And a beam of sunlight slanted down, avoiding the looming cloud, causing the mountain to glow brilliantly.

The beam slanted across the deck where they stood.

A yellow beam from the sinking sun slanted in through the window and fell across the pillow.

A white beam from the hunter's moon overhead slanted through the door, and Nicholas saw the intruder intent on changing him from a stallion to a gelding.

The beam slanted across the cave as she entered.

A beam of late-afternoon sun slanted across the carpet and everything seemed so still Sara was almost afraid to breathe.

A yellow beam of sunlight, filtering through the muslin curtains, slanted on to the table, where a match-box, half-open, lay beside the inkpot.
