Will tried to meet his eyes, failed, and stared gloomily at the white-and-red border of the tablecloth. "I went out for a breath of air," he answered in a muffled voice. "It's been stifling all day." "You've got to get used to it, I reckon," returned the old man with a brutal laugh. "I'll have no idlers and no fancy men about me."
And he was a child, a twelve-year-old boy, a helpless little hunchback mendicant. When he saw the first white-and-red spot upon his flesh he stood still and stared at it, gasping, and the sweat started out upon him and rolled down in great drops. "Jehovah!" he whispered, "God of Israel! Thy servant is but a child!"
In a few minutes the man reported a fixed white light four points off the starboard bow, and a little later a fixed white-and-red flashlight two points off the port bow. "Good," grunted Jenkins. "I know just where I am. Come down from aloft," he called, "and watch out for buoys. I'm going out the South and Hypocrite Channels."
Prasildo took care to hold the shield over his eyes, that he might avoid seeing the fairy Medusa; and in this manner, guarding his approach, he arrived at the Golden Tree.

The king scarcely observed this young man, who was about twenty-five years of age, and who, turning round several times, made friendly signals to a man standing before the gate of a handsome white-and-red house; that is to say, built of brick and stone, with a slated roof, situated on the left hand of the road the prince was traveling.
One card was full of kitchen things, and another was devoted to parlour furniture, while a third displayed a bedroom set. "How perfectly beautiful!" Molly said, as she looked at the little brown dressing-table with white-and-red cover and the red pin-cushion full of pins. "What a dear little rug!" said Julia, pointing to a charming brown skin rug.
The Pinto’s hoofs crashed against the saddle and Shiloh gave ground. With a scream of triumph the wild one’s head snaked out, teeth ready to set on the larger horse’s throat. Hopelessly, Drew shot—it was all he could do. The white-and-red head tossed. Shiloh had wrenched back. The Pinto drove against the gray and crashed down.
