The Mexican had induced Arthur to break the pledge recently made to Frank. Although Carlos was smoking, on a little ash receiver beneath the table near which Hatch had been sitting lay a freshly lighted cigarette, from which a vapory bit of blue smoke was rising. Arthur had been smoking and drinking with Carlos.
Pike, as he put the document carefully back into the trunk and covered it with shirts. "Have a red chair. Take off your hat ah, I remember, you leave that on, don't you?" The old gentleman seated himself, somewhat reassured by the cheery manner of his host, who sat in front of him and beamed. Mr. Pike, supposed to be given to vapory and aimless conversation, really was a general.
My remembrances of all my past life in the crowded cities of America and Europe rose vividly before me. In the long strata of solid gray clouds, where the sun had gone down, leaving only a few vapory gold-fishes swimming in the clear spaces above, I could fancy I saw the lonely Roman Campagna and the wondrous dome of St. Peter's, as when first beheld on the horizon ten years ago.
It must be of surah. Madame must be melted into it do you thoroughly understand? absolutely melted into the robe. We will drop over the dress this crêpe yes, that one, but in small, light pleats. The crêpe will be as a cloud thrown over the dress a transparent, vapory, impalpable cloud. The arms are to be absolutely bare, as I already told you.
So he thought, and thought; and prayed silently for the old drummer groaning on his bed of pain; and pleaded for Atwater lying there, still, with the death-shadow he had foreseen darkening the portal of his body. And Frank longed for his mother, as he grew weary and weak, until at last sleep came in mercy, and dropped her soft, vapory veil over his soul.
But none of these fanciful, vapory creatures seemed inclined to molest them or to interfere with their flight, and after a while the umbrella dipped below this queer cloudland and entered a clear space where the sky was of an exquisite blue color. "Oh, look!" called Cap'n Bill. "There's land below us."
So great is our faith. Like Columbus, therefore, we dream of the golden Indies, and of that "unknown residue" which must yet be found, and be taken possession of by mankind. We look far out to where the horizon dips its vapory veil into the sea, and beyond which lies that other hemisphere, and ask, Is there no world there to be a counterpoise to the world that is here?
The display of the Aurora Borealis was always an exhibition of astonishing rapidity of motion of intense colors. The most glorious sunset where the vapory billows of the sky have caught the bloom of the dying Autumn cannot rival it. All the precious gems of earth appear to have dissolved into mist, to join in a wild and aerial dance. The people of Mizora attributed it entirely to electricity.
The mist, still visible in the neighborhood of the Seine, was reduced to a few floating shreds, which gave an air of vapory unsubstantiality to the houses on the quay, to the steam-boats of which only the paddle-wheels could be seen, and to the distant horizon, where the dome of the Invalides hovered like a gilded balloon, whose netting shed rays of light.
It was very early in the morning, and the sky was gray and the sea was gray, and through the vapory veiling the little town looked gray and silent as a city in a dream. During the voyage he had thought of himself always as hastening at once to Nanna's house, but as soon as his feet touched the quay he hesitated.
