And these shadowy figures, wrapped each in his own little shroud of fog, took no notice of each other. In the great warren, each rabbit for himself, especially those clothed in the more expensive fur, who, afraid of carriages on foggy days, are driven underground. One figure, however, not far from Soames, waited at the station door.
Constance slipped away from the boardinghouse, down through the deserted streets to the waterfront, leaving word at home that any message was to be sent by a trusty boy to the pier. It was a foggy and misty night on the water, an ideal night for the gun-runner. She was relieved to learn that there had been not a hitch so far. Still, she reasoned, that was natural.
They will be singing by-and-by, and never know who is standing outside, in the foggy night, listening to them." Her voice broke into sobs, but Jean Merle did not notice them. "And Felicita?" he said.

As next day we stumbled on deck in the foggy dawn, the dim island five miles off seemed only dawning too, a shapeless thing, half-formed out of chaos, as if the leagues of gray ocean had grown weary of their eternal loneliness, and bungled into something like land at last.

He had spent the whole of the second Mrs. It turned out that he had got it from the second Mrs. Manuel herself.

"If you could really see his countenance, for we know the night was dark and foggy, will you please tell me what he was like?" But the coroner was speaking casually, his hand straying over his desk; not a creature in that court now believed the woman's story. "Dark!" she answered dramatically. "Dark, almost black!
