A big canvas stood on the easel, a stool in front of it. The table was in the middle of the room, a yellow embroidered cloth on it. There was food on the cloth little breads, pretty cakes and strawberries and cherries, and wine in tall, beautiful, topaz-coloured glasses. Vernon sat in his big chair. Betty could see his profile.

The daintiness of the little glove brought home to Bough more forcibly than anything else, that the Kid had become a lady. For it was the girl, sure. No error about that little white face of hers, with the pointed chin, and the topaz-coloured eyes, and the reddish hair. The glass had brought her near enough to make that quite certain.

"I s'pose you are tired because you always have to pull your leg after you," said Denis, turning upon me two large topaz-coloured eyes. "Does it hurt you, Mr. Lyndsay?" "Mother told you not to talk about Mr. Lyndsay's leg," observed Harold sharply. "No, she didn't; she said I was not to talk about the funny way he walked. She said " "Well, never mind, little man," I interrupted.
