He'll be sitting up day after to-morrow and telling you all about it." She stood before him, with those pretty, slender, white hands loosely clasped, the clear, truthful, beautiful eyes looking straight into his sun-tanned, yet pallid face. No man in his time at the Point had ever known Harris to flinch at the truth or dodge an issue.
Flavilla turned on her camp-stool and inspected them both. "Not quite as well," she said frankly. "You know, Drusilla, you are very nearly in love with him." And she resumed her sketching. Drusilla gazed at the purple horizon unembarrassed. "Am I?" she said absently. "Are you?" he repeated, close to her shoulder. She turned and looked into his sun-tanned face curiously.

Already Nayland Smith was bending over the intrepid explorer, whose fierce blue eyes glared out from the sun-tanned face madly, whose gray hair and mustache literally bristled with rage long repressed. I choked down the emotions that boiled and seethed within me, and sought to release the second captive, a stockily-built, clean-shaven man.
I looked at them. They were much more sun-tanned than her face. The little rosy nails were shaped like filbert nuts. 'Why were you not quite afraid of me? I asked.

SHE had been like that; a dainty, pretty, loving, simple, naive, sturdy, rugged little thing, with wind-blown hair, and sun-tanned cheeks and legs soft, gentle, infinitely appealing, generous, loving.
We went about in our shirts and drill "slacks," and the scorching boards of the deck blistered our naked feet. In a few days we became sun-tanned. Each one of us had a sunburnt V-shaped triangle on the chest where we left our shirts open. The voyage was uneventful. The food was poor. There was very little fresh water to drink. It was July.

Taurus Antinor had listened quite patiently to Menecreta's tale. His sun-tanned face clearly showed how hard he was trying to gather up the tangled threads of her scrappy narrative. Nor did the lictors this time try to interfere with the woman. The praefect apparently was in no easy temper to-day, and when ill-humour seized him rods and flails were kept busy.
