She moves softly, as if she loved everything she touched; making you throb to feel the little ball of her foot. Her eyes look steadily, like green jewels before the veil of an Egyptian temple. Positively, her eyes have grown green or greenish! They were darkish hazel formerly, and talked more of milkmaids and chattering pastorals than a discerning master would have wished.
She was now, he knew, on the edge of a great plateau, in summer covered with the greenish silver of sagebrush, now an unbroken, glittering expanse. He stood still to get his breath and listen to the very light crunch of her steps.
And you may be sure, if a father's advice and good offices are of any avail, this little quarrel will be all patched up between you two. Surely will be! I can almost positively promise you that!" "Promise it?" asked Waldron, leaning eagerly forward, a strange light in those close-set, greenish eyes. Flint nodded. "Yes," he answered.
Suddenly the "Very" lights went up from the German side, literally in hundreds, illuminating the top of the ridge and the sky behind with a thin greenish white flare. Then came a deep rumble that shook the ground, and a dull boom. A spurt of blood-red flame squirted up from the near side of the hill, and a rolling column of gray smoke.
To Desnoyers, they seemed like sunken basins for the use of the invisible Titans who had been hewing the forest. Their great depth extended to their very edges. A swimmer might dive into these lagoons without ever touching bottom. Their water was greenish, still water rain water with a scum of vegetation perforated by the respiratory bubbles of the little organisms coming to life in its vitals.
"Bergy Bits". Pieces, about the size of a cottage, of glacier-ice or of hummocky pack washed clear of snow. "Growlers". Still smaller pieces of sea-ice than the above, greenish in colour, and barely showing above water-level. "Crack". Any sort of fracture or rift in the sea-ice covering. "Lead" or "Lane". Where a crack opens out to such a width as to be navigable.
The body was of a swollen appearance. The flesh was of a greenish colour, with dark spots in several places. The skin was raised in blisters of different sizes and in places had come off in large pieces. The hair was chestnut; it was thick, and separated easily from the skin when touched. The eye-balls protruded from their sockets and the cornea had grown dim.
A skinny trembling hand was offering him a greenish newspaper. "Terrible cold wind for the time o' year!" A very aged man in black-rimmed spectacles, with a distended nose and long upper lip and chin, was tentatively fumbling out change for sixpence. "I seem to know your face," said Hilary. "Oh dear, yes. You deals with this 'ere shop the tobacco department.
Meantime, in the ooze which forms a connecting link between sea and shore lurks the mud-laff, indescribably hideous in shape, leprous-looking, slimy, and darting a greenish poison through the spines on its back. Treading on one of these, the poor naked fisherman is apt to die of lockjaw; and Mr. Pike's kitten, having its paw touched with a single spine, perished of convulsions in an hour.
A truly royal bouquet stands on my table three spikes of yucca flowers in a tall vase, the middle one three feet high, bearing fifty blossoms and buds, of large size and a pink color; on its right, one a little less in size, with long creamy cups fully open; and on the left another, set with round greenish balls, not so open as cups.
