But they saw the fallen editor pick himself up, with a face of stupefied wonder, and immediately start back toward the angry proof-reader. Mr. Pat lowered redly on his threshhold. "G'awn now! Get away!" Queed came to a halt a pace away and stood looking at him. "G'awn, I tell ye! I don't want no more of your foolin'!"
He jerked the drapery aside and found himself in a dark corridor. From his son's description of the chambers he had no difficulty in recognising the door of the study. He turned the handle the door proved to be unlocked and entered the darkened room. In the grate a huge fire glowed redly; the temperature of the place was almost unbearable.
I thank God that the time is not yet when a woman is not safe in the camp of either North or South. Come!" She dismounted from the wagon and slowly they walked together to the top of the hill. Prescott pointed to the valley, where the fires glowed redly across the snow. "Here I leave you," he said. She looked up at him and the glow of the fires below was reflected in her eyes.
The cut wire dangled, its end gleaming redly in the light beam. Cutting the wire should have broken the circuit, but it hadn't. Why? If the cut wire hadn't interrupted the circuit, that meant the circuit had been bypassed. Rick was sure a signal had gotten to the blockhouse somehow, showing that the drone control was operating.

And constantly from bough to bough twined a great scarlet-flowered creeper, glowing redly in all this mystery of shade.
The dangerous brightness glittered in his eyes, the cold change spread fast over his cheeks, and the scars of the arrow-wounds began to burn redly and more redly, as he whispered to himself "I'll be even yet, Mary, with the man who laid you here!"

Have our own peculiar warnings gone by unheeded, the frequent slave insurrections of the South?
The torchlight beat redly upon him, giving his hair a tint ruddier than was natural to it; yet the expression of the countenance was as usual all gentleness and pity. Opposite this most unmartial figure stood the rabble, gaping, silent, awed, cowering ready at a sign of anger from him to break and run.
There were redly varnished chairs, upright piano, a heavily framed saccharine print of loves and a flushed, sleeping divinity; a table scarred by burning cigarettes, holding cerise knitting on needles one of which was broken, glasses with dregs of beer, a photograph in a tarnished silver frame of Harriet de Barry Polder with undraped shoulders and an exploited dimple, and a copy of a technical journal.
But it was not only the pirates who were to be surprised. Long before the pirate ship had come within extreme visibility range of the Triplanetary Fleet, it lost its invisibility and was starkly outlined upon the lookout plates of the three fugitives.
