We prowled through the Holy Land, from Cesarea Philippi to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, a weird procession of pilgrims, gotten up regardless of expense, solemn, gorgeous, green-spectacled, drowsing under blue umbrellas, and astride of a sorrier lot of horses, camels and asses than those that came out of Noah's ark, after eleven months of seasickness and short rations.
The scenery of the Bible is about you the customs of the patriarchs are around you the same people, in the same flowing robes, and in sandals, cross your path the same long trains of stately camels go and come the same impressive religious solemnity and silence rest upon the desert and the mountains that were upon them in the remote ages of antiquity, and behold, intruding upon a scene like this, comes this fantastic mob of green-spectacled Yanks, with their flapping elbows and bobbing umbrellas!

"Oh, if I were only free once more free to have a plunge in that snow-white surf free to have a breezy run along that delightful beach this magnificent morning?" Mrs. Sharpe set down her tray, looked cautiously around her, lowered her voice, fixed her green-spectacled eyes meaningly on Mollie's face, and uttered these remarkable words: "Wait! You may be free before long!"
