Agnes threw a quick look at Rose; Mrs. Leyburn, as soon as she had made out through her spectacles what was the matter, broke into warm expostulations. 'It is more comfortable, dear mother, and takes much less time, said Catherine, reddening. 'Poor Mrs. Thornburgh! remarked Agnes dryly.
"No," said Fan, reddening and trying again to free herself. "Don't be so foolish, child, or you will never learn how to behave. Do you know that if you make a noise or fuss you'll disturb your mistress and she will be very angry with you. Come now, be a good dear little girl." And with gentle force he drew her between his knees and put his arm round her.
He looked ghastly in the firelight, and at that distance his face seemed to have an expression of listening blindness. I looked round on the dark bush, with, away to the left, the last glow of sunset fading from the bed of it, like a bed of reddening coals, and I looked up at the black loom of Aaron's Pass, and thought that never a man, sane or mad, was left in such a depth of gloomy loneliness.
One is over: why should the other last? Aha! I know why you hang back: you think that we may quarrel about it!" "About what, Roland?" "About it, I say; and I'll be d d if we do!" cried my uncle, reddening. "And I have been thinking a great deal upon the matter, and I have no doubt you are right.
I formerly thought that it would be worth the while to get a specimen leaf from each changing tree, shrub, and herbaceous plant, when it had acquired its brightest characteristic color, in its transition from the green to the brown state, outline it, and copy its color exactly, with paint, in a book, which should be entitled, "October, or Autumnal Tints"; beginning with the earliest reddening, Woodbine and the lake of radical leaves, and coming down through the Maples, Hickories, and Sumachs, and many beautifully freckled leaves less generally known, to the latest Oaks and Aspens.
Nils swung himself into the saddle and trotted to the west of the village, where the houses and gardens scattered into prairie land and the road turned south. Far ahead of him, in the declining light, he saw Clara Vavrika's slender figure, loitering on horseback. He touched his mare with the whip, and shot along the white, level road, under the reddening sky.
"Yes," said the Convener, "God is always good. We sometimes cannot see it, but," he added, "it was a great matter that your sister could have been there with her." "My sister?" said Shock. "Oh!" a sudden flush reddening his pale cheek. "She's not my sister she's my she's our friend, yes, a dear friend. It would be a great joy to my mother to have her."
The money is his as soon as he makes good." Both Tom and his financial manager left the president's office in a satisfied state of mind. "Great news to send home, Tom," remarked Ned, when they were alone. "Righto, Ned. My father will be glad to hear it." "And what about Mary?" And Ned poked his chum in the ribs. "I guess she'll be glad too," Tom replied, his face reddening.
"Captain Ahab," said the reddening mate, moving further into the cabin, with a daring so strangely respectful and cautious that it almost seemed not only every way seeking to avoid the slightest outward manifestation of itself, but within also seemed more than half distrustful of itself; "A better man than I might well pass over in thee what he would quickly enough resent in a younger man; aye, and in a happier, Captain Ahab."
I watched the changing hues of the peaks as the light spread from point to point; watched it reddening the sea, and leaving it black in the shadows; watched it upon the church spires of Spezia, upon the castle roof, upon the steel hulls of great ships.
