Here and there among the undergrowth were patches of soft, pea-green moss, of a velvety texture, that no cunning of the loom can equal. There is a smart, business-like aspect to everything in Yokohama; the impression upon the stranger is that he is in a wide-awake community.
When Kelson courteously informed her he was in possession of her secret a secret she had felt positively certain only one other person knew, she went the colour of her pea-green sunshade and attempted to remonstrate.
Caingey was not a pretty boy at the best of times none but the most partial parents could think him one and his clumsy-featured, short, compressed face, and thick, lumpy figure, were anything but improved by a sort of pea-green net-work of water-weeds with which he arose from his bath.
Then she tried another pair, and several others, as well; but hours passed before she finally succeeded in getting her hands covered with a pair of pea-green kids. Next she selected a parasol from a large and varied assortment in the rear of the store. Not that she had any idea what it was used for; but other ladies carried such things, so she also would have one.
"Yes! a black snake wouldn't harm you, even if he did bite." Pem was still reassuring her friend. "Did you hear him whistle?... But but what's that?" It was just half a minute later that she put the question. "He isn't making that noise with his tail still; is he?" She looked at Stud. Under the ruby eye of the lamp his face the face of a Stoutheart had turned suddenly pea-green.
It is painted pea-green, and has a rough verandah running partly round it a high verandah with no steps, or if any, at such long intervals that you must search for them.

The plant is exquisitely beautiful, for the whole thing, from the stem to the flower petals, is of a delicate, light pea-green. The blossom opens like a star, with four stamens and four petals. The description sounds mathematical, but the plant is graceful a veritable symphony in green.
Liston, the famous comedian, was at this time a member of the Durham company, and though he began his career there by reciting Collins's "Ode to the Passions," attired in a pea-green coat, buckskins, top-boots, and powder, with a scroll in his hand, and followed up this essay of his powers with the tragic actor's battle-horse, the part of Hamlet, he soon found his peculiar gift to lie in the diametrically opposite direction of broad farce.
Over the mantel-piece is a full-length portrait of Queen Anne, in a rich brocade dress, wearing the collar and jewels of the garter, bearing in one hand a scepter, and in the other a globe. There are two splendid buhl cabinets in the room, and a table of costly stone from Italy; it is mounted on a richly carved and gilt stand. The boudoir, which adjoins, is hung with pea-green satin and velvet.
A wild cheer woke from the people. "The Bolsheviks' Republic is overthrown. The Bolsheviks are aristocrats. Let them die." "Thank Heaven for this costume!" I heard Count Boobenstein murmur at my side. Then he seized his pea-green hat and waved it in the air, shouting: "Down with the Bolsheviks!" All about us the cry was taken up.
