In that dim light, the members nervous from long drawn duty, exhausted, some asleep, and many half asleep. The gas-light, mix'd with the dingy day-break, produced an unearthly effect.
Had she followed the first dictates of her passion in this stabbing circumstance, she had either pursued her sister, and inflicted on her all that vindictive malice could suggest, or run into the arbour, and discharged some part of her fury on Natura: each alike shared her resentment, but divided between both, lost its effects on either: a revenge more pleasing, and less unbecoming of a female mind, at length got the better of those furious resolves; she thought, that as every thing favoured such a design, and she was equipped for the purpose, to take the place of her sister, would afford her an exquisite triumph over the disappointment she should occasion them: accordingly, after staying long enough to encourage the deception, she came round the arbour, and entered at the passage by which Elgidia had gone out: Natura, not doubting but it was his beloved, took her in his arms, saying, 'How transporting is the expedition you have made in your return; and indeed we had need of it, for the night is far exhausted, and it is necessary you should be out of this part of the country before day-break.
They marched accordingly to the chief place of the island; and, after travelling three days through the mountains, they arrived there before day-break on the fourth day. The inhabitants were all fled, but this part of the island seemed more fertile and better cultivated than any of the rest.
What a nebulous sweetness the first lines have, and what a clear, cool light of day-break in the last!" "You could have been as good a poet as that, Basil," said the ever-personal and concretely-speaking Isabel, who could not look at a mountain without thinking what Basil might have done in that way, if he had tried. "O no, I couldn't, dear.
You will find everything about the hut that is necessary." "But, Giles your supper," she exclaimed. "An out-house would do for me anything till to-morrow at day-break!" He signified a negative. "I tell you to go in you may catch agues out here in your delicate state. You can give me my supper through the window, if you feel well enough. I'll wait a while."
I spent the rest of the day at the inn, and started the next morning at day-break. When I got to Magdeburg, I took a letter of introduction from General Bekw to an officer. He shewed me the fortress, and kept me for three days making me taste all the pleasures of the table, women, and gaming.
The darkness of the second night wears away in prayer. At day-break he beholds far away a she-wolf gasping with parched thirst and creeping into a cave. He draws near and peers within.

"Jack, Jack!" the colonel cried, "it is an ill bird that fouls its own nest."
At day-break the weather moderated, and we were able to set more sail; but in two or three hours the wind chopped round to the north-west, and blew more fiercely than ever, attended by squalls of hailstones as big as marbles, the knocks of which made my countenance look as if I had come off second-best in a middle-weight "scrap."
Two hours after I saw de Pyene, and we fixed the meeting for the next day, at six o'clock in the morning. The arms were to be pistols. We chose a garden, half a league from the town, as the scene of the combat. At day-break I found the Swiss waiting for me at the door of his lodgings, carolling the 'ranz-des-vaches', so dear to his fellow-countrymen. I thought that a good omen.
