Lucie had given up the fight with dust - a fine layer lay over everything in the house, upstairs and down.
Another layer of clouds lay below, lighted more brightly by the city.
Now a thin layer of dust lay on the room's surfaces.
Two layers of transparent shielding lay between them and the fires to come.
A layer of psychic energy lay over the lake.
But over all the equipment and instruments lay a thin layer of sublimed ice.
A thick layer of dust lay over the fixtures.
A thin layer of dust and powdered plaster lay over every surface.
A thin layer of cosmic dust lay over the surface, such as would be found on any airless world.
It was a bright, frosty morning, but a thin layer of snow still lay on the ground.
