And the more red-faced and bearded or impulsive a man, the more dark, calm, cool and quiet should his wife be; and vice versa.

Now come home and do what I tell you; and when I've cured you, young man, let this be a lesson to you to steer clear of women and indigestible food till the day of your death."

I made out his burly figure and red-whiskered face on the harbour wall before I had passed Castle Cornet, and heard his big voice good-humouredly roaring to the men at work in the rigging of a large schooner that lay alongside. He greeted me with great goodwill. "Why, surely, Phil," he said very heartily, in reply to my request.
The conversation had already become general; and under cover of it, I was addressing some tender small talk to my sweetheart when I was aware that at the further end of the table a short red-whiskered man was describing, with much embroidery, his encounter with a mad unknown that evening.

When Dickie came back, without mushrooms, the red-whiskered man was gone.
"Tell that red-whiskered man to come outside," bawled Mr. Todd. "What's he afraid of?" "What have you been doing to him?" inquired Captain Brisket, turning to the pallid Mr. Chalk. "Nothing," was the reply. "Is he coming out?" demanded the terrible voice, "or have I got to wait here all night? Why don't he come outside, and I'll break every bone in his body." Mr.
