Vitus's dance. He wore a full suit of plain brown clothes, with twisted hair-buttons of the same colour, a large bushy greyish wig, a plain shirt, black worsted stockings, and silver buckles.
Karlsefne was full of business all this time, with parties out exploring the country, and so did not see what was going on in and about the camp. Then, one day, news was brought him that a whale had come into the creek and was stranded in shoal water. The men, short as they were of food, were eager to get at it. Karlsefne went out to see it a huge beast, greyish and arched in the back.
But the most striking point about him was his eyes; they were of a light or greyish blue, transparent, and shining like precious stones. From the day that they first interchanged words, the priest said some short prayers from time to time with Agellius—the Lord’s Prayer, and portions of the Psalms.
Yet she'd be glad to see the last of me that I know." Honora was an unconscious lover of Nature. She turned and beheld the sun slowly sinking. "Ah! it must be nearly six o'clock," she thought.

All constraint had vanished between the two, and they began to talk easily and simply.
And presently he reappeared, with a nod to the Assistant Commissioner, who passing through the same door left open for him, found himself with the great personage in a large room. Vast in bulk and stature, with a long white face, which, broadened at the base by a big double chin, appeared egg-shaped in the fringe of thin greyish whisker, the great personage seemed an expanding man.
That beautiful pink complexion that I had admired so much, and even envied, had disappeared altogether. Her face was of a greyish hue, and possessed no shade of pink. Those beautiful pencilled eyebrows seemed to have strangely altered, and to have unaccountably thinned down.
