And of course only these finishing touches would be expected of her: subordinate fingers, blunt, grey, needle-pricked fingers, would prepare the shapes and stitch the linings, while she presided over the charming little front shop a shop all white panels, mirrors, and moss-green hangings where her finished creations, hats, wreaths, aigrettes and the rest, perched on their stands like birds just poising for flight.
He'd won her heart, but still she fled, And laugh'd and mock'd from dell and peak While his sad heart, that inward bled, Was fit to break! Where the bright waters lead adown The moss-green rocks and flags among, He paused and on his brow a frown Darkly hung! A shriek came down the peaceful vale, Full soon the maid was at his side, Her ringlets flowing, and cheeks all pale, A willing bride!
Deacon, obtained a cigarette, and passed back along the passage to a small, cosy, panelled room at the end of the house the room wherein he wrote those mystery stories which held the world enthralled. It was a pretty, restful place, with a moss-green carpet, green-covered chairs, several cases filled to overflowing with books, and a great writing-table set in the window.
It was very beautiful, with glistening white and gold decorations, a thick moss-green velvet carpet and tall palms round the walls.

Your thronged courts, the revelry, the tumult, That spoke the grandeur of my house, the homage Of neighbouring barons? Mysterious Mother. In two of these rooms, close beside each other, he saw signs of recent habitation.
In fact, in crossing the Trent one seems to step back into old times; and in the villages of Sherwood Forest we are in a black-letter region.

As his large nervous feet reached for the chairlegs below, one could see an expanse of moss-green stockings, only half concealed at the extremities by resplendent yellow sandals. Bearded and moustached after the military fashion, nothing betrayed the professor except the myopic droop of the head. As for Fraülein Linda Göritz, no mere man may adequately describe her.
