The sun was now obscured; light, detached clouds, looking heated and angry, were hurrying in advance with a low flight, while the heavens were half-covered by the threatening mass which came gathering in dark and heavy folds about the island.
I'm going to get it, if I go to Liverpool for it! Now, then! and down went the mermaid quite out of sight this time, groping like a real lobster at the bottom of the sea. 'Plucky little girl! I like that. Who is she? asked the lady, sitting down on a half-covered stone to watch her diver, since the bracelet was lost sight of.
My carriage was half-covered with mud, and gave us such terrible shocks that at every moment I expected to give up the ghost. For the sake of some relief from this torture, I stopped half-way at the inn of Novgorod, the only one on the route, where so I had been informed I should be well fed and lodged. Being greatly in want of rest, and faint with hunger, I asked for a room.
Her short, dark-clad figure, half-covered with a blue apron, showed all its too-generous curves as she bent forward, and when, at Théo's remark, she turned to him with a smile, she showed a round, wrinkled, rosy face and small blue eyes that wrinkled with sympathetic kindness. "She is beautiful, my little bit of cabbage?" Théo broke the last egg, sat down the bowl, and got down from the table.
Looking down upon this mass of ruins from a broken pedestal, half-covered with ivy, a mutilated, but colossal statue of stone still keeps its place. This statue is strange and awful.

Around them stretched a desolate plain, half-covered with snow, and strewn with the skulls and bones of buffalo; while, on its farthest verge, they could see the lodges of the Miami Indians, who had made this place their abode. They soon reached a spot where the oozy saturated soil quaked beneath their tread.
It was her wish to make him understand that she would never think ill of him, for a moment, if he would make up his mind to abandon her; but she could not find the words to express herself, and she went, at last, to bed, leaving the half-covered paper upon the table. She went to bed, and cried herself to sleep.
A few weeks later he found his master's corpse hidden in a hollow on the edge of the forest, half-covered with broken branches, rotting leaves, and melting snow. There were three bullets in the body. They had been fired at close range. The widow's heart, passing from the torture of uncertainty to the calm of settled grief, had still a sacred duty to live for.
When they got on board, he let the craft swing out with the eddy, and the row, curving as the current changed, rode behind a half-covered rock a short distance from the stones. Blurred rocks and trees loomed in the mist up stream; below, the foaming rapid glimmered through the spray. The river, swollen by melting snow and stained green by glacier clay, was running fast.
