Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: DRIZZLE.

Downright rain evokes a spirit of antagonism which, in its way, and for awhile, it is rather agreeable than otherwise to feel yourself called upon to express. When you have something to wrestle with, it is a satisfaction to be able to lay hold of it, and to be conscious that a serious effort to get the better of it, and lay it at your feet, is worth your while.

But drizzle is neither one thing nor the other. It embarrasses you. You know not how to treat it. You hoist your umbrella, and are ashamed of yourself; you put it down, and encounter a watery invasion which, despicable as it seems, makes havoc of your comfort. Drizzle is a scarcely visible, insinuating, penetrating, all-pervasive foe. It does not rouse you, but insensibly steals away your vital warmth. It teases you like a guerrilla force hovering upon the skirts of an army, or like a pestilent swarm of flies in autumn, which follow you up in your walk, ...
