How Virginia's laugh had rippled out upon the air it filled all the cottage with music! It was mid-January, and he sat gazing into the rose-colored heart of the open coal fire going over it all the whole brilliant, full year. "Sissy," he said suddenly, "Do you remember the birthday parties I used to tell you about that I had given me when I was a boy living with the Allans?"
Through the painted canvas of the tent city candle-light glowed with a faint rose-colored light, and the Red Cross hung limp above the camp where many wounded lay, waking or sleeping, tossing in agony, dying in unconsciousness. Far away over the fields, rockets were rising above the battle-lines. The sky was flickering with the flush of gun-fire.
She opened her door, and sat down, waiting, before the fire. Did she think of that night when she had had on the rose-colored silk, and had set the door ajar? Something in her had made her ashamed of that. She was not ashamed she had no misgiving of this that she was going to do now. She was all alone; she had no other place to wait in she had no one to tell her anything.
La Tinti whose name also resembled that which the French singer assumed was now seventeen, and the poor Prince three-and-twenty. What mocking hand had thought it sport to bring the match so near the powder? A fragrant room hung with rose-colored silk and brilliant with wax lights, a bed dressed in lace, a silent palace, and Venice! Two young and beautiful creatures! every ravishment at once.
Charity Givens had heard she was a great heiress, and meant to stick her for a new hospital. That Le Grand Paynter wanted to do her portrait, life size and full width, and that the Reverend Avery Goodman said she was very light on her feet for a fat woman. The last made Warble mad and she made a face at Lotta and sent her home. A rose-colored June day.
The outlook was not rose-colored. He set to work to challenge each of his jailers, but this did not serve. At five o'clock the bluff old Colonel Mollendorf came in. He dismissed the troopers, who were glad enough to be relieved. "I'll be responsible for the prisoner from now on," he said. As soon as he and Maurice were alone he propped his chin and contemplated the sullen face of the prisoner.
Instead of making his bow and then beating the decorous retreat of an eccentric recluse, Mr. Gifford Barrett, the composer of the Alan Breck Overture, had deposited his tall form in his rose-colored bathing suit on the sand at Theodora's feet. "No; I thought I wouldn't go in to-day," she said. "I don't care very much about it, when the surf is running so high."
He may be an accomplished poet, but he cannot see straight. He looks at everything through rose-colored magnifying glasses. The Hall of the Winds is a picturesque and unique piece of Hindu architecture. It looks like the frosting on a confectioners' cake. But it is six instead of nine stories in height, is made of the cheapest sort of stucco, and covered with deep pink calcimine.
At the end, Esther glancing around at the girl beside her was surprised to see a kind of mist over her gray eyes. But Betty laughed as she got up to her feet and going over to her table stooped to pick up the book she had thrown on the floor half an hour before. "I might have made my own fire if I had known that song," she said, switching on the electric light under the rose-colored shade.
I do not wish to fling a rose-colored veil over everything because it is Irish. The country is simply beautiful no works can do justice to it. Still there are some things one could find fault with freely. Between Omagh and Strabane I took a third-class car. It was dirty, of course, horribly dirty, but, as Mrs. McClarty said, "the dirt was well dried on," and it was almost empty, so I entered.
