When she had gone, Olaf said to me, abruptly, "Why does she wear gray?" "Oh, she has worked out a theory that repression in color is an evidence of advanced civilization. The Japanese, for example " "Why should civilization advance? It has gone far enough too far And she should wear a blue cloak sea-blue the color of her eyes " "And of yours." I smiled at him. "Yes. Are they like hers?"
They were huge and prominent, a deep sea-blue set in pale crystal rims and black circles. A swordfish could revolve his eyes and turn them in their sockets so that they were absolutely protected in battle with his mates and rivals. The eye had a covering of bone, cup-shaped, and it was this bone that afforded protection.
I knew I was as timid as a hare myself, but my lonely little heart was beginning to bleed, and as well as I could for my throat which was choking me, I said: "I'm not afraid of the sea not crabs neither." In a moment the big mushroom hat was tipped aside and the sea-blue eyes looked aslant at me. "Isn't you, though?" "No." That did it. I could see it did.
Do you know anything of the state of a man who cannot utter the most ordinary words to a woman without being conscious that he is making mad love to her? This afternoon I found myself telling Miss Vanderpoel the story of Red Godwyn and Alys of the Sea-Blue Eyes.
Its effect was to straighten the admiral's back, and enlarge in grey glass a pair of sea-blue eyes. And, 'What's that? Whitechapel? the admiral exclaimed, at high pitch, far above his understanding.

"He looks," she considered, "tall as he is, and with his radiant blondeur with the gold in his hair and beard, and the sea-blue in his eyes he looks like a hero out of some old Norse saga. He looks like-what's his name? like Odin. I must really compel him to explain himself."
