2 Beyond town, we found a heavy mist out, and it fell wet and thick.
3 Either the mist was not out again yet, or the wind had dispelled it.
4 And the mists had all solemnly risen now, and the world lay spread before me.
5 We were taking the course I had begun with, and from which I had diverged in the mist.

7 A cold silvery mist had veiled the afternoon, and the moon was not yet up to scatter it.
8 I indicated in what direction the mist had shrouded the other man, and he looked up at it for an instant.
9 The mist was heavier yet when I got out upon the marshes, so that instead of my running at everything, everything seemed to run at me.
10 But whether Joe knew how poor I was, and how my great expectations had all dissolved, like our own marsh mists before the sun, I could not understand.
11 We were noticing this, and saying how that the mist rose with a change of wind from a certain quarter of our marshes, when we came upon a man, slouching under the lee of the turnpike house.
