The white-coated proprietor, with elbows on the bar, gazed listlessly at a Remington night-scene a desert nocturne with a shadowy adobe against the blue-black night, a glimmer of lamplight through a doorway, and in the golden pathway a pony and rider and the red flash of pistol shots. Opposite the bartender, at a table against the wall, sat a young man, clad in cool gray.

It was from The Talisman, and a night-scene, which she was able to render with great precision and even beauty, and the dun light would be in her favor. It was to be the crowning one, and the last of the tableaux. It was expected to bring down the house. But Maggie was not there, and the girls could not help feeling a little disconsolate and a little surprised.
A luminous night-scene is therefore compared to the shabi barat. I warrant you there were no "tickets of leave" granted in those blessed days. This means an impertinent, or rather a chaffing, question, like our own classic interrogation, "Does your mother know you'ra out?" It is incumbent on every good Musalman to pray five times in the twenty-four hours.
He took no interest in politics, and he hated speeches, but he would like to see our Ambassador. He had heard that he was always excellently dressed.... Vera said very little. Her troubles that evening must have been accumulating upon her with terrible force I did not know, at that time, about her night-scene with Nicholas.
This night-scene was so terrible and impressive that even my uncultivated companions were involuntarily silent mute, and noiseless, we went on our way, nothing breaking the death-like stillness but the rattling steps of our animals.
A few days of this, accordingly, had wrought a change in that apprehension of the instant beatitude of triumph of triumph magnanimous and serene with which the upshot of the night-scene on the terrace had condemned our young woman to make terms.
The night-scene in the city is very striking for its vastness and loneliness. Everybody has gone to rest long before ten o'clock. There are no lights in the enormous buildings; only the stars blazing above, with their astonishing brilliancy, in the blue peaceful sky. Your guides carry a couple of little lanterns which redouble the darkness in the solitary echoing street.
The picture was to be painted at the dock, and the painter had already achieved a daringly suggestive impression in pastels of the familiar night-scene which he now described: the streaming, vivid torches, their rays struggling and drowning in the murky water, glimmering faintly in the windows of the black warehouse barely suggested at the side; the alert, swarming sailors, busy with ropes and tackle; and in the middle the dark, steep leviathan, fresh from the sea-storms, growing, as it were, out of the impenetrable chaos of the foggy background, in which the river-lights gleamed like opals set in dull ebony.
