Larkins was certainly the better singer; but could her straw-coloured curls and dumpy high-shouldered figure bear any comparison with the jetty ringlets and stately form of Morgiana? Did not Mrs.
Her unconscious vanity rebelled against risking loss at this table of which she had been the queen, the idol. She rose, pale and suddenly tired. "I won't play any more," she said, in a little voice, like a child's. "Oh, why?" asked the young man with the straw-coloured hair. "I don't know why," she answered. "Only I don't want to." "Your money!" exclaimed Madame d'Ambre.
It was now about half-past three, the straw-coloured sun was perching on the hill-tops, and darkness would soon be drawing on apace. For perhaps a quarter of an hour I sat there, living over again the precious minutes under the bridge, when the clatter of hoofs awakened me to the realities of the situation.
Of its Alpine background they retain certain abstracted elements only, of cool colour and tranquillising line; and they use its actual details, the brown windy turrets, the straw-coloured fields, the forest arabesques, but as the notes of a music which duly accompanies the presence of their men and women, presenting us with the spirit or essence only of a certain sort of landscape a country of the pure reason or half-imaginative memory.
He was turned away from the door at their entrance, and Dot saw only a massive head of straw-coloured hair above a neck that was burnt brick-red. Then, laughing at some joke, he wheeled round again to the table; and she saw his face.... It was the face of a Viking, deeply sunburnt, vividly alive.

There was secrecy written all over their blond faces, and in every strand of their straw-coloured hair.
He had a habit of humming vague notes in the silence of conversation, as if to put you at your ease. His body and face were lean and arid, his eyes oblique and small, his hair straight and dry and straw-coloured; and it flew out crackling with electricity, to meet his cap as he put it on.
Don Alberto Altieri at once came forward to take care of her, and nine-tenths of the Roman ladies present immediately asked of their attendant gentlemen who the handsome young woman in straw-coloured silk might be, whose hair had 'quite the Venetian tinge, and whom 'dear Don Alberto seemed to know so well. The result was that the occasion was Ortensia's first real appearance in Roman society; and before her husband was ready to go home, she had made the acquaintance of nearly all the great ladies present.
Her hair was straw-coloured and stringy in spite of the labour she had expended on it with curling-iron and brush. As to her face, the more noticeable features were a very broad, flat nose; a comparatively chinless under jaw, on which grew an accidental wisp of hair or two; a narrow and permanently decorated upper lip. When she smiled well, the effect was discouraging, to say the least.
