"It's all right," I said. We stumbled along for a time in a close silence. We passed a dim-lit, rain-veiled window. "The silly world," she said, "the silly world! It eats and sleeps.

It is not on the cloudless summer day that familiar objects take on vague and fantastic shapes; to effect that, mists and a rain-veiled sky are wanted.
