After getting safely away to a secluded spot, he broke the water-melon open only to find that it was green, the greenest water-melon of the year. The moment he saw that the water-melon was green, he felt sorry. He began to reflect for reflection is the beginning of reform. It is only by reflecting on some crime you have committed, that you are "vaccinated" against committing it again.
We moored by a low bank under a great wood of chenar trees, and saw the little table in the wilderness set in the greenest shade with our chairs beside it, and my pipe laid reverently upon it by Kahdra.
She saw that he was looking where the grass in summer was the greenest! He turned and said: "I am going to barracks now. I suppose Young Aleck will be in quarters here on Christmas Day, Miss Mab?" "I think so," and she blushed. "Did he say he would be here?" "Yes." "Exactly." He looked toward the coffee. Then: "Thank you.....Good-bye." "Sergeant?" "Miss Humphrey!"
Night after night the horses having stuffed themselves, like greedy things as they were, with the greenest and tenderest herbage on the rich plains returned to the camp fire round which the trappers were lying in deep slumber, and each selecting his own master, would stand over him with drooping head and go to sleep, until dawn called them again to united action.
It is a toilsome march, but we cross the Tash Pass, camp for the night in a little inter-mountain valley, beside a stream at the foot of a pine-covered mountain. The change from the interior plains is already novel and refreshing. Grass abounds abundance, and the prospect is the greenest I have seen for nine months.
The months of April and May were happy ones. The weather was perfect, as only California weather understands the art of being; the hills were at their greenest; the wind almost forgot to blow; the fields blazed in wild-flowers; day after day rose in cloudless splendor, and day after day the Golden Gate shone like a sapphire in the sun. Polly was inwardly nervous.
Shorty had joined in the scramble, telling Si he would bring him a good supply. "Ain't them nice?" he said to Si, holding out three or four of the greenest ones he could find. "Eat 'em; they're jest gorjus! You can't help likin' 'em." Si had never seen any persimmons before.
It is as yet the only taste of the country that you can enjoy. You love those flowers. After a time you grow strong, and walk in the fields. You linger until nightfall. You pass by the cottage where Madge lives. It is your pleasantest walk. The trees are greenest in that direction; the shadows are softest; the flowers are thickest. It is strange this feeling in you.
For a whole year he tended the flocks, finding the greenest pastures and the freshest water for them, and keeping the wolves away. Admetus was very kind to him, as he was to all his servants, and the food and clothing which he gave him were of the best in the land. But the stranger did not tell his name nor say anything about his kindred or his home.
Boar's Head is a promontory; its level summit of about a dozen acres, sixty feet above the highest tide, clothed in the greenest verdure. It is in the form of a triangle, the cliffs on two sides of which are lashed by the waves of the restless ocean; while toward the main, the land falls away gently to the level of the marshes. The hotel is situate on the crest of this incline.
