It sounded as if he liked her and was not the least afraid she would not like him, though he was only a common moor boy, in patched clothes and with a funny face and a rough, rusty-red head. As she came closer to him she noticed that there was a clean fresh scent of heather and grass and leaves about him, almost as if he were made of them.
If there ever was a suffering penitent, here was one. In a few moments, the girl stirred, then sensing that someone was in the room, she awoke with a start, and sprang to her feet. "It's only Dorian," said he. "Oh!" she put her hand to her head, brushing back her hair. "Dorian, is it you?" "Sure, in real flesh and blood and rusty-red hair." He tried to force cheerfulness into his words.
Frisky started toward the place where he had heard that whistle. He called to Jasper Jay; but there was no answer. Nor did he hear the whistle again. He hunted all around; but no Jasper Jay could he find. And he was just going to give up the search when there was a sudden rush through the air. Frisky dodged just in time; and a big body, grayish-brown, with a rusty-red tail, went tearing past him.
"Do human beings live here?" she asked Ridgeley, when he opened the door of the main shanty of No. 6. "Forty creatures of the men kind sleep and house here," he replied. "To which the socks and things give evidence," said Field, promptly, pointing toward the huge stove which sat like a rusty-red cheese in the centre of the room.
Length only five and a half to six inches the very least in size of all the Snipe family. Upper parts black or blackish, in summer with rusty-red edgings and white tips of many feathers, in winter these edgings gray, a light line over the eye and a dark line from the bill to the eye. Under parts white, tinged in summer with buff on the breast and at all seasons mottled there with dusky.
Made of red cedar and unpolished, the cornices and uprights of them were carved with arabesques in high relief. An antique, Persian carpet, sombre in colouring and of great value, covered the greater portion of the pale pink and gray mosaic pavement of the floor. Thick, rusty-red, Genoa-velvet curtains were drawn over each low, square window. A fire of logs burned on the open hearth.
If you think a Hawk has stolen a pet Hen, look well before you shoot; and if he has rusty-red shoulders count yourself mistaken and let him go." "A true account," said the Eagle; "you stand acquitted. Sparrow Hawk, your turn." This charming little Hawk, about the size of a Shrike, had all the beauty of shape and color of a song bird, combined with Hawk-like dash. His wings were narrow and pointed.
John Smith, of Oxford surely a most non-committing name round sharp corners and over rutty lanes, tire-deep in mud, across the rusty-red moor, till, all at once, at a turn, a gap of stormy sea appeared wedge-shape between two shelving rock-walls. It was a lonely spot. Rocks hemmed it in; big breakers walled it. The sou'-wester roared through the gap.
Radish, in a long rusty-red overcoat and a scarf muffled round his neck, already stood leaning with his head against the wall, gazing with a devout expression at the stage. Madame Azhogin went up first to one and then to another guest, saying something agreeable to each. She had a way of gazing into one's face, and speaking softly as though telling a secret.
To-day I have been riding quietly among fields deep with buttercups and fringed by clear, slow streams. The trees are in full spring leaf, only the oaks and walnuts a little belated, unfurling their rusty-red fronds.
