Oh, Toveine, a short, coppery-skinned Red, was scowling at Logain, but Gabrelle, a dusky Brown with sooty green eyes, was talking with him quite companionabiy, perhaps even coquettishly.

Among the rich and famous who had come to the salon to have their hair cut, tinted and set, Paula recognised Dusty Springfield, the pop singer, her eyes big and sooty, her lips pearly pink, and was unable to suppress the thrill of excitement which ran through her.

Her lashes were thick and sooty, bright eyes captivating him with a sideways glance.

A fluke of the wind had blown the hair off her face, and when she smiled like that, sooty eyes or not, the end of Deirdre and the Hebridean dream didn't seem to be of so much account after all.

Onjin stared at the two men for a moment, then her sooty eyes locked with those of her mistress.

The sooty eyes, the olive skin, the coarse black mop of the moustache gave little clue as to his origins.

Instantly, the girl's head lifted and her eyes, great dark sooty eyes, opened wide.

Toveine blinked in surprise, then met Gabrelle's sooty green eyes with a flat stare, making no effort to hide her disgust.
