The room was lit by a reading lamp, and the ceiling was so shadowy that at first I could see nothing at all. Then I saw the light or the ghost of a light gleaming faintly upon or through the ceiling. It was the faintest yellow, neither a bull's eye nor a splotch.
That was all he said as the black entrance grew larger before them. The engineer glanced at Fuller and Murphy, wondering if they would give the signal to slow down. Neither of them moved. Then the Texas plunged into the smoke-laden darkness. Presently there appeared a faint luminous splotch ahead of them, growing brighter as the seconds passed. They flashed out into the daylight again.
Its low, square houses were glaring white; here and there a splotch of vivid Cuban blue stood out; the rickety, worm-eaten piling of its water-front resembled rows of rotten, snaggly teeth smiling out of a chalky face mottled with unhealthy, artificial spots of color. Gusts of wind from the shore brought feverish odors, as if the city were sick and exhaled a tainted breath.
"Didn't you anticipate any personal danger when you entered?" he queried instead. "Weren't you afraid I might shoot?" "No." There was a long silence. Mr. Grimm still sat with his elbows on his knees, staring, staring at the vague white splotch which was Miss Thorne's face and bare neck. One of her white arms hung at her side like a pallid serpent, and her hand was at rest on the seat of the couch.
Five minutes later the cowboy viewed with approval the figure that stood before him, booted and spurred, with his mud-caked garments replaced by corduroy trousers and a shirt of blue flannel against which the red silk muffler made a splotch of vivid colouring.

Then came wind, right high-tempered, too, slanting the rain and scudding it and blowing pedestrians' skirts forward and their umbrellas inside outward. Mr.
Then suddenly Morey burst out laughing. "Ho you win, Arcot. That was one they didn't think of, I'll bet! Luminous paint and by the hundred gallon! Radium paint, I suppose, and no man has ever found how to stop the glow of radium. That plane sticks out like a sore thumb!" Indeed, the great luminous splotch made the gigantic plane clearly evident against the gray clouds.
"It is all very well for you to complain that my trees are a blur, and the castle nothing but a splotch, but I am looking at the water, and if I am looking at the water, it is quite impossible that I should see the trees and the cows otherwise than I have rendered them on the canvas. True art is to paint what the painter sees and as he sees it." Colonel Quaritch shook his head and sighed.
As Thorson reached forward to steady the other, one of those hands tore at tunic collar, ripping loose the sealing There was no need for explanation the red splotch signaled from Jellico's sweating throat. He kept his feet, holding out against the waves of pain by sheer will power.
