up after the refreshing rain, and gathered round the red-capped giants among the mushrooms.
On board the Eulalie everything was ready for the trip to Soroe, steam was getting up prior to departure, and a group of red-capped sailors stood prepared to weigh the anchor as soon as the signal was given.
Their skirts were examined, and there were found boxes of cigars, packets of tobacco, and bottles of gin, all hooked in methodical order to an ingenious arrangement connected with the skirt. These ladies were proved to be on familiar terms with the red-capped gentlemen who were defrauding the Revenue, and not infrequently shooting down its guardians.
Further on I came upon a group of red-capped coral fishers assembled round a portable stove whereon roasting chestnuts cracked their glossy sides and emitted savory odors. The men were singing gayly to the thrumming of an old guitar, and the song they sung was familiar to me. Stay! where had I heard it? let me listen! Ha! I remembered now.
As Miriam was approaching them a red-capped head came cleanly up out of the water near the steps and she recognised the strong jaw and gleaming teeth of Gertrude. She neither spluttered nor shook her head. Her eyes were wide and smiling, and her raucous laugh rang out above the applause of the group of girls. Miriam paused under the overhanging gallery.
You're to go on a voyage. No laggards, now. Up with you!" The door of Leroy's cell was thrown open in its turn, and he found himself confronting a group of drunken ruffians. One of these a red-capped giant with long, black mustaches and a bundle of ropes over one arm suddenly pounced upon him. The cocassier was an active, vigorous young man.

Jimmy Rabbit watched him for a short time, smiling and nodding his head, as if to say: "That's right! Just do as I say and all will be well." And then he waved a sort of farewell, before he disappeared.
A few seconds later or perhaps minutes, or perhaps hours she found herself seated perfectly conscious, mechanically drying the sea-water from her wet face; while beside her knelt a red-capped figure in wet bathing-dress, both hands brimming with sea-water which ran slowly between the delicate fingers and fell, sparkling. "Do you feel better?" asked Shiela gently.
When the train got in from New England, however, and Ruth and the Indian girl, following a red-capped porter with their bags, walked through the gateway of entrance to the concourse of the Grand Central Terminal, there were both Jennie and Helen waiting to spy them. "Mr. Hammond told me to come to the Borneaux. He has made reservations there," Ruth said.
