Every day he went to the burn, as he called it, with his New Testament; every day tried yet again to make out something more of what the Saviour meant. From the account he gave of the discoveries he then made, I venture to represent them in the driest and most exact form that I can find they will admit of.
June, July, and August are the coolest and driest months, and December to March the rainiest and hottest.
The fall of Lemberg had given the German right a position far to the east of their left, and Mackensen advancing from Lublin and Cholm had driven the Russians across the Bug at Wlodawa before Brest-Litovsk was taken. The marshes of Pripet were at their driest in August, and Mackensen encountered few obstacles as he pressed on from Brest to Kobrin and thence to Pinsk along the rail to Moscow.
Without any circumlocution, he asked me how I was getting on, and, before I could answer, he said, in the driest business way, that he had been thinking over a little plan, and perhaps I could help him. He had a little money he wanted to invest "'In our mission chapel? I asked. "'No, he said, without moving a muscle. 'Not that. I don't know much about chapels, Father Damon.

Small dim patches may be found as low as 3000 feet on the driest and most enduring portions of sheer walls with a southern exposure, and on compact swelling bosses partially protected from rain by a covering of large boulders.
This phenomenon takes place in the driest parts of the desert, and in places where, to an ordinary observer, there is not a sign of life.
