Of course, that was mere day-dreaming, a nebulous fantasy brought by her gracious presence into a medley of hurrying windlasses, strenuous orders, and sulky, panting men. At any rate, she had left a memento of her too brief appearance on board in the shape of the bag.
The rush of wind tore the pins from her hair which, like a golden plume, stretched out behind her. I dare say. But to Warburton and the girl, it never occurred that other persons had gone through like episodes. The distance between the two horses began slowly to lessen, and Warburton understood, in a nebulous way, what the girl had meant when she said that Dick could outrun Pirate.
At dessert appeared a third bottle; by this time, Piers was drinking without heed to results; jovially, mechanically, glass after glass, talking, too, in a strain of nebulous imaginativeness. A secretaryship was sure to come pretty quickly, and then, who knew what opening might present itself! He wouldn't mind a consulship, for a year or two, at some agreeable place.
He stared through the window of his helmet while the light grew and expanded into nebulous, cloudy glowing that faded and was gone. Again it came and died; and a third time. And then Chet Bullard swore loudly and harshly within the silence of his own metal sheath, while he cursed his own dullness that had kept him from instant comprehension. That light was far away, but, "Keep moving!"
Given a rare and widely-diffused mass of nebulous matter, having a diameter, say, of one hundred times that of the Solar System, what are the successive changes that may be expected to take place in it?

The four great sheaves of light give it a square appearance, and are made up of rays or plumes, delicate like the petals of a flower. During a minimum the nebulous ring seems to be made of tufts of fine hairs with aigrettes or radiations from both poles, and streamers from the equator.
Men hurried through the hall, and there was clamour of voices, and in the honey-coloured air the great bulk of the palace towered like a faithless sentinel, the alien banners in nameless colours sending streamers into the moon-lit upper spaces. On before, down nebulous ways, went the whiteness of the floating veil. Down nebulous ways they went, the thin darkness flowing past them.
He found a happiness that, at the same time, was a pain; he found an actual catch in his throat that was a nebulous desire; he found an utter loneliness together with the conviction that this earth was a place of glorious possibilities of affinity.
When the nebulous mass has reached a particular stage of condensation when its internally-situated atoms have approached to within certain distances, have generated a certain amount of heat, and are subject to a certain mutual pressure, combinations may be anticipated.
