I was counting the jewels in the Pearly Gates when your task force came along.

It threw wide open the pearly gates of a new and fairer life.

How closely he will listen for any squeaking of the Pearly Gates, with a nostrum ready for their dry complaint!

It is as if the pearly gates had been opened for a brief interval to let the earth hear the “quiring of the young-eyed cherubims.”
