It may have been that Caroline felt then, that to speak of something was to forfeit something.A light glimmered across the dewy blue of her beautiful eyes.…Cited from Evan Harrington by George Meredith, v4

He knelt down in silence, and in silence Montanelli laid his hand on the bent head.A moment later Arthur rose, kissed the hand, and went softly away across the dewy grass.Montanelli sat alone under the magnolia tree, looking straight before him into the blackness.…Cited from The Gadfly, by E. L. Voynich
He promised them that Sancho Mendez should have his just deserts.Slowly, reluctantly the crowd broke up and shuffled away in small groups across the dewy Green.…Cited from West Wind Drift, by George Barr McCutcheon
That night the father and son recognized each other, and after a joyful reunion they lay down to rest, having decided that in the morning Telemachus should repair to the palace and tell Penelope that her husband was still alive, but leave her in ignorance of the fact that he was near at hand.In the rosy light of the morning the young prince hastened across the dewy lawn on his way to his mother.When he reached the palace he propped his spear against the wall, leaped like a lion over the threshold, hastened with running steps across the hall, and threw himself into the arms of his loving mother.…Cited from Book of Old Ballads, ed. B. Nichols, Vol. 4
Nothing more was said as the three, the captors and the prisoner, tramped across the dewy grass.As they drew closer to the building Roy had descried, he saw that it was a dilapidated looking affair.…Cited from The Girl Aviators' Sky Cruise, by Margaret Burnham
The long High Street was almost empty of people at that early hour; one side was entirely covered by the cool morning shadow which lay on the pavement, and crept up the opposite houses till only the topmost story caught the rosy sunlight.Up the hill-road, through the gap in the stone wall, across the dewy fields, Sylvia went by the very shortest path she knew.She had only once been at Haytersbank since her wedding-day.…Cited from Sylvia's Lovers (All), by Elizabeth Gaskell
They conversed for a while, the men smoking.Then Recklow went away across the dewy grass, followed by two frisky and factious cats.But when McKay took Miss Erith's head into his arms the girl's eyes were wet.…Cited from In Secret, by Robert W. Chambers
So long since that I have forgotten the date, I used every morning to visit a spot where I could get a clear view of the east.Immediately on rising I went out to some elms; thence I could see across the dewy fields to the distant hill over or near which the sun rose.These elms partially hid me, for at that time I had a dislike to being seen, feeling that I should be despised if I was noticed.…Cited from The Story of My Heart, by Richard Jefferies
The night was still and clear, although there was no moon.For a long time Lavretsky wandered across the dewy grass.A narrow footpath lay in his way, and he followed it.…Cited from Liza, by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev
Over the wooden railings now, and across the dewy pasture and up the tallest sandhill, from the top of which he could, as he knew, look down upon the sea.The waters would be ruddy and golden at this hour, but by day ran brown and sluggish enough over the mud banks of the Alt.…Cited from North, South and Over the Sea, by M.E.

Senator Burton feels that the time has come when something must be done to end it -- one way or the other -- and the day before yesterday he sought out Mr. Stephens, now one of his closest friends and advisers, in order that they might confer together on the matter.As he stands there looking down at the two figures walking across the dewy grass, he remembers with a sense of boding fear the conversation with Nancy's lawyer.…Cited from The End of Her Honeymoon, by Marie Belloc Lowndes
He turned and strode away, very much at random, across the dewy fields, his half-penitent tormentor quietly watching him from his point of vantage in the saddle till he disappeared beyond an array of trees.Cited from Can Such Things Be?, Ambrose Bierce
Born amid the moorlands, cradled in the heather, nourished on the breezy heights of Rehoboth, she grew up an ideal child of the hills.For years her morning baptism had been a frolic across the dewy uplands; and, evening by evening, the light of setting suns kindled holy fires in her rapturous and wonder-filled eyes.The native heart, too, was in touch with the native heath; for Milly's nature was deeply poetic, many of her questions betraying a disposition and sympathy strangely out of harmony with the kindly, yet rude, stock from which she sprang.…Cited from Lancashire Idylls (1898), by Marshall Mather
A more retired spot, a completer sequestration from the world of mart and highway, it would have been hard to find.In the quiet of the early morning, when the shadows of the trees lay across the dewy grass, it was an angle of the earth as cloistral and withdrawn as heart of scholar or of anchorite could wish.On one side of the house lay a tiny orchard, and the windows of the living room looked out upon a mist of pink and white apple blooms.…Cited from Audrey, by Mary Johnston
"Rouse out, and Uncle will show boysey pretty picture."Brushing aside the coverlet of fowl I followed him tip-toe across the dewy mead to the tarpaulin which he and MacTavish call "home."Albert Edward lifted a flap and signed me to peep within.…Cited from Punch, Vol. 153, Sept. 26, 1917, Ed. by Sir Owen Seaman
On the whole, there was so much cloud, and so little solid earth, that it had the effect of a vision.The children above-mentioned, being as full of life as they could hold, kept overflowing from the porch of Tanglewood, and scampering along the gravel-walk, or rushing across the dewy herbage of the lawn.I can hardly tell how many of these small people there were; not less than nine or ten, however, nor more than a dozen, of all sorts, sizes, and ages, whether girls or boys.…Cited from The Gorgon's Head, by Nathaniel Hawthorne
She was sweet, innocent, artless, and their love was very natural, tender, innocent.It's a pity that all loves can not remain in just that idyllic, milkmaid stage, where the girls and boys awaken in the early morning with the birds, and hasten forth barefoot across the dewy fields to find the cows.…Cited from Little Journeys To The Homes Of English Authors, by Elbert Hubbard
And as they strolled back to the house, by lavender walk and rose garden, and across the dewy lawn, Lesbia questioned herself as to whether she was one whit better or more dignified than Isabella Trinder.She wore her rue with a difference, that was all.…Cited from Phantom Fortune, A Novel, by M.

But as he stands there in the early morning sunlight, for it is only six o'clock, he does not look in harmony with the tranquil beauty of the scene before him.There is a stern, troubled expression on his face, for he has just espied two figures walking side by side across the dewy grass; the one is his son Gerald, the other Nancy Dampier, still in the delicate and dangerous position of a woman who is neither wife, maid, nor widow.The Senator's whole expression has changed in the two years.…Cited from The End of Her Honeymoon, by Marie Belloc Lowndes
