"Only when I come through Little Smoky the other day an ol' flame of his asked about him. The Fire Bird they call her. Know her?" Ernestine Dumont's face grew a shade redder in its mortification even while she knew that the man was lying to tease her.
The dead staff blossomed, and bare lilies that were whiter than pearls. The dry thorn blossomed, and bare roses that were redder than rubies. Whiter than fine pearls were the lilies, and their stems were of bright silver. Redder than male rubies were the roses, and their leaves were of beaten gold.
And one day I caught Winnenap' drawing out from mid leaf a fine strong fibre for making snares. The borders of the iris fields are pure gold, nearly sessile buttercups and a creeping-stemmed composite of a redder hue. I am convinced that English-speaking children will always have buttercups.
Then the dark fell, and while airplanes flew west into the sunset there was a redder sunset in the east, where the unceasing flashes of gunfire were pale against the angry glow of burning dumps. The sight of the bonnet-badge of a Scots Fusilier made me halt, and the man turned out to belong to my division.
Hanne grows red, redder than blood, and leans her head on his shoulder. Only see how she surrenders herself, blissful in her unashamed ecstasy! She droops backward in his arms, and from between her lips springs a great rose of blood, that gushes down over the summer-blue dress. Fastened to the spot by his terrible burden, Pelle stands there unable to move.
I told Tate Penny you were prettier than Tid; and so you are. Such red cheeks! But what makes one cheek redder than the other?" "O, I eat my bread 'n' milk that side o' my mouf," replied Flyaway; "and that's why." "What an idea! And your hair is just as fine as ever it was; the color of my ring isn't it, Prudy?" Flyaway put her little hand to her head, and felt the floss flying about as usual.
Her cheeks were redder than ever, and her black eyes seemed to have caught something of the sparkle of the frost outside. "Hullo!" said she, when she caught sight of Comfort. "That you, Comfort Pease?" "Hullo!" Comfort returned, faintly. She was dreadfully afraid of this big girl, who was as much as sixteen years old, and studied algebra, and was also said to have a beau.
One after another almost came, but failed, and at last, just as he took in his breath to say he knew not what anything so it were something he saw her smile melt with sudden kindness, while her lips parted for speech, and to his immeasurable confusion and terror heard himself ask her with cheerful cordiality, "Won't you walk in?" It would have been hard to tell which of the two turned the redder.
Why, where's your pink?" The man's face was already so red it could not get any redder but it tried to do so. "Why, er I it er if you'll just come into the waiting-room a minute, my dear," he stuttered miserably, "I I'll explain about that. I shall have to leave you for a minute," he plunged on frenziedly, as he led the way to a seat; "A matter of business that I must attend to.
Noble creature!" whispered he, and his lips quivered, and on his forehead appeared the red spots. Maryan called from beyond the door: "Hurry, old man! We shall be late!" A few minutes afterward Kranitski entered the drawing-room. His shoulders were bent; his lids redder than before. "I cannot as I love you, I cannot go with you! I feel ill." "Indeed, he must be ill!" cried Maryan.
