"Well, the face I saw at the window looked like that of an East Indian!" declared Will. "His skin was brassy, and his eyes had the devil's leer in them just as the eyes of the Little Brass God are said to have." "Well," Tommy declared with a yawn, "I'm going back to bed!" "That's what I'm going to do," Will agreed.
A haze lay over the further reaches of the river, and the sky had a brassy look unlike the intense turquoise clarity of the Egyptian sky. The palm fronds seemed metallic. As far as the eye could see along the right bank lay a confused mass of low white buildings, tents, huts of yellow matting and piles of stores.
"If you remember," the brassy voice went on, "I doubted the wisdom of taking him with us on this cruise. You didn't agree with me, and, at your express request, I gave way. I did wrong. Launcelot Linzie is a very presuming young man." Sir Joseph's answer was accompanied by Sir Joseph's mellow laugh. "My dear Richard! Surely you are a little hard on Launce?"
Jake plucked up some courage from the relaxation in the savage grimness of his captors, which seemed implied by this rough pleasantry, and with him such recuperation of spirits naturally took the form of brassy self-assertion.
And Tom for long intervals goes walking up and down, up and down, by the camp under the brassy sky or the gloaming under the brilliant star-clusters that hang over the desert plain, but never raising his eyes to them; kicking a tuft of grass or a hole in the sand now and then, and seeming to watch the progress of the track he is tramping out.
And, if it comes to that, how about Dora Thingummy? You had enough to say about her last winter." Dick reddened. "We were on good terms. Nothing more. She always sliced with her brassy. So did I. It formed a sort of bond." There was a pause. "After all," resumed Dick, "I don't see the point of all this. Why rake up the past? You aren't writing my life." "You started raking."
Waters was frankly aghast; this, upon the top of his other troubles, was overwhelming. The istvostchik ruptured the moment with a brassy yell. "Wow!" he howled. "My Amerikanetz, the Foreigner, the jail-bird! Look at him, brothers!" He waved his whip as though the darkness were thronged with auditors. "Look at the jail-bird!" From the gate below the dull lamp a dvornik poked his head forth.
His lordship's gaze being a little slow in returning from the middle distance for it was not a matter to be decided carelessly and without thought, this problem of carrying the length of Shaftesbury Avenue with a single brassy shot he repeated the gossip from the home. Lord Dawlish regarded him thoughtfully. 'It could be done, he said, 'but you'd want a bit of pull on it.
I hate boldness that boldness which is of the brassy brow and insensate nerves; but I love the courage of the strong heart, the fervour of the generous blood; I loved with passion the light of Frances Evans' clear hazel eye when it did not fear to look straight into mine; I loved the tones with which she uttered the words "Mon maitre! mon maitre!"
Gosh, I hope they're the kind you like." They spent half an hour at the flat, with Hugh. She was flustered, but he gave no sign of kissing her again. As he moved about the small rooms she realized that he had had his new tan shoes polished to a brassy luster. There was a recent cut on his chin. He must have shaved on the train just before coming into Washington.
