"Yes." "Did they steal anything?" Cunningham could positively see Cleigh's jowls redden as he shook his head to the query. "Sorry. You can't expect us to waste coal hunting for a scoundrel who only borrowed your yacht." But what was the row between Cleigh and his son? That was a puzzler. Not a word! They ignored each other absolutely. These dinners were queer games, to be sure.
But those others, the Brulls ah! they had, up there in Madrid, friends, influence! If they wanted to they could get the ear of the Throne itself. They were people with a "pull," and if anyone suggested in his presence that Rafael's mother was thinking of Remedios as a daughter-in-law, don Matías would redden with satisfaction and modestly reply: "I don't know; I imagine it's all talk.
I know you'll understand, Gabriella, because you always understand everything " "He was so deeply in love with you," observed Gabriella sympathetically, while Florrie, diving amid the foam of her laces, brought out a tiny handkerchief, and delicately pecked at the corner of her eye, not near enough to redden the lid and not far enough away to disturb the rice powder on the side of her nose.
We could both have cried, if we hadn't feared to spoil our eyes and redden our noses! But even if we'd not been strong enough to stifle our tears, there was everything at hand to repair their ravages. And all this in a place where the Revolution had sent fourteen lovely ladies to the guillotine for servilely begging the King of Prussia to spare Verdun.
Nay, never redden so, lass. You and he know each other's minds by this time!" Margaret held her hand, and gently smiled into her face. Job Legh took the candle up, and began a leisurely inspection. "Thou hast gotten a bit of pink in thy cheeks, not much; but when last I see thee, thy lips were as white as a sheet.
A big man, plainly the leader of the strangers, dismounted and approached Sanderson. The man radiated authority. There was a belligerent gleam in his eyes as he looked Sanderson over, an inspection that caused Sanderson's face to redden, so insolent was it. Behind him the big man's companions watched, their faces expressionless, their eyes alert. "Who's runnin' this outfit?" demanded the man.
She sat holding the lamb till the sun began to redden; then it occurred to her that, under the circumstances, it was her duty to get supper. It was a welcome thought; she would see what she could do. She put the orphan at the foot of the bunk, drew the quilt over it and set to work.
And she was silent. No doubt it seemed to him too precious; a tempting of Providence to mention it yet. And the sunlight played through the leaves on that little party of the three generations grouped tranquilly under the pear-tree, which had long borne no fruit. Old Jolyon's furrowed face was reddening patchily, as old men's faces redden in the sun.
To the devil with your weak wines and your thirty-sixes, which we have been drinking since our departure from Paris! To the devil with those whimsicalities without name, those mysterious pot-house poisons with which we have been so crammed to leanness for nearly a month! We are unrecognizable; our once peaked faces redden like a drunkard's, we get noisy, with noise in the air we cut loose.
The rings of smoke went up incessantly. His face had begun to redden, his fingers to thrill to the tip with pulsing blood.
