As I drew near the scene of the excitement, the doves flew, and then the golden-wings; but the red-head held his ground, though he stopped his cries when he saw help coming. In vain I looked about for the cause of the row; everything was serene. It was a beautiful quiet evening, and not a child, nor a dog, nor anything in sight to make trouble.
The surface of the lake I have never seen free from ducks of one species or another, and generally of half a dozen. Almost the whole family, if we except the canvas-back and the red-head, visit it at one or another period. One item in their bill of fare is the nut of the water-lily, the receptacles of which, resembling the rose of a watering-pot, dot the shallows in great quantity.
Him they finally called Aupadleit, which means 'Little Red-head, though the Dean's hair was not exactly red, but very bright, and the savages admired it very much; so the Dean, to humor them, cut off great locks of it, and gave it to them all round. "I took a great interest in Eatum's children, and this further inclined Mr. and Mrs. Eatum to have a good opinion of me.
Madden's fancy did not run to the length of seeing her step-daughter also at Saratoga; it pictured her still as the sullen and hated "red-head," moping defiantly in corners, or courting by her insolence the punishments which leaped against their leash in the step-mother's mind to get at her. The real Celia, when she came, fairly took Mrs. Madden's breath away.
A groan of disappointment came up from below, and the folk all trooped away in different directions until there was not a red-head to be seen except my own and that of the manager. "'My name, said he, 'is Mr. Duncan Ross, and I am myself one of the pensioners upon the fund left by our noble benefactor. Are you a married man, Mr. Wilson? Have you a family? "I answered that I had not.
The moleskin waistcoat was leading now, and had reached the brook; with red-head a yard or two behind, and my cousin, a very bad third, panting it pleased me to imagine how sorely across the lower slopes to the eastward. The janitor leaned against his toll-bar and still followed me with a stare.
Then one dart of the long bill captures froggy, and the heron waits for another. You know the red-head, green mallard, canvas-back, and small teal ducks, no doubt, and have seen the flocks of wild geese flying and calling in the sky, or standing like patches of snow as they feed in the marshes or grain-fields.
"I want you to meet Professor Berry, the real leader of this expedition. Professor, this young red-head is Martin Grey, a sort of nephew by adoption who knows more about night life than most cabaret proprietors and not much of anything else. He has shaken the dangers of the gold-diggers to face with us the dangers of the tropic seas."
After supper Thorpe was approached by Purdy, the reptilian red-head with whom he had had the row some evenings before. "You in, chummy?" he asked in a quiet voice. "It's a five apiece for Hank's woman." "Yes," said Thorpe. The men were earning from twenty to thirty dollars a month. They had, most of them, never seen Hank Paul before this autumn.
"Do you remember that wild red-head cowboy Neale's friend when he said, 'I reckon thet's aboot all? ... I'll never forget him ... Lodge, say we have Lee and his friend Senator Dunn come in, and get it over. An' thet'll be aboot all!" "Thank Heaven!" replied the chief, fervently. He called to his porter, but as no one replied, General Lodge rose and went into the next car.
