Against the masonry of a platform, under the vaulted arch of the train- house, lay a long string of coaches. They were painted white on the bulging part, which led halfway down from the top, and the bodies were a deep bottle-green.
Looking at the unwieldly old man, with his heavy nose, powdered head, and all the bottle-green, crimson, and gold about him, and the long slim serving man, with sharp beak, and white from head to heel, standing by him, Sir Bale was forcibly reminded of the great old macaw and the long and slender kite, whose colours they, after their fashion, reproduced, with something, also indescribable, of the air and character of the birds.
We went fishing every day. The many-colored and many-shaped fish we caught were a constant wonderment to us. One was bottle-green, with sky-blue fins and tail, and striped with lines of gold. Its skin was stiff and firm as patent leather. Another was pale blue, with a bright-red proboscis two inches long.
To think that the pawnbroker shouldn't have known there was a shilling in it! I knew it! I felt it when I was examining the quality. Oh, what a dull dog of a pawnbroker! It was a lucky suit too, this bottle-green. The very day I put it on first, old Lord Mallowford was burnt to death in his bed, and all the post-obits fell in. I'll be married in the bottle-green. Peg.
I painted for him in words the varying colours of waves in different seas, the black purple of tropical waters, the bottle-green turmoil of a Cornish sea on a choppy day, the brown channel waves near shore, the jewelled smoothness of the Mediterranean in early morning sunshine, its silver in moonrise, melting into white and black.
The Dock of the Steam-Tug, Pancks, had a leaden roof, which, frying in the very hot sunshine, may have heated the vessel. Be that as it may, one glowing Saturday evening, on being hailed by the lumbering bottle-green ship, the Tug instantly came working out of the Dock in a highly heated condition. 'Mr Pancks, was the Patriarchal remark, 'you have been remiss, you have been remiss, sir.
I do not in the least suppose that Calvin saw any beauty in the view through the gap in the rock not in the island below with its poplars and willows whose branches trail in the bottle-green waters of the Charente not in the lush meadows with the yellow flags fluttering by the waterside not in the grey towers of Nersac castle and church rising above dark woods, flushed orange in the setting sun against a purple sky.
The donors and the saints who pass through these bright, stone-framed pictures are all awkward and pensive, dressed in robes of gamboge, bottle-green, prussian-blue, gooseberry-red, pumpkin-purple and wine lees, and these are made still deeper by contact with the flesh tints, either omitted or destroyed, which have at any rate remained uncoloured like a thin skin of glass.
I wish the things weren't going to come to me," he added, kicking a stone in front of him. "I wish he'd measured you, Johnnie." "I'm very glad he didn't," said Johnnie. "I wish he'd kept them himself." "Bottle-green, with brass buttons," murmured Tommy, and therewith fell into a reverie. The next night the suit was finished, and laid by the bread-and-milk.
'But I tell you, good people Casby! This mound of meekness, this lump of love, this bottle-green smiler, this is your driver! said Pancks. 'If you want to see the man who would flay you alive here he is! Don't look for him in me, at thirty shillings a week, but look for him in Casby, at I don't know how much a year! 'Good! cried several voices. 'Hear Mr Pancks! 'Yes, I should think so!
