He went all over the premises, but though he shouted several times, neither the husband or wife answered or appeared. There was no sign of them anywhere. "They were probably caught, as I was, in the storm," he told himself, as he returned to where he had left the rain-soaked Syrian girl. He had a bottle of mixture, which he always carried on Eastern travel, as a preventive of chill.
She was not exactly bent on mischief but she wanted to satisfy her curiosity about something. The rain had lessened considerably but it was still necessary for her to protect her recently arranged curls with her small blue silk umbrella. In her mackintosh of changeable silk in two shades of blue, she made a charming picture coming down the rain-soaked path. The garden itself was a thing of beauty.
The tiny pitcher looks as if it were varnished with galenite. The impermeability which the potter obtains by the brutal infusion of his mineral ingredients the Halictus achieves with the soft polisher of her tongue moistened with saliva. Thus protected, the larva will enjoy all the advantages of a dry berth, even in rain-soaked ground.
The garden is as conventional as possible: not a flower, but little rocks, little lakes, dwarf trees cut in grotesque fashion; all this is not natural, but it is most ingeniously arranged, so green, so full of fresh mosses! In the rain-soaked country below me, to the very farthest end of the vast scene, reigns a great silence, an absolute calm.
Maya would never have thought it possible that anyone could dive into the ground as fast as that. Effie was gone, and Bobbie stared in blank bewilderment down the empty dark opening, looking so utterly stupid that Maya had to laugh. Finally he roused, and shook his small round head in angry distress. His feelers drooped dismally like two rain-soaked fans.
Again, if I had been born in Italy and had been warmed by the sunshine of the happy valley of the Arno, I might love many colourful and sunny pictures which now leave me indifferent because I got my first artistic impressions in a country where the rare sun beats down upon the rain-soaked land with almost cruel brutality and throws everything into violent contrasts of dark and light.

This was an underworld where squalor and vice went hand in hand through the beautiless streets, a melting-pot of the world's outcasts; this was the shadowland which last night had swallowed up Nayland Smith. Ceaselessly I peered to right and left, searching amid that rain-soaked company for any face known to me. Fu-Manchu peered out from the shadows between two stalls.
The rich, rain-soaked earth slipped and gave way under his feet. He adopted the plan of walking on with an indifferent air, hoping that the other would not recognize him. But a hoarse, powerful voice behind him called: "Lazare!" The capitalist's name was Lazare. He made no reply but tried to overtake a group of officers who were walking a long way in front of him. "Lazare! O Lazare!"
On all sides they saw rain-soaked officers with dejected faces who seemed to be seeking something, and soldiers dragging doors, benches, and fencing from the village. "There now, Prince! We can't stop those fellows," said the staff officer pointing to the soldiers. "The officers don't keep them in hand. And there," he pointed to a sutler's tent, "they crowd in and sit.
