To poet or painter's eye, indeed, the lodge was charming; it was small, of course, but very picturesquely built, and afforded the new tenant a bow-windowed sitting-room, with an outlook such as few dwellings in England, and probably none elsewhere, could offer.
It might, perhaps, be called the largest and handsomest in Nuremberg; but it was only a wide two-story structure, though the roof had been adorned with battlements and the sides with a small bow-windowed turret.
Then the church-bells began to ring for morning service, and they were at the entrance of the town-street, with its little bow-windowed shops shut up, and its pretty thatched cottages half buried in flowery gardens that made sweet the air. Bessie's heart beat fast and faster as she recognized one old acquaintance after another.
How heavenly to find oneself in this wild clean country! after all the ugly squalors of parade and lodging-house, after the dingy bow-windowed streets with the March dust whirling through them. She leant across the broad window-sill, her chin on her hands, absorbed, drinking it in.
But I didn't mean really to talk about them I only wanted to show you how deeply Glebeshire matters to the Trenchards, and whatever happens, wherever a Trenchard goes, he always really takes Glebeshire with him.

It is a long, bow-windowed cottage, now divided into two dwellings. It stands facing the Leck, between which and it intervenes a space, about seventy yards deep, that was once the school garden. This original house was an old dwelling of the Picard family, which they had inhabited for two generations.
He pushed open the gate, and, taking no further notice of her, walked up the little path to his door. Reaching it, he found her behind him. With that air of girlish authority he had once found so pleasant, "I am coming in," she said. He led the way into that bow-windowed room in which Mrs Kilbourne had died.
Very soon the houses began to close in upon the road, brick-built, pretentious, bow-windowed villas; then we were in the streets, showing a wholesome antiquity in the broad-windowed mansions of mellow brick, which sprang into life when the honest king George III. made the quiet port fashionable by spending his simple summers there.
