A stern expression came into his gentle blue eyes and he got as near to frowning as it was possible for him to get. "Where did you get that thing?" he asked. THING! We began to breathe easier. "We bought it from Jerry Cowan. He found it in a red-covered history of the world. It SAYS it's God's picture," said Felix. "It is nothing of the sort," said Mr. Marwood indignantly.
She glories to turn round on your pathological and biological high science; and, while you're measuring a man for his coffin, to help him give death the slip." Charles Verity slightly shifted his position and that with singular carefulness against the pillows in the deep red-covered chair. His hands, inert and bluish about the finger-tips, lay along the padded arms of it.
At its end, as we see in the pictures of Van Eyck and Memling, opened out the conjugal chamber, reflecting its vast, red-covered bed, raised several steps, its crucifix and praying-stool, and its latticed window in a circular mirror framed in cut facets, which hung opposite on the wall of the closet.
In a wife sewing by lamp-light between a red-covered round table and the fire, a flaxen haired cherub by her side for so did his ingenuous inexperience picture domestic happiness he required the dominating characteristic of angelic placidity. Perhaps his foster-mother and the comfort Ben Flint found in her mild and phlegmatic devotion had something to do with it.
"What is that you are reading?" asked Esther, eyeing the red-covered book with a sort of feeling that it was familiar to her. "Oh, it's only The Invasion of the Crimea," said Penelope, withdrawing her eyes almost reluctantly from the page. "I didn't know you were going on with it," said Esther, a touch of resentment in her voice.
Edith had opened one of those small red-covered volumes of Chopin where the rich, wondrous melodies lie peacefully folded up like strange exotic flowers in an herbarium. She began to play the fantasia impromtu, which ought to be dashed off at a single "heat," whose passionate impulse hurries it on breathlessly toward its abrupt finale.
Then, at the end of these strenuous years, I came at last to my meeting with Ki-Ming in the room with the golden door. At this point my visionary adventures took a new turn. I sat again upon the red-covered couch and listened, half stupefied, to the placid speech of the mandarin.
"Jerry Cowan told me at recess this afternoon that he HAD SEEN A PICTURE OF GOD that he has it at home in an old, red-covered history of the world, and has looked at it OFTEN." To think that Jerry Cowan should have seen such a picture often! We were as deeply impressed as Felix had meant us to be. "Did he say what it was like?" asked Peter.
Miss Vickers made a note in a little red-covered memorandum-book. "Who got in the boat first?" she demanded. Mr. Stobell's lips twisted in a faint grin. "Chalk did," he said, with relish. Miss Vickers, nodding at the witness to call his attention to the fact, made another note. "How far was the boat off when the ship sank?" "Here, look here " began the indignant Stobell.
"You'll find little books on the table here, those of you who haven't got 'em," he said, pointing to a little pile of red-covered booklets at his side. "We'll sing the 272nd. "`Sing them over again to me, Wonderful words of life!" Really, reader, it is not easy to convey in words the effect of the singing of that congregation! Nothing that we on land are accustomed to can compare with it.
