The two horses, when they swung up before the great front-door, were so white with hoar-frost that they looked shaggy like goats, and no one could tell what was their original color. Their breath was blown in two vapory columns from their nostrils and drifted about their heads like steam about a locomotive.
He's set de jail afire," the negro exclaimed. "See me, O see me!" The conflagration gave a vapory red light to a secluded dwelling they now approached, upon a bowery lawn, and Sorden saw a woman of a severe aspect looking out of a window at the fire. "What is the meaning of this trespass so late at night?" she called. "Are you robbers? My aged husband is asleep."
As the mountain heaves and cracks, these vapory masses are seamed with fire, as if they felt and answered the dumb agony that is struggling for utterance below. Just such flashes of eager sympathetic fire break continually from the cloudy volumes of Rousseau, the result at once and the warning of that convulsion of which Paris was to be the crater and all Europe to feel the spasm.

The large ivory bedstead, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, is not at present occupied, and almost disappears beneath snowy curtains of lace and muslin, transparent and vapory as clouds. On the white marble mantlepiece, from beneath which the fire throws ruddy beams on the ermine carpet, is the usual basket filled with a bush of red camellias, in the midst of their shining green leaves.
It was a formidable formation, capable of being readily manoeuvered and with each pilot insured the best possible vision. A few white, vapory clouds hung high over the trenches toward Comblizy, and still heavier banks were to be seen to the south of la Chapelle, hanging over the Surmelin Valley.
If you would give me a short notice, I know I could arrange for a transfer." "What do you mean?" I exclaimed. "Do you want me to commit suicide? Or to undertake a murder for your benefit?" "Oh, no, no, no!" said the other, with a vapory smile. "I mean nothing of that kind.
And, truly, an angel of light had led her to that dark house. The sun was gone. A vapory mist was preceding the night. The dead day lay clammy on her hands and cheeks.
