He had held her back as they jolted over the worn pavement of cedar blocks, but now they had reached the city limits and were starting out upon the rain-beaten sand. She was a tall, clean-limbed sorrel, a Kentucky-bred Morgan, and as she settled into her stride, Bannon watched her admiringly. Her wet flanks had the dull sheen of bronze.
Till suddenly, poor fool! a little bolt shot from the bow of memory the image of a diligence rattling along a white road or of black rain-beaten quays, with their lines of wavering lamps or of a hideous upper room with blue rep furniture where one could neither move nor breathe would strike his dream to fragments, and as it fell to ruins within him, his whole being would become one tumult of inarticulate cries delirium anguish with which the self at the heart of all seemed to be wrestling for life.
Here was no living presence, save for the limpets on the rocks, for some old, gray, rain-beaten ram that I might rouse out of a ferny den betwixt two boulders, or for the haunting and the piping of the gulls. It was older than man; it was found so by incoming Celts, and seafaring Norsemen, and Columba's priests.

The rain had continued to fall during the night, but the villagers had been coming singly and in groups to glance silently at the rain-beaten scrap of paper which was the latest bulletin, and then silently returning to the gate, and disappearing in the darkness only to return later.

She'll cut us dead again that meek little mouse of a girl! And I don't blame her for it either, so there!" Berta tucked a pensive skip in between steps as they moved through the gloomy corridor past rain-beaten windows.
The rain-beaten windows of Rushbrook's town house, however, were cheerfully lit that December evening. Mr. Rushbrook seldom dined alone; in fact, it was popularly alleged that very often the unfinished business of the day was concluded over his bountiful and perfect board.
