My schoolmates imitated the University students, wore gay-colored caps, dark golden-red bands, and carried canes adorned with tassels; but I wore over my wild hair a pointed Calabrian hat, around my neck a loose silk handkerchief fastened together in an artistic knot, and in unpleasant weather a cloak, the red-lined corner of which I threw picturesquely over my left shoulder.
I 'll keep to the story of the Rosana as time is short. Mr. Dunbar took his faithful friend his short pipe from its red-lined case, filled it with tobacco, and began to draw luxuriously. 'The Rosana sprang a leak after her first day out, on her run down the coast, and was lost in twenty fathoms of water.
At the smaller conveyer building, there were no conveyers, only a number of red-lined fifty-foot circles around a central two-hundred-foot circle. The Organization personnel there had been dragged outside, and a group of paracops were sealing it up, installing robot watchmen, and preparing to flood it with gas.
He started on hearing the door open, and after a pause, rose. "She is dead," he said slowly. "My wife is dead." Brigit caught at a chair as she saw his face, for it was the face of an old man, blanched and wrinkled and hollow-eyed. "My wife is dead," he repeated. Then he turned to the table, and seeing her shabby old red-lined work-basket, took it up and held it to his breast.
It was an oriental polyglot scene down there on the hospital quay in the comparative cool of evening, when the big white hospital ship lay off the bank and crowds of ticketed patients sat under the shelters waiting their turn to embark. Now and then a pale nurse, dressed in white, with white helmet and red-lined parasol would walk through the throng.
They are apt to eye with considerable caution any new arrival; the 'new arrival' is disposed to be equally select, and so they live together and apart, after the true English model; and indulging sometimes, it must be added, in considerable speculation about their new neighbours' business. 'Why were they proud because red-lined accounts Were richer than the songs of Grecian years?
Once inside he wrinkled his shoulders with the shivering movement of a horse dislocating a fly, dropped the red-lined end of the capa, removed his Panama and began a series of genuflections which showed me at once that he had been born among a people who imbibed courtesy with their mother's, or their cocoanut's, milk. "I am look' for the Grandioso Engineer," said the visitor.
I had given White an old red-lined coat, one which I had worn conspicuously in a number of battles, and which the Indians had marked as a special target on that account. A party of Indians had been driven from among the lodges into a narrow gorge, and some of the soldiers, among them Captain Charles King, had gone after them.
Our tent boys carry our third rifle, and behind them all comes the head-man, ready to spur on any lagging porters. The early morning hours are bright and cool, but along about nine o'clock the equatorial sun begins to beat down upon our heavy sun helmets and our red-lined and padded spine protectors. But it is seldom hot for long. A cloud passes across the sun and instantly everything is cooled.
And, toward the end of that month, came the day which Samson had set for his departure. He had harvested the corn, and put the farm in order. He had packed into his battered saddlebags what things were to go with him into his new life. The sun had set in a sickly bank of murky, red-lined clouds. His mule, which knew the road, and could make a night trip, stood saddled by the stile.
