Silvia gave him the salad, and poured wine and water into the tumbler for him, while his mother went to the kitchen for a dish of fricasseed pigeons. "There's no onion in the salad," Matteo grumbled when she came back. Silvia uttered an exclamation of dismay, ran for a silvery-white little onion and sliced it thinly into the salad. "Forgive me, Matteo," she said.
The pilot was fumbling at a belt about the curious tunic he wore. Tommy watched him warily. But a pad of what seemed to be black metal came out, with a silvery-white stylus attached to it. The pilot sat down the instant they stopped and began to draw in white lines on the black surface.
This question so struck her to the heart that she could not reply. 'We have no cow, Matte answered; 'but we have good smoked herring, and can cook them in a couple of hours. 'All right, then, that will do, said the students, as they flung themselves down on the rock, while fifty silvery-white herring were turning on the spit in front of the fire.
Dan sluiced the pen energetically, unshipped the table, set it up to dry in the moonlight, ran the red knife-blades through a wad of oakum, and began to sharpen them on a tiny grindstone, as Harvey threw offal and backbones overboard under his direction. At the first splash a silvery-white ghost rose bolt upright from the oily water and sighed a weird whistling sigh.

A silvery-white head was bending over a page, and some words in Latin came like a stream, with a very beautiful pronunciation, from the scholar's lips. "Ah, Verena!" he said, "I think I have got the right lines now. Shall I read them to you?" Mr. Dale began. He got through about one line when Patty interrupted him: "It can't possibly be done, Paddy.
