After a long introduction, containing many words such as dæmonic sensuality, a network of the most delicate nerves, simoom, crystal, and so on, he began at last telling the story of the novel.
After Jackson's assault, a Northern historian says: "The open plain around Chancellorsville presented such a spectacle as a simoom sweeping over the desert might make.
And when the fever seized him, when he was burning with all the flames which the fiery simoom of passion breathed on him, and he felt the frenzy taking possession of his pillow, he turned towards the wall and looked at this new companion. Sometimes a moon-beam came and lighted up the hideous skull and played in the gloomy cavities of its sightless eyes.
Head the desert and you may do anything. But it is so difficult. If you can once get the tribes out of it, they will go anywhere. See what they did when they last came forth. It is a simoom, a kamsin, fatal, irresistible. They are as fresh, too, as ever. The Arabs are always young; it is the only race that never withers.
But Mr. Ricker wouldn't print it." "He's very kind to you, Brice." "Yes, he's as kind as he dares to be. He's the oasis in the desert of my life; but the counting-room simoom comes along and dries him up, every now and then. Suppose I began my article by a study of the counting-room in independent journalism?" Mrs.
It's too wonderful to believe, you angel!" And then for the first time she flung her arms about his neck and kissed him and hugged him, knelt on his lap and clasped him fiercely. He felt as if a simoom of rapture had struck him, and when she told him a dozen times that she loved him he could think of nothing to say but, "Say, this is great!" She forgave him the banality this time.
At last I resolved to come to an understanding with the driver, and I spent what little breath I had left it was dry and hot as the simoom in blowing up that infamous man. "You are a great driver," I said, "not to know your own city. What are you good for if you can't take a foreigner to his consul's?"
During the cool months, from November until February, the desert journey is not disagreeable; but the vast area of glowing sand exposed to the scorching sun of summer, in addition to the withering breath of the simoom, renders the forced march of 230 miles in seven days, at two and a half miles per hour, the most fatiguing journey that can be endured. Farewell to the Nile!
The Captain's Relation to his Men. Rough Water. Beauty of the Sea. Golden-Gate Entrance. San Francisco Streets. Santa Barbara. Its Invalids. Our Spanish Neighbors. The Mountains and the Bay. Kelp. Old Mission. A Simoom. The Channel Islands. A New Type of Chinamen. An Old Spanish House. SAN FRANCISCO, March 20, 1875. We reached here last night, after a rough voyage from Puget Sound.
For days we had journeyed along the exhausted bed: all Nature, even in Nature's poverty, was most poor: no bush could boast a leaf: no tree could throw a shade: crisp gums crackled upon the stems of the mimosas, the sap dried upon the burst bark, sprung with the withering heat of the simoom.
