"White, I understand," he said. "White is the fancy of a young girls. But why scarlets? Could you see scarlets when you were blind?" "Almost," she answered, "if it was bright enough. I used to feel something pass before my eyes when scarlet was shown to me." "In these cataracts-cases, it is constantly scarlets that they almost see," muttered Grosse to himself.
As the radiance of some rising sun may cast its bright beams into the opposite sky, even so the glowing past behind us flings its purples and its golds and its scarlets on to the else dim curtain of the future. Remember that you may hope.
The ships that come from the Red Sea frequent the ports of Pegu and Ciriam, bringing woollen cloths, scarlets, velvets, opium, and chequins, by which last they incur loss, yet they necessarily bring them wherewith to make their purchases, and they afterwards make great profit of the commodities which they take back with them, from Pegu.
Stronger and stronger beat the pulse of returning life. A jetting stream struck squarely upon the Metal Emperor. Out blazed his splendors jubilant. His golden zodiac, no longer tarnished and dull, ran with sun flames; the wondrous rose was a racing, lambent miracle. Up snapped the Keeper; towered behind him, all flickering scarlets and leaping yellows no longer wrathful or sullen.
Over them moved hurrying companies; from them came flashings, glitterings prismatic, sun golden; plutonic scarlets, molten blues; javelins of colored light piercing upward from unfolded cubes and globes and pyramids crossing them or from busy bearers of the shining fruits of the mysterious workshops.
Major-General Kervick's prominent blue eyes had bulged forth in rage till their appearance had disconcerted the other's gaze.

For example A.B. was bred a dry-salter, and he goes in partner with with C.D., a scarlet-dyer, called a bow-dyer, at Wandsworth. As a salter, A.B. has had experience enough in the materials for dyeing, as well scarlets as all other colours, and understands very well the buying of cochineal, indigo, galls, shumach, logwood, fustick, madder, and the like; so that he does his part very well.
The Motor Maids, dressed in their very best party frocks, had gathered in the drawing-room early before the arrival of the three guests. Each maid sat in a large chair and gazed about her from side to side. The riot of color, the scarlets and oranges, the tawny browns, pale pinks and delicate yellows seemed to bewilder them.
Even if nines are organized in every ward, as has been suggested, it is hard to see how they can be allowed to play each other, as they would want to, of course, as soon as they could toddle about. It would be something, though, a smallpox nine pitted against the scarlets or the measles, with an umpire from the mixed ward!
When the two men drove into the yard that August morning, the Hapgood twins were picking nasturtiums, and the flaming yellows and scarlets lighted up their somber gowns, and made patches of brilliant color against the gray of the house. "By Jove, it's a picture!" exclaimed the would-be purchaser. The lawyer smiled and sprang to the ground.
