I fancy that animals and birds follow up rain-storms from place to place to take advantage of the good feed which springs into life, and it is most probable that for ten months in the year these hills are undisturbed by animal or bird life.
Now my wife she purses up her mouth so tight you couldn't stick a pin in it when she's riled. I often say to her, 'Do explode. Open your mouth and let it all out at once. But she says it is not becoming for such as her ter 'explode. But it will come out all the same, only it's like one of yer cold northeast, drizzlin', fizzlin' rain-storms.
Stanton that with supplies and forage he could "stampede the enemy to Richmond," was unable to stir a foot to assist his colleague. Once again Jackson had turned to account the strategic possibilities of the Massanuttons and the Shenandoah; and, to increase General Shields' embarrassment, the weather had broken. Heavy and incessant rain-storms submerged the Virginia roads.
They had marched and fought in dust and heat, in pouring rains and driving, icy blasts; they had become men grim and terrible in spirit-men with limbs of steel, who could march or ride for days and nights, who could lie down and sleep upon the ground in rain-storms and winter snows, who were ready to leap at a word and seize their muskets and rush into the cannon's mouth.
I love to trace the break of spring step by step: I love even those long rain-storms, that sap the icy fortresses of the lingering winter, that melt the snows upon the hills, and swell the mountain-brooks, that make the pools heave up their glassy cerements of ice, and hurry down the crashing fragments into the wastes of ocean.
Why is the door closed, and by Josh Stebbins? that rude door, that, throughout the long summer-day, is accustomed to hang open on its raw-hide hinges? All day, and often all night except during the cold wintry winds, or when rain-storms blow from the west? Why is it now closed, and thus unceremoniously? No wonder that Marian attaches a significance to the act.
Before she touched the earth Arnold glanced rapidly round and discovered his aërial fleet resting under a series of large palm-thatched sheds which had already been erected to protect them from the burning sun, and the rare but violent tropical rain-storms. He counted them. There were only eleven, and therefore the evil tidings that they had heard from the captain of the Andromeda was true.
She breakfasted in the open air, amid the Vendeans under arms. Madame continued her journey on horseback. Nothing could stop her, neither oppressive heat nor rain-storms. When she was spoken to of her fatigues, "It is only fair," she responded, "that I should give myself a little trouble to make the acquaintance of those who have shed their blood for us."
The Sioux reported that they had not intended to murder the priest, but a crazy-brained fanatic had shot the fatal arrow and broken from restraint, weapon in hand. Rain-storms had washed out all marks of the fray. In September the bodies of the victims were carried to Fort St. Charles, and interred in the chapel.
Pe-lung still retained the impressive form of a gigantic dragon as he cleft the Middle Air, shining and iridescent, each beat of his majestic wings being as a roll of thunder and the skittering of sand and water from his crepitant scales leaving blights and rain-storms in his wake.
