But the second line had inadequate provision of weapons. Many here bore scythes fastened to staves. As they carried these over their shoulders Ian, looking back, saw them against the palest light like Death in replica. The two lines hung motionless, on stout ground, now within the defense to which Cope had trusted, very close to the latter's sleeping camp.
I found nothing suggestive of pleasure, but in its place another word; and it has always seemed ineffaceable, not graven in that glorious metal that takes the sun's light, but in the palest of all, the cold colors of which seem tinted by the moonlight silver. The first time I saw a mob, it was a depressing morning Ash Wednesday, near Courtille.
No light broke any longer through the blind; just a faint and narrow glimmer stole between it and the casement; and the light that had been bright golden was palest silver now. It was the moon. I had been in dreamless sleep for hours. The joy of that discovery! The transport of waking to it, and waking refreshed! The swift and sudden miracle that it seemed!
A tiny little woman in the row ahead of them turned round and smiled faintly at Henrietta. She had a face like a small doll's, a button of a nose and the palest little china-blue eyes imaginable. Nevertheless, this woman was Mrs. Slicer, president of the Federation of Women's Clubs, and those weak eyes had once stared a Governor of a State out of countenance.
This was when Madame herself, with much pride, brought home an evening dress of the very palest and tenderest sea-green silk, showered with pearls and embroidered in silver, a perfect chef-d'oeuvre of the dressmaker's art.
Vast sweeps of forest, shining waters, mountains near and far, the deepest green and the palest blue, changing colours and glancing lights, and all so silent, so strange, so far away, that it seemed like the landscape of a dream. One almost feared to speak, lest it should vanish. Right below us the Lower Saranac and Lonesome Pond, Round Lake and the Weller Ponds, were spread out like a map.
He sighed and dragged the clothes over himself. "You'd best go to-day, mother. The ride will do you good, and I have plenty to fill my time at home." Mrs. Hicks brightened perceptibly before this prospect. She was a little, faded woman, with a brown face and red-rimmed, weak eyes, washed by many years of sorrow to the palest nondescript colour.
It was lit with soft candles in many sconces; the blinds were down; across the windows were drawn curtains of Liberty silk of the palest, softest shade of rose. On the floor was a carpet of many soft colors cunningly mingled.
Almost as soon as I got there, Viola drove up, punctual to the minute. She knew her own value to men too well to try and enhance it by always being late for an appointment as so many women do. She looked fresh and lovely in palest grey, her rose-tinted face radiant with excitement. "I haven't kept you waiting, have I?" was her first exclamation after our greeting.
This, even as the Earl looked at her, she caught at with a bewitching gesture, and brought down over her shoulder with her gloved hand. A close-fitting robe of palest blue outlined the perfections of her body. A single fleur-de-lys in gold was embroidered on the breast of her white bodice, and the same device appeared again and again on the white housing of her palfrey.
