Beyond the arch great piers rise up with three faces separated by Gothic pinnacles. On each face there is at the bottom above the interpenetrating bases a classic medallion encompassed by Manoelino twisting stems and leaves, and higher up two statues one above the other.
Confident that at last our arch enemy was safely landed in the hands of the police, Kennedy and I had left the hospital and were hastening to Elaine with the news. We stopped at the laboratory only long enough to get the torpedo from the safe and at a toy store where Craig bought a fine little clockwork battleship.
They now no longer displaced one another, but those which came first remained fadedly beside or behind the fresher appearances, like the earlier rainbow which loses depth and color when a later arch defines itself. "Yes," he said, glad of the subterfuge. "They annoy me a good deal of late." "You want to get fitted for a good pair of glasses.
Only Frances Freeland was smiling and gazing lovingly at dear Derek, thinking he would be so handsome when he had grown a nice black moustache. And she said: "Yes, dear. What were you going to say?" Derek looked up. "Do you really want it, Granny?" Nedda murmured across the table: "No, Derek." Frances Freeland raised her brows quizzically. She almost looked arch. "But of course I do, darling.
He then seized his hat, which he had thrown off on entering pressed it over his brows turned to quit the shop when his eye fell upon the till. Plaskwith had left it open, and the gleam of the coin struck his gaze that deadly smile of the arch tempter. Intellect, reason, conscience all, in that instant, were confusion and chaos.

Emilia leaned to him more, and the pair fixed their eyes on the moon, that had now topped the cedar, and was pure silver: silver on the grass, on the leafage, on the waters. And in the West, facing it, was an arch of twilight and tremulous rose; as if a spirit hung there over the shrouded sun.
But the greater part of the building we have is undoubtedly Saxon; the great grey tower, the nave, the chancel arch, one of the most characteristic works of that period, and the chancel itself, though enlarged in later times, are without doubt buildings of Saxon England.
Opposite the entrance a bare rock called Sea Gull Isle rises out of the sea like a church-steeple. The roof at first was low, but we shortly came to a branch that opened on the sea, where the arch was forty-six feet in height. The breakers dashed far into the cave, and flocks of sea-birds circled round its mouth.
A peace beyond words steals into my heart, an impression of morning grace, of fresh country poetry which brings back the sense of youth, and has the true German savor.... Two decked barges carrying red flags, each with a train of flat boats filled with coal, are going up the river and making their way under the arch of the great stone bridge.
