Heavily built and massive, there was a suggestion of uncouth physical inertia in the figure, but above this unwieldy frame there was perched a head so masterful in its brow, so alert in its steel-gray, deep-set eyes, so firm in its lips, and so subtle in its play of expression, that after the first glance one forgot the gross body and remembered only the dominant mind.
At her words Bill Carmody's face darkened, and his great fists clenched until the nails bit deep into his palms. The steel-gray eyes narrowed to slits and, as the girl finished, he arose and gently lifted one of the little hands between his own.
"You didn't get them?" "Not one." "Who did then?" She shook her head. "No one knew you'd gone but Dr. Harpe." "Dr. Harpe!" "You wrote her!" "I wrote Dr. Harpe?" He stared at her for one incredulous second. "I wrote Dr. Harpe! She said so?" "She said you left a letter for her." There leaped into his steel-gray eyes a look which reminded Kincaid of the play of a jagged flash of lightning.
From our nook in the ridge he could easily make it by riding a little after dark. "Goodell and Gregory and Hicks you know," said MacRae. "Bevans is a second edition of Hicks, only not so tall by two or three inches a square-shouldered, good-looking brute, with light hair and steel-gray eyes and a short brown mustache.
Once three steel-gray deer started out of the scrub and went bounding off, displaying enormous white flags; once a young buck, hunting for trouble, winded it, whistled, and came leaping past Rosalie so close that she shrank aside with a half-stifled cry of apprehension and delight.
"I reckon I don't catch your meaning." "That you lost your arm?" The boy added quickly, "My father was a soldier under General Early." The steel-gray eyes shot at him again. "I was under Early myself." "My father was a captain Captain Farnum," the young warrior announced proudly. "Not Phil Farnum!" "Yes, sir. Did you know him?" Jeff trembled with eagerness.
The steel-gray ones of the older man answered the challenge of his rival with a long, steady look. There was in it something of triumph, something of scornful insolence. If this young fellow wanted war, he did not need to wait long for it. "Time enough for that, man. Miss O'Neill and I have the whole Arctic winter before us for stories."
But they did not want any of these people, Ruth cried with a ringing laugh; didn't want any old people; they just wanted their dear Uncle Peter, and they were going to have him; a resolution which was put to vote and carried unanimously, the two pink bridesmaids and the two steel-gray gentlemen voting the loudest.
She wound the puggree about her hat. When the right moment came she would discard the puggree and drop the black veil. Her coat was of dark blue, lined with steel-gray taffeta. Turned inside out it would fool any man. She wore spats. These she would leave behind when she made the change. Someone might follow her as far as the Knickerbocker, but beyond there, never.
There was not a brown hair in Jan's coat; not one hair of any other color than black or iron-gray. His saddle and haunches were jetty black, so was the crown of his head. But his muzzle was the right wolfhound steel-gray. So were his chest, belly, and legs, though the black hairs crept fairly low down on the outsides of his thighs and hocks, the inner sides being all hard gray.
