"Charming," said I, with a cold shiver, hurrying down the stairs, with a pain in my ear, and the rheumatism in my shoulder. "And this," thought I, "was Glanville's residence for nearly a month! I wonder he did not exhale into a vapour, or moisten into a green damp."
Even with the thought, the horizon of his life began to clear; a light came out on the far edge of its ocean a dull and sombre yellow, it is true, and the clouds hung yet heavy over sea and land, while miles of vapour hid the sky; but he could now believe there might be a blue beyond, in which the sun lorded it with majesty.
The wind was in the north-east, and a great cloud of vapour hung in the eye of an angry sunset.
The traders on the threshold of their shops, the workmen passing plumb-line in hand, the vendors of pickle rinsing their baskets, the attendants in the vapour baths and the retailers of hot drinks all discussed the operations of the campaign.

Immense whirlwinds of vapour obscured the sky, through which glimmered a few stars. "The change is rapid!" said the engineer. "That is not surprising," answered the reporter.

You may remember, Cyrus, that the first vapours appeared about the time we searched the sides of the mountain to discover Captain Nemo's retreat.
