What taxed me most in the wreck of one of my favorite canons by cloud-burst was to see a bobcat mother mouthing her drowned kittens in the ruined lair built in the wash, far above the limit of accustomed waters, but not far enough for the unexpected.

It seemed to Janet indeed a torrent as she clung to the side of the gatehouse as one might cling to the steep bank of a mountain brook after a cloud-burst. And suddenly she had plunged into it. The desire was absurd, perhaps, but not to be denied, the desire to mix with it, feel it, be submerged and swept away by it, losing all sense of identity.
The storm had delayed the march and, after the last cloud-burst, several convicts and guards had been attacked by fever owing to their wet night-quarters in the open air. The Egyptian asses, too, who were unused to rain, had suffered and some of the best had been left on the road.

'Look there! he pointed out into the street, where his sheets of paper went swirling about in the heavy air like white doves. "A second later came the rain, a veritable cloud-burst.
The words fell upon Bucks like a cloud-burst. Before he could return a word or catch his breath Hawk strode away.
