"Spring advanced rapidly; the weather became fine and the skies cloudless. It surprised me that what before was desert and gloomy should now bloom with the most beautiful flowers and verdure. My senses were gratified and refreshed by a thousand scents of delight and a thousand sights of beauty.
We had a great old fight here two days ago, and suffered another crushing victory; but though I saw it all, I daresay you know more about the whole thing by this time than I do. This is Modder River, deep and still, just beneath my feet. It is a lovely, cloudless morning, and going to be a very hot day.
Perhaps it did rain some years, but, as I remember, County Fair time seems to have had a sky perfectly cloudless, with its blue only a little dulled around the edges where it came close to the ground and the dust settled on it. Things far off were sort of hazy, but that might have been the result of the bonfires of leaves we had been having evenings after supper.
A deep groan burst from the vast chest of Wacousta; but, for a moment, he answered not. At length he observed, pointing at the same time with his finger towards the cloudless vault above their heads, "Do you behold yon blue sky, Clara de Haldimar?" "I do; what mean you?" demanded the trembling girl, in whom a momentary hope had been excited by the subdued manner of the savage.
The weather was again calm and cloudless, the sky presenting a peculiar clearness as though it had been swept clean by the cyclone, an exceeding transparency bringing out the minutest details of the far distance till then unseen; as if the terrible blast had blown away every vestige of the floating mists and left behind it nothing but void and boundless space.

Hence he is extremely unwilling to put himself in a position where he might fail to obtain the honour which he considers due to him.
He felt a sinking and sickness of the heart, and alternately a feverish frenzy, neither of which his short and cloudless existence had heretofore occasioned him to experience. He was jealous of, he knew not whom, and he knew not what. He was ungenerous enough to believe that Ellen his pure and lovely Ellen had degraded herself; though from what motive, or by whose agency, he could not conjecture.
From such glittering but unsatisfying generalities as these I prefer to turn to the real interview, gathered from contemporary witnesses. It was the usual cloudless, dazzling, Californian summer day, tempered with the asperity of the northwest trades that Miss Tish, looking through her window towards the rose-embowered gateway of the seminary, saw an extraordinary figure advancing up the avenue.
The sun was setting in a cloudless brazier of red light; a golden dust pervaded all the landscape. Presley read his poem aloud. When he had finished, his friend looked at him. "What have you been doing lately?" he demanded. Presley, wondering, told of his various comings and goings. "I don't mean that," returned the other. "Something has happened to you, something has aroused you.
