"With Lady Constance Tremaine," finished Lady Merivale, in a low voice, from which all attempt at disguise had gone. Mephistopheles nodded again. "You have guessed aright, my lady," he said. "See! there they are together. A handsome pair; an admirable match. Yet it is sad to think " He stopped again. "What?" cried Lady Merivale, grasping his scarlet-clad arm in a fierce grip. "It will never be!"
The people watching must have enjoyed all this unusual grandeur, and felt as if they were living in a page of English history. Then the royal carriages, with the scarlet-clad coachmen and footmen, began to sweep up, and the great festival had begun.
His "Faerie Queen" in its religious theory is Puritan to the core. The worst foe of its "Red-cross Knight" is the false and scarlet-clad Duessa of Rome, who parts him for a while from Truth and leads him to the house of Ignorance. Spenser presses strongly and pitilessly for the execution of Mary Stuart.
The marine guard, of near a hundred men, was paraded on board every ship-of-the-line. The national anthem was played, the scarlet-clad guard presented, and all officers and crews stood bareheaded, as the flag with measured dignity rose slowly to the staff-head. Lord St. Vincent himself made a point of attending always, and in full uniform; a detail he did not require of other officers.
She felt a tremor when she was outside the gate, but it came from excitement and not from fear the exaltation of spirit would not permit her to be afraid. She glanced at the forest, but it was only a blur before her. The slim, scarlet-clad figure led on. Lucy glanced over her shoulder, and she saw the women following her in a double file, grave and resolute.
A flower incarnate stood before him; stood nay, danced in the wind. Over the sunny sward two little scarlet-clad feet chased each other in rhythmic maze; dainty little brown hands spread the folds of the deep blue skirt; a bodice, silver-laced, served as stalk, on which balanced, lightly swaying, the flower of flowers itself. Hilarius' eyes travelled upwards and rested there.
Anthony backed out of the presence, smiling; and his last glimpse was once more of the great scarlet-clad figure with the slender waist, and the priceless pearls, and the haze of muslin behind that crowned auburn head, and the pale oval face smiling at him with narrow eyes and all in a glory of sunshine. He did not see Mary Corbet again until evening as she was with the Queen all the afternoon.
"Yeth, thir," said Vinie, her brown arm deep in the beaded pouch. The two lads left behind the scarlet-clad porch, the hunter and Vinie, the little green yard and the broken gate. "Where first? demanded Tom. "Where is the best place in Richmond to buy books?" Young Mocket considered. "There's a shop near the bridge. What do you want with books?" "I want to read them. We'll go to the bridge first."
But he had not yet done with Futteh Ali Shah. "I am going out," he said suavely. "Shall we walk a little way together?" Futteh Ali Shah smiled. Landowner of importance that he was, the opportunity to ride side by side through Peshawur with the Chief Commissioner did not come every day. The two men went out into the porch. Ralston's horse was waiting, with a scarlet-clad syce at its head.
"Well, I don't know how you did it, but congratulations. You passed the classification tests. Both of you." Tom just looked at the scarlet-clad, stumpy warrant officer. He couldn't believe his ears. Suddenly he felt as if he had been lifted off his feet. And then he realized that he was off his feet. Astro was holding him over his head.
