Around his thin neck, where the veins stood out, was tied a green woollen scarf tucked into his jacket, his fur jacket, or polushubok, was worn bare, short, and had dog-fur sewed on the collar and on the false pockets. The trousers were checkered, of ash-gray color, and his sapogi had short, unblacked military bootlegs.
When they were descending toward the forest of the "neck" they saw tracks which, he declared, came not from shoes of his make. The explanation came soon. Attracted probably by the many voices they heard, another body of men joined them. It was the dyer ash-gray in the face from fright descending at the head of his workmen, apprentices, and several men of Millsdorf.
The yellow velvet garments, with ash-gray facings, and cap of the same material in the same colours, were very becoming to these youths the Emperor's pages and, though the first two were sons of German and Italian counts, and the third who followed them was a Holland baron, the sentinels took little more notice of them than of Queen Mary's pointers following swiftly at their heels.

To police this area meant upholding the law in a country fourteen times the size of the state of Ohio. And Kedsty was the man who had performed this duty as only one other man had ever succeeded in doing it. Yet Kedsty, of the five about Kent, was most disturbed. His face was ash-gray. A number of times Kent had detected a broken note in his voice.
And Margrave then, leaning his arm upon her shoulder, as he had leaned it on mine, drew her away from the group into a neighbouring copse of the flowering eucalypti, mystic trees, never changing the hues of their pale-green leaves, ever shifting the tints of their ash-gray, shedding bark.
