"Beg your pardon, sir," said old Johnson, "but I have a letter here for you," and from his inside pocket he drew one of the familiar steel-gray envelopes, which he handed to Bobby.
Royston, you know Lillian Marable, that was." Bayne looked as if suddenly checked in headlong speed startled, almost stunned. The blood rushed in a tumultuous flood to his thin cheeks, then receded, leaving his face mottled red and white. His steel-gray eyes suddenly glowed like hot metal.
If there were a next world, my friend," and here he placed his hand familiarly on his guest's shoulder, while the bright, steel-gray under-gleam sparkled in his splendid eyes "'twould be worth dwelling in for the sake of Hyspiros, as grand a god as any of the Thunderers in the empyrean!"
The mountains moved farther away and became shadowy; the steel-gray of the skies darkened; up from the southwest rolled ugly brown clouds; there was a rush of chill air. Harley understood all, and a shiver passed over him. But his fear was for her, not for himself. "It is going to snow," said Sylvia. "And we are lost in this desert; it was I, too, who brought you here," said Harley.
"You mean to say," said Gilbert, "that you took seriously what my doddering old uncle said? I told you I thought he was crazy, and you seemed to agree with me. What are you talking about now?"

But had he really desired to?
He wondered if there was soul in those steel-gray eyes that were often quite blue of color and that were strong with the briny airs of the sun- washed deep. He wondered, also, how his eyes looked to her. He tried to imagine himself she, gazing into those eyes of his, but failed in the jugglery.
