"And who knows, perhaps the bee will die for it " Czipra departed with a cheery face as she said that. At the door she turned back once more: "The cards told me all that last night. Till midnight I kept cutting them. But the murderer always threatens you albeit the green-robed girl always defends you. See, I am so mad but there is nothing else in which I can believe."
For the wall before him parted like a film, and through it stepped, smiling benignantly, the green-robed figure of Fakrash-el-Aamash, the Jinnee. Ventimore had so thoroughly convinced himself that the released Jinnee was purely a creature of his own imagination, that he rubbed his eyes with a start, hoping that they had deceived him.
By nightfall I had finished and checked the copy which with the original I hid in my robe when the green-robed waiting maid summoned me to eat. At our meal my uncle asked me what I had seen that day and I replied naught but figures and crabbed writing and handed him the parchments which he compared item by item.
We, too, on this very morning listen reader! may wreath "a flowery band to bind us to the Earth, spite of despondence." Some "shape of beauty may yet move away the pall from our dark spirits."

So far as I could see, there was no danger from raptorial foes at hand, but the little family seemed to be in training against the approach of a marauder. It may be a far cry, but from green-robed spring fancy yourself suddenly flung into the lap of snow-bound winter, to look upon scenes quite different from the foregoing.
Each time her impassioned lips kissed him, a fresh gush of blood spurted from that faithful heart, which had always been filled with thoughts of him only, which had beat only for him, which had, to save him, received the murderer's knife: the poor "green-robed" faithful girl. And as she pressed her last kiss upon the lips of her darling, ... she knew already what was the meaning of eternity....
From the midst of his skin-clad and green-robed guards and nobles, young Clovis in a dress of "crimson and gold, and milk-white silk," and with his yellow hair coiled in a great top-knot on his uncovered head advanced to meet his bride. "My lord king," said Clotilda, "the bands of the king of Burgundy follow hard upon us to bear me off.
