Ronny left us at the inn and made his way homewards, and I would be hearing his cheery cries to the folk he passed, for he would be everybody's fair-headed laddie, and maybe Mirren Stuart would be feeling surer of her man when he would be sitting at home with his old mother, for it seemed to me that the lassies that would be passing had very bright eyes, and that they would be looking back often too.
And on Whit-Tuesday, as the King sat at the banquet, lo! there entered a tall, fair-headed youth, clad in a coat and a surcoat of diapered satin, and a golden-hilted sword about his neck, and low shoes of leather upon his feet. And he came, and stood before Arthur. "Hail to thee, Lord!" said he. "Heaven prosper thee," he answered, "and be thou welcome. Dost thou bring any new tidings?"
These were men who came silently in, not cigarette-stunted youths. Two of them were in evening dress; three or four had the appearance of prize-fighters. In their countenances was one expression common to all an air of quiet and conscious strength. A fair-headed man, in a dinner jacket and black tie, became at once their spokesman.
And there was no other arrangement respecting the churches than that which we have here mentioned.

She was seated upon the small couch which we have mentioned, evidently brought down as a relief to her, in her declining state. On the deal table in the centre of the room sat the other person, a stout, fair-headed, florid youth of nineteen or twenty years old.

When it drew up, the driver, a burly-looking, fair-headed Finn in a huge sheepskin overcoat, motioned me to enter, urging in broken Russian "Quickly, Excellency! quickly! you must not be seen!" And then the instant I was seated, and before I could close the door, the horses plunged forward and we were tearing at full gallop out of the town.
With a frown the fair-headed muzhik eyed him, while the foreman returned the muzhik's gaze with a scrutiny that never wavered. Finally the elder man commented with cold severity: "All the mischief has come of vodka and tobacco, the devil's drugs."
The fair-headed muzhik blew the ashes from his cigarette, and observed: "No such thing is there at cards as luck only skill." At this juncture we saw approaching us softly from across the rivulet a young carpenter who wore a moustache. He halted beside us, and drew a deep breath. "Well, mate?" the fair-headed muzhik inquired. "Would you mind giving me something to smoke?" the carpenter asked.
"What about the last song, though?" said the Emperor, a tallish, fair-headed boy with a ghost of a mustache, at which he pulled manfully. "We need a rousing old tune." "'John Peel'? 'Drink, Puppy, Drink'?" suggested Abanazar, smoothing his baggy lilac pajamas.
