All at once he burst out on to a broad, green mesa, and there, before his delighted eyes was a great herd of snowy-white sheep grazing contentedly.
She had discarded the terrifying perruque, and her own hair, snowy-white, was puffed and curled about the little face, which was finely powdered and slightly rouged. She was a dream of beautiful old age, with Dekko just visible under a huge pink bow upon her shoulder. "May I present a very old woman to youth?" she said simply.
The view was beautiful, but the atmosphere too hazy: to the north were ranges of low wooded hills, and the course of the Barakah and Adji rivers; to the south lay a flatter country, with lower ranges, and the Damooda river, its all but waterless bed snowy-white from the exposed granite blocks with which its course is strewn.
What she really loved to do was to wander among the bloodwoods with Tom, of course with next to nothing on, the next to nothing being the drawers. There, you have them. Then you saw her at her best or rather worst, for she was a thin sapling of a girl, of a dull coppery colour, and the garment was not always snowy-white. Hers, after all, was an ideal existence.
John Paul was kneeling upon the flags by the ingleside, his face buried on the open Bible in his mother's lap. Her snowy-white head was bent upon his, her tears running fast, and her lips moving in silent prayer to Him who giveth and taketh away.

It did not seem possible that this frail old woman with the snowy-white hair and sunken cheeks could ever have been a rosy child like herself.

Her voice was musical and low, and there was a great deal of calm dignity and of many sufferings nobly endured marked in the handsome, aristocratic face, with its wealth of snowy-white hair dressed high above the forehead, after the fashion of the times. "I hope my friend, Sir Andrew Ffoulkes, proved an entertaining travelling companion, madame?" "Ah, indeed, Sir Andrew was kindness itself.

"No skill hath she in household work, Her hands are soft and white, Yet well by loving looks and ways She doth her cost requite." So up they walked through Boston town, And met a maiden fair, A little basket on her arm So snowy-white and bare.
I loved you all the while, but I sold myself for gold, and it turned your brown locks snowy-white, poor darling!" and her hands moved up and down the folds of her cashmere robe, as if it were the brown locks they were smoothing just as they used to do.
