The leaves are large, and silky on the undersides, while the flowers are crimson and white, and equally as large as those of the better-known M. grandiflora. Yulan. China, 1789. A large-growing shrub, with Pea-green, deciduous foliage, and large, pure white flowers that oft get damaged by the spring frosts. M. conspicua Soulangeana is a supposed hybrid between M. conspicua and M. obovata.
The Shaggy Man had a room of his own in the royal palace, so there he went to change his shaggy suit of clothes for another just as shaggy but not so dusty from travel. He selected a costume of pea-green and pink satin and velvet, with embroidered shags on all the edges and iridescent pearls for ornaments.
The shadows in the pencil drawings had an agreeably brilliant polish, like that which, when conferred on fenders by Somebody's Patent Dome-Blacklead, "increases the attractions of the fireside," according to the advertisements. Maitland knew all the blacklead caves, broad-hatted brigands, and pea-green trees. They were old acquaintances, and as he fidgeted about the room he became very impatient.
A considerable space around the boles of some of these trees was completely covered by an elegant species of creeping plant with fine cut foliage of a delicate pea-green, and large clusters of scarlet blossoms, about which, swarms of brilliantly-coloured insects, of the butterfly tribe, were hovering.
Yes, we will have that, and be most elegant for the Sunday promenade. I fear I should have bought a pea-green hat with a yellow plume if he had urged it, so wheedlesome and droll were his ways and words. His good taste saved me, however, and the modest one was sent home for the morrow, when we were to meet Joseph and Napoleon and go to the concert in the Tuileries garden.
The huge sound that exploded from his throat was something between the bellow of an alligator and the coughing roar of a tiger, but of infinitely vaster volume. The next moment, as if in deliberate reply to the challenge, an immense black beast stepped from behind a thicket of pea-green bamboo, and stood scrutinizing him with wicked little pig-like eyes.
In the luminous atmosphere the men of those days showed bright and gay. Such fine scarlet and gold waistcoats such sky-blue and silver such pea-green lutestrings and pink silk linings and flashing buckles and courtly wigs or becoming powder went pleasantly with the brilliant costume of the stately dames and smiling lasses.
"Maddalena," Maurice said to the girl, in a low voice, "can you guess what I am thinking about?" She shook her head. "No, signore." "You see the mountain!" He pointed to the end of the little street. "Si, signore." "I am thinking that I should like to go there now with you." "Ma, signorino the fiera!" Her voice sounded plaintive with surprise and she glanced at her pea-green skirt.
It is broad daylight now and the fingers have gone. I can write again perhaps. The pen The paper The ink God. Hortense! There is no ink left! And my heart My heart Hortense!!! Descendez a l'ombre, Ma Jolie blonde. Monsieur, Madame and the Pea-Green Parrot I am an Englishman by birth. Having however lived for fourteen years out in America or rather in Canada, I am only half an Englishman.
Glumford found the muscular form of the stern Wolfe consigned to the sole care of himself and a very diminutive man in pea-green silk stockings, who, however excellently well he might perform the office of valet, was certainly by no means calculated in physical powers for the detention of a criminal. Wolfe saved the pair a world of trouble and anxiety.
