I was glad of the long-sustained applause to recover my self-control.
I was quite satisfied that the meeting did not want to hear any other speaker, for they began to melt away without any formal notification having been given.

The weather has begun to break, and we are in for another spell of rain.
It is disagreeable, of course; but it has its own charm.

It was during a spell of wet weather that the Lady of the Shroud came to me.

Perhaps the rain may bring her again.

I hope so, with all my soul.
