The cloudless days are calm, pearl-gray, and brooding in tone, inclining to rest and peace; the islands seem to drowse and float on the glassy water, and in the woods scarce a leaf stirs. The very brightest of Wrangell days are not what Californians would call bright.
Willie Woodley kept looking at the ceilings and tapping the walls with the knuckle of a pearl-gray glove; and Mrs. Westgate, asking at frequent intervals to be allowed to sit down and wait till they came back, was as frequently informed that they would never come back.
Here he found an atmosphere more favourable to his plan of education. There were a good many people who really fished, and short expeditions in the woods were quite fashionable. Cornelia had a camping-costume of the most approved style made by Dewlap on Fifth Avenue, pearl-gray with linings of rose-silk, and consented to go with her husband on a trip up Moose River.
Before he had finished speaking the city was destroyed by a general conflagration; the round red sun rose slowly above the pearl-gray ruins, and it was morning. In his three years' residence at Rivermouth, Edward Lynde had never chanced to see the town at so early an hour.
When the solemn rite was ended, I made my way to Constance, so fair that day in her pearl-gray robes and simple white bonnet, and clasped her hand. She stooped down and kissed me many times, to conceal her tears, probably. "Call me mamma now, dearest," she said, at last; "and let the name be as a new compact between us.

Then, with white stockings and shoes and gloves or perhaps pearl-gray would be better. Yes, with low-cut suede shoes, fastening with two big smoked-pearl buttons." She looked down with pitying eyes at Sylvia's sturdy, heavy-soled shoes which could not conceal the slender, shapely feet within them "but, what on earth was the child saying?
I've owned 'em." "Thank you, but I can't afford such luxuries as betting." "You can't afford not to have something down on this if it's only a shoestring. No? Oh well!" Again drawing the art-square from his pocket he lifted his pearl-gray derby and dabbed despairingly at his brow.
Off to the right rose the hills of the Jebel, the pearl-gray veil resting upon them changing momentarily into a purple which the sun would make matchless a little later. Over their highest peaks a vulture sailed on broad wings into widening circles. But of all these things the tenant under the green tent saw nothing, or, at least, made no sign of recognition. His eyes were fixed and dreamy.
They followed it south and brushing through a farther rim of tropical vegetation came out on a pearl-gray virgin beach where Ardita kicked of her brown golf shoes she seemed to have permanently abandoned stockings and went wading. Then they sauntered back to the yacht, where the indefatigable Babe had luncheon ready for them.
