paragraph 1,Rain was falling steadily. The sparrows huddled under the eaves, or hopped disconsolately along the window-sills, uttering short, ill-tempered chirps. The wind was rising, blowing in quick, sharp gusts and sweeping the forest of rain spears, rank upon rank, in mad dashes against the glass-roofed studio.
paragraph 2,Gethryn, curled up in a corner of his sofa, listlessly watched the showers of pink and white blossoms, which whirled and eddied down from the rocking chestnuts, falling into the windy court in little heaps.
