I never knew any one catch a fish in that pond, but we did a deal of anticipation there, and watched the dragon-flies flit to and fro, and heard the rustle of they transparent wings. Splendid ones they were. First of all, there came early in the summer the thin-bodied ones, some of a steely-blue, some dark with clear wings, and with them those with the wings clouded with dark patches.
Roofs the roofs that made a steep sky-line above the hills of old San Francisco glinted in the light. The glimpse of the bay that had not yet been lost between the walls of fast-encroaching new buildings, was no longer dull, and beaten level by the rain, but showed cold, and ruffled, and steely-blue; there was even a whitecap or two dancing on the crests out toward Alcatraz.
Stephen was not very learned in the make of women's frocks, but he understood color and could appreciate how that steely-blue made her complexion glow warm as ivory and her hair like copper. They were pretending to quarrel over a dish of salted almonds; Deena declared that French was getting the lion's share, and finally covered the little silver basket that held them with her hand.
"Why are you so anxious for me to sting the rabbit?" asked the wasp, as he flittered his steely-blue wings. "Oh, if you do that it will scare him so that he won't know which way to run, and then, when he is all puzzled up, I can jump out on him and eat him up!" said the voice. "I have been wanting a rabbit dinner this long time," and with that out from the bushes crawled the bad fox.

Steely-blue was the right word, all right. Well, then, what more could you ask? Behind his back sinister yet fascinating rumors circulated. He was the brilliant but unscrupulous scion of a haughty house in England.
I was told that while in London he had to account to her for every penny of the money he took with him in the morning, and for every hour of his time. And she kept the bankbook, too. Those steely-blue eyes of his flashed with positive ferocity out of that black-bearded face. He impressed me there was so much dark passion in his leisurely contempt. "The cheek of the fellow!

I can hearken back to Adam the same as yourselves; but if it's some one more modern you're asking for there's that rascal, Dan O'Connell.
Genevieve too was quiet, responding with a gently absent smile, when her cavalier, turning upon her his cold and expressionless steely-blue eyes, addressed to her some short regulation remark on the weather, or the boredom of his journey across the plains. The phlegmatic calm of his demeanor remained intact even under the coquettish onslaughts of Mrs. Peck and Mrs.
"Of course. I detest waiting for trains or anything else. I'm just dying to go, and I've got the cutest little traveling case. It " "Has a special compartment for chocolates; hasn't it, Grace?" asked Mollie Billette, whose dark and flashing eyes, and black hair, with just a shade of steely-blue in it, betrayed the French blood in her veins.
For here and there the river caught a steely-blue light from the sky overhead; and the sunshine shone along the round chalk hills; and there were little patches of villages far away among the dusk of the leafless trees, where the church spire rising into the blue seemed to attract the wheeling of pigeons.
