An uninterrupted curtain of white, glistening flakes ceaselessly fell on the ground; it obliterated the forms of things and powdered them with an icy foam; and in the great silence of the quiet City, buried under the winter, one could hear nothing save that vague, nameless rustle of the falling snow a sensation rather than a sound an intermingling of light atoms which seemed to fill the space and cover the whole world.

It was interesting to go to sleep in a Pullman car, and to wake up in a dainty room hung with rosebud chintz draperies, and with an altogether delightful air of coziness about it.

So, hiding the boat behind some bushes, we crept forward together, till, getting through the underwood, we came to the edge of the covert. Before us lay the fated village, one mass of deformed and blackened ruins, from which the dark smoke ceaselessly arose, and made the air painful to breathe.

It was fear, and it would never leave him.

Day and night in summer the sound of surf pounding ceaselessly upon the cliffs was in his ears. It was music to him, and his lullaby by night. But he loved the sea no less in winter when it lay frozen and silent and white.
