"It is like being slapped in the face with a sheet wet with ice water, isn't it?" "Ha! ha! so you haven't always lived here? I thought as much. Indeed I have a note to that effect here." The girl tapped the red-covered book. "No; I've travelled some," Jock confessed, "I've been to Hillcrest several times." "I believe you are masquerading." Constance viewed him keenly.
He opened the parcel with trembling fingers and took out the six red-covered volumes and spread them on the table. He turned the pages, reading a sentence here and a sentence there until Eleanor, who had been out when the parcel arrived, came in. "Look!" he said, holding one of the books towards her. She exclaimed with delight and ran forward to take the book from him.
She produced from a pocket three of the red-covered volumes so familiar to Americans in Britain and to Britons themselves, for that matter, when the belated discovery is made that it is not necessary to cross the Channel in order to enjoy a holiday and showed them laughingly to Medenham. "Now," she cried, "I am armed against you. No longer will you be able to paralyze me with your learning.
The whole room, including the floor, was decorated in red. There were banners with "Long Live the Third International" inscribed upon them in many languages. The Presidium was on the raised dais at the end of the room, Lenin sitting in the middle behind a long red-covered table with Albrecht, a young German Spartacist, on the right and Platten, the Swiss, on the left.
But so soon as this strangeness had been realised it passed, and my dominant motive became the hunger of my long and dismal fast. In the direction away from the pit I saw, beyond a red-covered wall, a patch of garden ground unburied. This gave me a hint, and I went knee-deep, and sometimes neck-deep, in the red weed. The density of the weed gave me a reassuring sense of hiding.
The mother at first answered decidedly that there was nothing; but after thinking a few moments said, "Well, there was one, a very small thing, but that couldn't have had any thing to do with the matter. One day a peddler came along; and among his books was a pretty, red-covered poetry book, and I wanted it bad. But my husband said he couldn't afford it, and the peddler went off.
Her papa was dead, so she dug a hole and buried him, and went right back home. And of course that was all, and if I had that snake, I wouldn't try to scare you with it, father, anyhow." So Colonel Musgrave gave his son a well-earned coin, as the colonel considered, and it having been decreed, "Now, father, you tell a story," obediently read aloud from a fat red-covered book.
"Ah yes; the one I mean will surely help you, if you give it a chance." Mr. Holbrook took from his pocket a small, red-covered book, and held it up. "Do you know what book this is?" he asked. "It's a Bible, ain't it?" "Yes. Have you ever read in the Bible?" "Some, at school."
Sarudine took the slender red-covered pamphlet, and, turning over a few pages, said, "Is it interesting?" "You'll see for yourself," replied Von Deitz with enthusiasm. "There's a brain for you, my word! It's just as if one had known it all one's self!"
If you suffer me to do so, I will ask Darcy Faircloth to bring his mother here to me, this evening at dusk, when her coming will not challenge impertinent observation so that I may be satisfied no bitterness colours her thought of me and that we part in peace, she and I." Damaris got up from her seat on the arm of the red-covered chair.
