It could be beautiful, though, with Mallard drake skins for the back and sprig for the front with two longitudinal stripes of teal.
А как бы это было красиво: перья дикого селезня пошли бы на спину, серой утки — на грудь, с двумя полосами из перьев чирка сверху вниз.

To-morrow it may be what? - a branch of rue - a sprig of bays, perhaps - anything, so it be my best and my all.

When I see a goodly sized woman, I have visions of her mopping up that last drop of cream sauce with bread, wolfing down that final sprig of watercress garnish from her plate.
При виде толстой женщины я сразу представляю, как она с хрустом дожевывает листики кресс-салата в остатках гарнира и подбирает кусочком хлеба остатки сметанного соуса на тарелке - так, словно ее сто лет не кормили.

If you lifted the aisle carpets, you'd find the lost pharaohs buried with fresh loaves of bread and bright sprigs of onions; food for far-traveling up-river to Eternity.
Убери из прохода ковровые дорожки и обнаружишь потерянных фараонов, а рядом свежие караваи хлеба и яркие перья лука — провиант для долгого пути вверх по реке к Вечности.

Around the back of the warehouse, the grass and brush faded into a thick black dirt from which sprigs of grass shot upward intermittently.
Позади склада трава и низкий кустарник отступали под натиском густой черной грязи, из которой то здесь, то там пучками вырывались травяные побеги.

He usually wears a frock-coat buttoned up to the top, a high cravat, starched collars, and grey sprigged trousers of a military cut; he wears his hat tilted over his forehead, leaving all the back of his head exposed.
Носит он обыкновенно сюртук, застегнутый доверху, высокий галстук с накрахмаленными воротничками и панталоны серые с искрой, военного покроя; шляпу же надевает прямо на лоб, оставляя весь затылок наружи.
