The fatal grill was heavier than I had hoped. I found myself seated to the left of M M , and totally unable to see her.
It was late in June, yet the air was soft and balmy, and the sunshine behaved so nicely that Tavia, looking out of her window actually found dew on the honeysuckle, and saw there was no need to close blinds at even ten o'clock which was late for dew certainly, and late for a girl like Tavia Travers to get her first romp out of doors. Dorothy looked in mischievously.
Yet these could neither subdue the balmy effect of her maternal affection towards himself nor wholly check the emotion which the unusual mentioning of Miss Beaufort's name had caused his heart to throb. He read the sentence which contained the assurance of her esteem a third time.

And then, perhaps, the terrible, soft, balmy flood-wind persisting, there comes suddenly the catastrophe; the embankment, shaken by the resistless current, cracks, fissures gives way; and the river rushes into the city, as it has already rushed into the fields, to spread in constantly rising, melancholy livid pools, throughout the streets and squares.
"You are an angel if there ever was one." The two walked into the garden at the side of the house, where the air was cool and balmy. "I saw your son last night, Mrs. Bordine." "What! Saw August?"

Here Madame Delphine and Olive loved to sit when the twilights were balmy or the moon was bright. "Chérie," said Madame Delphine on one of those evenings, "why do you dream so much?" She spoke in the patois most natural to her, and which her daughter had easily learned.
