He had been there when I entered, and I could not recall having seen him before about the hotel; but of this I was not certain, since his face was in shadow and half-covered by his hat. In the adjoining bar, to judge from the clinking of glasses and bottles and the hum of conversation, Madame Ragoul was busy with a few customers.
The enclosures of the three old quarters which are now lost might be distinguished; they rose here and there like great reefs, or extended in enormous fronts, blackened, half-covered with flowers, and broadly striped by the casting of filth, while streets passed through their yawning apertures like rivers beneath bridges.
And there, under the phantom light of a moon hidden by the drift of storm-clouds, they found Andrew gone and all they saw of Joshua was a shadow a shadow in black frock-clothes wading away from them over the half-covered flats, deeper and deeper, to where the Adams sloop rode at her moorings, a shade tailing in the wind.
The girl knelt down and told all that she knew, and the Governor said: "If the door and windows were closed, and nothing has been stolen, the matter is dubious. Had your father an enemy?" "Not to my knowledge." "That is strange!" murmured the Governor, and thought for a moment. Suddenly he told the officers to take off the silken veil with which the young girl had half-covered her head.
It was neater and better kept than the majority of the huts of the peasants. The walls of baked clay had been whitewashed and were half-covered with bright flowers. A patch of carefully cultivated ground lay around it. Jethro entered the cottage. On a settle at the further end a man was sitting.

Excitement does not blur the impressions of youth; it sharpens them, makes them more vivid. Half-covered and hardly noticed at the time, they spring up into life when the quiet hour comes. So the Boy remembered his mother's words while he lay watching the sunrise. It would be great to make them come true.
With an imagination as quick as Robin's she saw the old cottage it was a charming old house, snuggled under elms, half-covered in summer with rambling vines and pink blossoms alive with romping, happy-voiced children, some poring over pretty picture-books, others listening to a story, some working in a garden some just tumbling about on the soft grass in a pure exuberance of youthful joy.
These half-converted, or, rather, half-covered, youths, after rubbing noses, and chattering with our guides, conducted us to the dwellings of their masters.
