A description of a lady's dress in literature.
Sybert did not choose to prolong these amenities of welcome
any further, and he stood quietly watching her while
she buttoned her gloves. She looked very radiant to-night,
with the candle-light gleaming on her hair and her hazel
eyes shining with excitement. Her gown was the filmiest,
shimmering white with an undertone of green. About her
189
neck the pearls gleamed whitely, each separate jewel a
pulsing globe of light. Marcia glanced up and touched the
necklace with her hand.
The Wheat Princess ~ Jean Webster
