The roan squatted and ducked sidewise, and Lance raised his head. Down the rough trail rode a big cowpuncher with sun-reddened face and an air of great weariness. His horse plodded wearily, thin-flanked, his black hair sweat-roughened and dingy. The rider looked at Lance with red-veined eyes, the inflamed lids showing sleepless nights.
The information did not flow from me as I desired, but was, rather, gasped out or so it seems to me on looking back. I felt him turn his eyes on me they look absurdly blue and youthful in his sun-reddened, middle-aged face but I think I mentioned this before. You know how I love a man's hair clipped to the bone, Berthalina? My dear, this one wears his in a mop!
But he always returned to the door in the garden wall when duty permitted and leaned at ease there, smoking his pipe, keen-eyed, impassive, gazing on the unbroken line of young men men of his own race, sun-scorched, dusty, swinging along the Belfort road, their right elbows brushing Switzerland, their high sun-reddened pillar of dust drifting almost into Germany, and their heavy tread thundering through that artery of France like the prophetic pulse of victory.
Her dark head bent beside his fair one with the crisp sun-reddened curls. "I don't see any message. Where is it?" "I don't see it myself not much of it. Gimme time."
There was an underlying hardness of defiance in her words, and the firm, sun-reddened chin unconsciously thrust forward beneath the encircling mosquito net. She paused, but the man, expressionless, continued to gaze out over the surface of the river. "I do not know exactly where," she continued, "but it will be somewhere. Wherever it will do the most good.
Meeting Tom North's troubled glance, he grinned broadly. "Told you we'd have Johnson on our necks," he remarked, jerking his thumb up river toward a rapidly approaching figure. This soon defined itself as a tall, sun-reddened, very blond individual with a choleric blue eye. "What in hell's the matter here?" he yelled, as soon as he came within hearing distance.
And there was the permanent stamp of uncertain temper in the lines about his prominent eyes. "So, you see me, Bayliss," Don Cazar returned evenly. "There is some trouble?" Bartolomé shifted from one foot to the other, his spurs ringing. Don Lorenzo’s expression was one of withdrawal, but on the round countenance of the Mexican was open dislike. The sun-reddened skin flushed darker.
"I vork und vork mine head off keeping you fellers filled oop tree times a day alreatty; I not vork und vork to feed you effery hour, py cosh. You go mitout till supper iss reaty for you yet." Big Medicine, his frog-like eyes standing out from his sun-reddened face, stared agape. "Well, by cripes!"
Tennison wrote to me, and that evening I went over to see her after leaving the office in Westminster. It was a hot dry night when London lay beneath its haze of sun-reddened dust after a heat spell, parched and choked.
Along Adderley Street, before the steamship companies' offices, loafed a thick string of sun-reddened, unshaven, flannel-shirted, corduroy-trousered British working-men. Inside the offices they thronged the counters six deep. Down to the docks they filed steadily with bundles to be penned in the black hulls of homeward liners. Their words were few and sullen.
