Half across the room she stopped and put out a shoe. "Why " she began faintly. There was a curious rusty-looking splash upon it; and her husband saw her turn white. He rose abruptly. "My dear," he said, "don't be foolish."
Wild-eyed poets and rusty-looking, impecunious painters were firmly warned away from Balmoral. The thought that all poets and painters were anarchistic and dangerous certainly disagreeable was firmly fixed in the heart of the young Queen and her attendants. The barrier had first been raised to Landseer. He was requested to visit the palace and paint a picture of one of the Queen's deerhounds.
The large, bare, rusty-looking walls hid the church of Santa Maria in Ara Coeli and the spot where the temple of Capitoline Jove had formerly stood, radiant in all its royalty.

But at that instant he saw in the corner, by the little bed, Ilusha’s little boots, which the landlady had put tidily side by side. Seeing the old, patched, rusty-looking, stiff boots he flung up his hands and rushed to them, fell on his knees, snatched up one boot and, pressing his lips to it, began kissing it greedily, crying, “Ilusha, old man, dear old man, where are your little feet?”
