A thin patch of clouds moved across the sky.

Yet Harry could at times make out thin patches of white mist upon the broad bog.

And he pointed ahead to a thin patch of blue, vaguely visible through a break in the trees.

He could hear them through the thin patch as they searched.

The fringe is brown with two thin pale patches along the outer edge on either side of the middle.

They reached the camp while the sun was still sending a golden glow down through the thinner patches of leaves.

Taking a shortcut home, he skated over a thin patch of ice, fell in and died.

I dropped next to him, lay on a thin patch of snow, wheezing.
