Seated in an easy chair, in the tempered light of an awninged window which stood open on the terrasse, nothing in her pose-she was waiting quietly, hands folded in her lap-and nothing in her countenance, in the un-lined brow, the grave, serene eyes, lent any colour to his apprehensions.
"Alias The Lone Wolf"
Louis Joseph Vance
Warm, sun-awninged streets; ornamental men and women-summer spread itself through the crowds, warmed the bargain hunters, loiterers, clerks, stenographers, business men and housewives into a half sleep.
"Gargoyles"
Ben Hecht
Well back from the smooth and shining asphalt, as polished as ebony with its oil-drip and tire-wear, is a row of houses, some shingled and awninged, some Colonial-Spanish, and stuccoed and bone-white in the sun, some dark-wooded and vine-draped and rose-grown, but all immaculate and finished and opulent.
"The Prairie Mother"
