As it moved up and caught the light, it shone like wet leather

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and bright greenish smoke came out of the pit in three separate clouds, which moved up, one after the other, into the still air.

As the unseen ray of light passed over them, trees caught fire and even the bushes exploded into flame

And then the light came, not through the window, which was filled with earth from the garden, but through a small hole that had been knocked in the wall

When we saw that, we moved as slowly as possible out of the grey light of the kitchen and into the darkness of the hall.

In the light from outside, I saw the Martian studying the curate's head

I lost my way among the streets, and soon saw down a long road, in the half-light of the early dawn, the curve of Primrose Hill
