1 I watched them with a sense of soothing, and a sort of calm stole over me.
2 The sense of sleep was upon me, and with it the obstinacy which sleep brings as outrider.
3 I felt the same vague terror which had come to me before and the same sense of some presence.
4 There were dark, rolling clouds overhead, and in the air the heavy, oppressive sense of thunder.
5 The soft moonlight soothed, and the wide expanse without gave a sense of freedom which refreshed me.
