The bed was not made up, and dust lay thick everywhere.
Dust lay over everything, as if the place had not been cleaned in a decade.
The dust lay like a thin mist in the air.
We had no water for washing and the dust lay heavily upon us.
No dust lay here, where the accumulation of ages might be expected.
The dust of ages lay upon the ramp down which we walked.
Where the dust was like pollen and lay softly on all things.
Dust lay thick over the ashes in the great fireplace.
Dust lay in a blanket and stirred as they walked through the interior.
Dust lay upon everything in a thick, gray film.
