Above the open doorway to the unfinished smithy, a fly droned, circling toward the sweating smith-engineer.

And while the flies droned in morning heat, the two men talked.

The flies droned, flickering like spots before my eyes.

A green fly droned monotonously against a windowpane, but there was no other sound to break the eerie, empty silence of the old house.

Indeed the flies were droning around the many hanging poles.

A fly droned loudly across the room and out the door, while Carlos' low humming made an incongruously melodious background to the deadly tension.

A fly droned in through the sunstruck window.

It was a hot day and two big flies were droning in circles around the room.

The flies buzzed and droned over this blood as they did over the grease pooled around the remnants of the roasted pig.

The flies droned as drowsily and the murmur of the brook below was just as audible.
