It would not be called a castle, but was rather a fortified house, with a few windows looking without, and surrounded by a moat crossed by a drawbridge, and capable of sustaining anything short of a real attack. Erstwood had but lately passed into Norman hands, and was indeed at present owned by a Saxon.
The three climbed to the falls, crossed the bridge, and reached the top of the cliff. "You know the lay of the land down there, Mr. Elliot. We'll lower you," decided Macdonald, who took command as a matter of course. Gordon presently stood beside Sheba on the little plateau. She had quite recovered from the touch of hysteria that had attacked her courage.

Farther inland the northmen went until they came to a made road, which crossed the river by a stone bridge. Olaf thought that this road must lead to some large town, so he took his forces over it northward into Suffolk, and at length he came within sight of Ipswich, and he resolved to attack the place.

"Well, we can't all be rich. Come." They crossed the Strasse and traversed the walk at the side of the palace enclosures.
The day we crossed the divide we went into camp as soon as we were out of the snow on the east side. That night when it was dark we could see down the Arkansas river a great number of camp fires, and what this all meant was a mystery to us. We knew that we were then in the Comanche country, but we could not think that they were up in that region so early in the season.
From the step he threw him into the middle of the street. At this moment I observed something glittering upon the floor close to the chair occupied by the Algerian. Standing up for I had determined to depart I crossed in that direction, stooped and picked up this object which glittered. As my fingers touched it, so did my heart give a great leap. The object was a golden scorpion!
