low and quiet and the children stared out of the windows and did not ask to go out to play. "It was about noon that the first attempts to subdue the fog were made by the ever-powerful sun. He rode high in the sky, a pale ghost of himself, his rays striking against the banked layers of fog ineffectually. He did not strain at first, just kept pouring a steady barrage of heat into his enemy who absorbed them, not realizing that the very absorption of the heat would be its downfall. "For an hour the steady rays did their work of undermining, then, through a minute rift in the fog's structure the first advance scouts of the sun's might plunged in to really begin the battle. "As the rays began their work the fog brought reinforcements in from the sea. Wave after wave of fog poured in from the ocean and filled nearly all the gaps left by the defeated sectors. And as each wave of fog came in to the city the sun released greater and greater bolts of heat and blasted the newcoming fog into wraithy tentacles. "Then the battle began in earnest. Heat, the fog, more heat...more fog, the sun pressed and beat at the fog with all the power of its immense strength. And the fog began to give. Just a little at first, then more quickly and as the rays of sunlight marched the streets the fog turned in full rout and sped before the sun back the ocean from whence it had come. "The battle lasted a full three hours...It was an inspiring and beautiful thing to watch...Now do you see how this city affects me, and why I love it?"
