4 The trees overhead made a great sound of letting down their dry rain.
5 Montag grinned the fierce grin of all men singed and driven back by flame.
6 It was a look, almost, of pale surprise; the dark eyes were so fixed to the world that no move escaped them.
7 Her face was slender and milk-white, and in it was a kind of gentle hunger that touched over everything with tireless curiosity.
8 He wanted above all, like the old joke, to shove a marshmallow on a stick in the furnace, while the flapping pigeon-winged books died on the porch and lawn of the house.
9 The autumn leaves blew over the moonlit pavement in such a way as to make the girl who was moving there seem fixed to a sliding walk, letting the motion of the wind and the leaves carry her forward.
