If he had recognized me on his side, he would not have come back again. He would have slipped through our fingers! It was my beard that saved us! my romantic beard! my pretty little romantic beard!" And again he broke into a laugh. He stepped to the window. The snow was still falling, and streaking the gray of the sky. "What beastly weather!" said he. Then lapping his overcoat across his breast:
Beneath the sea of fire was every moment extending its boundaries, a tossing, stormy, burning ocean, whence now arose dense clouds of smoke that collected over the city in a huge pall of a somber coppery hue, which was wafted slowly athwart the blackness of the night, streaking the vault of heaven with its accursed rain of ashes and of soot.
This was a lithe shape streaking through my open window a figment of the imagination, as I concluded at the time, the tail-end of a dream visibly retreating in the moment of awakening.
Venters thought of the eagles and their lofty nest in a niche under the arch. A driving pall of rain, black as the clouds, came sweeping on to obscure the bridge and the gleaming walls and the shining valley. The lightning played incessantly, streaking down through opaque darkness of rain.
Alan saw Jensen writhing in the steel grip of a roboguard. Had Webber's device failed? Evidently so. Alan was unable to move. He saw Freeman and McGuire streaking wildly down the street with police in keen pursuit. Hollis stood staring dumbly inside the bank door. Alan saw Kovak come running toward him. "Everything's gone wrong!" Kovak whispered harshly. "The cops were waiting for us!

A big lizard went rustling through a pile of dead leaves and all three of them started.
Even in winter he would now and then go out to see the sunrise, and see it; and from the street might now and then, at rare times, be beheld a dappling and streaking, a mottling and massing of clouds on the blue.
He shifted his shoulder pack. The brass valve-nipple by which the oxygen tank was filled.... He jammed a ragged fragment of tin in place. He pressed down fiercely. A blazing jet of fierce, scintillating, streaking sparks leaped up from the spot where the metal glowed brightly. A hollow in the metal plate appeared. The metal disintegrated in gushing flecks of light....
The mighty hollow of the desert below seemed wide strip of red wide strip of green wide strip of gray streaking to purple peaks. It was all too vast, too mighty to grasp any little details. He thought, of course, of Rojas in certain pursuit; but it seemed absurded to look for him. Yaqui led on, and Gale often glanced up from his task to watch the Indian.
Once a policeman touched me as I blinked into the roaring torches of a street-repairing gang. Once I found myself on Brooklyn Bridge, looking down at big boats shaped like pumpkin seeds, with lights streaking from every window. Once I woke behind a noisy group under the coloured lights of a Bowery museum. It rained, for horses were rubber-blanketed, and umbrellas dripped on me as I passed.
