He was a fine-looking, sun-browned young fellow, but his face was now disfigured by the fall and contracted with pain; and Mr Inglis could not but feel sad to look upon so pitiable a sight a fine, hearty young man stricken with death through the act of petty theft of which he had been guilty.
Marcus' sun-browned face turned scarlet, and he stood silent, staring in reply, beginning almost to cower he, the brave, young, growing warrior before the old servant's stern eyes, and ready to shiver at the pricking of the conscience that was now hard at work.
Armitage loosened his arm from the other's hold, and stood inert as though he had received a numbing blow. "Dead! When did she die?" In a few words Blythe told him. Armitage heard in silence. Mechanically he began to collect his drawings and put them in a portfolio. His face was pale under its sun-browned tint, his expression almost tragic.
He looked at her waving hair, luxuriant and glinting rich brown gleams in the sunlight; her thick, arched brows and hazel eyes, liquid and full of mystery as woodland pools; her skin, sun-browned and satiny, with abundant tides of life-blood coursing vigorously in its warm flush; her ripe lips. He studied her, and loved and yearned toward her; and in him the passion leaped up like living flames.
The one set comprised the lucky ones of fortune the butterflies of fashion; the other the strugglers for life the vagabonds of fate. Yet these vagabonds had homes and mothers, wives and children, to whom the rough, sun-browned, coarsely clad men of the Gem of the Ocean were their all, their world, and on the exertion of whose hands and brain they depended for food, raiment, and shelter.
Five stripes on his arm for wounds, all won in colonial work, sun-browned, swart, with a strong, abutting chin which might have been a fit point for Nivelle's pencil, an eye that said "Attack!" and could twinkle with the wisdom of many campaigns!
It was well that those bulging steel-gray eyes were bent over the card, or they could not have failed to catch the flicker of amazement that swept across Medenham's sun-browned face when he heard the name of his cousin. He had not been in England a full week as yet, and he happened not to have read a list of probable starters for the Derby.
'Poor, poor Eddy! thought Rosa, as they went along. Mr. Tartar waved his right hand as he bent his head down over Rosa, talking in an animated way. 'It was not so powerful or so sun-browned when it saved Mr. Crisparkle, thought Rosa, glancing at it; 'but it must have been very steady and determined even then. Mr. Tartar told her he had been a sailor, roving everywhere for years and years.
"Want me, uncle?" The head was raised, and a pair of fierce-looking eyes glared at the interrupter of the studies from beneath enormously-produced, thick, white eyebrows, and through a great pair of round tortoise-shell spectacles. "Want you, boy?" was the reply, as the speaker held up a large white swan-quill pen on a level with his sun-browned and reddened nose. "No, Lick. Be off!"
I stood at the head of the stairs and looked back at his handsome, though sun-browned face, and I felt a strange and strong sympathy for him, but I had not begun to agonize in my love; it was so new that I was dazzled.
