[The Sky Pilot by Ralph Connor]@TWC D-Link bookThe Sky Pilot CHAPTER IX 13/14
Red it was, in spite of Hi's denial, but of such marvellous, indescribable shade that in certain lights, as she rode over the prairie, it streamed behind her like a purple banner. A most confusing and bewildering color, but quite in keeping with the nature of the owner. She gave her pinto to Joe and, standing at the door, welcomed me with a dignity and graciousness that made me think that The Duke was not far wrong when he named her "Princess." The door opened upon the main or living room.
It was a long, apartment, with low ceiling and walls of hewn logs chinked and plastered and all beautifully whitewashed and clean.
The tables, chairs and benches were all home-made.
On the floor were magnificent skins of wolf, bear, musk ox and mountain goat.
The walls were decorated with heads and horns of deer and mountain sheep, eagles' wings and a beautiful breast of a loon, which Gwen had shot and of which she was very proud.
