We walked in the garden and grounds together; we read, or rather I read and she listened; read poetry, Katey sometimes till we could not read any more for certain haziness and huskiness which look now, I am afraid, considerably more absurd than they really were, or even ought to look. In short, I considered myself thoroughly in love with her." "And wasn't she in love with you, uncle?"
In the low concentration of power that Arcot had used, only a small portion had been touched, and the molecules of this portion had not been enough to tip over its tremendous weight. Only one enemy remained; and Arcot learned swiftly that he was still in action, for before he could dodge back there came that now-familiar pink haziness.
Then they got their dinner by the side of the river, and waited for the sun to finish drying the clothes. By and by, after dinner, they took off their head-dresses and began to play at ball, and Nausicaa sang to them." I think you will agree with me that there is no haziness no milking of ewes that have had a lamb with them all night here. The writer is at home and on her own ground.
When I had finished, he emphasized the haziness of my answers to his questions by quoting them: "Region: 'You know, that big wood! Time: 'This morning, of course! Rounds fired: 'Oh, a lot!" etc. Not until we had been flying for a month or more did we learn how to make the right use of our clocks and of our eyes while in the air.

When one has narrowly escaped death by strangulation one may be pardoned some slight mental haziness. Besides, it makes to retain sympathy, not to be too confoundedly clear-headed. "Fatal hour?" "The dear man promised to turn in his answer to our unselfish little proposition at six bells to-night and not later." "Really?"
