short-day

The short day was passing from fields and sky; already the tops of the leafless trees mingled with the grey of evening.

The short day came to a close and tea-time found the barque rolling her lower yard-arms into the tremendous swells.

The short day ended by a little gymnasium practice but all the girls were rather nervous over the affair.

He outwalked the short day, and was on the towing-path by the river, somewhat footsore, when the night closed in.

The short day was closing, and already a young moon glimmered on the floods.
