Soon the sky became overcast, the sun buried itself in the clouds, and the fair day gave place to gloomy twilight, which lay heavily on the Indian Plains. He remembered an old Indian Castle, that once stood at the foot of the mountain. He thought if he could make his way to this, he would rest contented for a short time.

Things fall for us into a sort of natural perspective when we see them for a moment in going by; we generalise boldly and simply, and are gone before the sun is overcast, before the rain falls, before the season can steal like a dial-hand from his figure, before the lights and shadows, shifting round towards nightfall, can show us the other side of things, and belie what they showed us in the morning.

"I thought you had gone with Pearl," she said to her lover. "I did go part of the way, but I left the Party a mile down the road." "You and Pearl had no disagreement?" "No yes; that is, we always have. Our social barometers always stand at 'cloudy' and 'overcast." "And whose fault is that?" she said, easily. "Not mine," he answered, pettishly. "I know I do all I can I say all I can but she "

Half a dozen yams had been discovered, and these, beaten up with some oil, were all they had to sustain life. It was nauseous at best, but they ate it greedily.

Then at length the pitiless sun was overcast, a wild wind arose, and the glassy sea, whipped to fury, became a waste of foam and angry billows. The tiny vessel was tossed about helplessly and buffeted this way and that.

I put them into the carriage, and watched them drive away; then started, on foot, for Whitehall Gardens. The distance was so short that I could cover it more quickly walking than driving. The night was sultry and overcast; and before I reached my destination big drops of rain were spattering down, and the mutter of thunder mingled with the ceaseless roll of the traffic.

I still wore my suit given me for the raid on Nunami, though I had forgotten about it due to its comfort. That made me the only person on the earth still wearing one, the only one safe from the anionizers. It was an overcast morning, and the air was damp with a cold, wet wind that blew in forlornly.

It was a chilly night, and the sky was overcast with not a star to be seen. A tremor shook Lois' form as she stood there. "You are cold," Jasper remarked, "and you should go in the house at once." "Will you come in?" Lois asked. "It is not late and father will be pleased to see you." "Not to-night, thank you," Jasper replied.
