It seemed as if a gloomy multitude of heavy thunderclouds had gathered over the still, blue arm of the sea. The stifling smoke of powder darkened the clear sky like black vapors, while flashes of lightning and peals of thunder constantly illumined and shook the dusky atmosphere. Here a magazine flew through the air, there one ascended with a fierce crash towards the sky.
But his fury was vain, the thunderclouds melted away into a soft mist, and the gnome, after flying about for a while in despair, bewailing to the four winds his unhappy fate, went sorrowfully back to the palace, and stole once more through every room, with many sighs and lamentations.
Babcock was the next man up and he likewise hit to left. It was a low, twisting ball half fly, half liner and a difficult one to field. Gilbat ran with great bounds, and though he might have got two hands on the ball he did not try, but this time caught it in his right, retiring the side. The Stars trotted in, Scott and Healy and Kane, all veterans, looking like thunderclouds.
After dinner we all adjourned once more to the verandah to watch the dancing fireflies, the lightning, and the heavy thunderclouds, and enjoy the cool evening breeze. You in England who have never been in the tropics cannot appreciate the intense delight of that sensation.
The contrast between the two lives, so closely intertwined and powerful for good and evil on each other, reaches its climax at the end of Saul's.

But his fury was vain, the thunderclouds melted away into a soft mist, and the gnome, after flying about for a while in despair, bewailing to the four winds his unhappy fate, went sorrowfully back to the palace, and stole once more through every room, with many sighs and lamentations.
He hastened toward the dubious gleam, which now vanisht, and now again shone forth. All his powers, all his feelings were bound as in sleep; his whole being had as it were past away into a dream. A storm now got up, and heavy low-hanging thunderclouds were rolling slowly along.
That it would shower, with a sky so full of blackening thunderclouds, would scarcely be thought worthy of comment. Thus, after leaving the breakfast table this morning, raging inwardly at his blank declaration of indifference at her plans, Mrs. Hurstwood encountered Jessica in her dressing-room, very leisurely arranging her hair. Hurstwood had already left the house.
"But if I come bounding down the stairs of the Green Shield with a purse as heavy as my heart is just now why, Biberli, success puts a new face on many things, and yours shall again look at me without anxiety." The thunderclouds had gathered in the blackest masses above the Frauenthor and the Ortlieb mansion.
