Although my fever had practically disappeared by the time I went to bed that night, I lolled down to the breakfast table the next morning later than ever, making an impression in a shell-pink tea-gown; luxuriously dawdled over a late egg and coffee; and then lazily borrowed a maid about eleven o'clock and allowed her to unpack for me.
There is an apparent triviality in the action with the scissors, but your discernment perceives at once that there is a design in it which makes it eminently worthy of a large-headed, long-limbed young man; for you see that Lucy wants the scissors, and is compelled, reluctant as she may be, to shake her ringlets back, raise her soft hazel eyes, smile playfully down on the face that is so very nearly on a level with her knee, and holding out her little shell-pink palm, to say,
I shall pace to and fro in the direct line of fire, and hang on my back the king's proclamation, inside out, and written on it in large letters 'By order of my sister I do this. Then what will be said of you, if they only kill me? My feelings might be very sad, but I should not envy yours, Faith." "I shall put on my shell-pink," she said, "and they won't have the heart to fire shells at it."
The maid had set the two in an hour ago and tiptoed away lest she waken the weary little sleeper. Tony got up and opened the box. Roses dozens of them, worth the price of a month's wages to many a worker in the city! Frail, exquisite, shell-pink beauties, with gold at their hearts!
Nothing could be more decorative in this particular room during the day than the shade described; but were it not for the shell-pink lining, gleaming through the silk of the shade when lighted, it would have no decorative value at all at night. In ordering or making shades, be sure that you select colours and materials which produce a diffused light.
From the pocket of her shell-pink sweater she drew forth a small white box of startlingly familiar appearance. "Does this belong to you?" demanded she. Beneath the mockery of her eyes Robert Morton could feel the color mount to his temples. "Well, well!" he said, with a ghastly attempt at gaiety, "So you were C. L. G." "Naturally. Didn't the initials suggest the possibility?"
He wheeled sharply around, and found Sylvia standing beside him Sylvia, dressed in shell-pink, shimmering satin and foamy lace, with pearls in her dark hair and golden slippers on her feet, her neck and arms white and bare and gleaming. With a little sound that was half a sob, and half a cry of joy, she flung her arms around his neck and drew his face down to hers.
The may-tree by the gate knew its perfect moment, covered with crystal buds that shone like rain among the bright green leaves. From every pear-tree full-blossomed, dropping petals and from every shell-pink apple-tree came the roar of the bees. Abel rose very early, for he considered it the proper thing to make a wreath for Hazel, being an artist in such matters.
The young woman turned to him eagerly, a warm glow in her shell-pink cheeks. "Well?" she inquired. "Worked out fine, Rose," Kirby said. "I could see the whole thing." "Still, that don't prove anything," the other man put in. He belonged to the staff of the private detective agency with which Kirby was dealing. The Wyoming man smiled. "It proves my theory is possible.
I told the Hawley Boy so. 'And what did that sweet youth do? 'Turned shell-pink and looked across the far blue hills like a distressed cherub. Am I talking wildly, Polly? Let me say my say, and I shall be calm. Otherwise I may go abroad and disturb Simla with a few original reflections.
