Yet anyone who had seen him during the last few weeks constantly riding at a foot's pace down this particular glade, looking carefully to right and left, would hardly have felt that his remark dovetailed in with the actual facts. The moral is morals cluster like bees round certain individuals that we must not ponder too deeply the meanings of men like Wentworth.
The long straight logs were laid one upon another in two parallel rows sixteen feet apart, and were bound together with cross timbers dovetailed and bolted into the logs. The space between the two rows of logs was filled with sand. This made the walls of the fort. The cannon were mounted upon platforms six feet high, which rested upon brick pillars.
Sometimes the two types of address are dovetailed into a single whole. Neither are wholly satisfactory. The medical variety sometimes terrifies a sensitive boy, who will imagine that his whole life is ruined and all his chance of future happiness wrecked. He will become somewhat morose, and not unfrequently will finally turn, in his despair, to the very thing against which he has been warned.
But there are men alas! few and far between who possess the rare art of giving good dinners good in the sense of sociality as well as in that of cookery. Mark Frettlby was one of these rare individuals he had an innate genius for getting pleasant people together people, who, so to speak, dovetailed into one another.
Fasten off with a few tiny surface stitches and cut off the silk on the right side of the stuff: it will be worked over. The longer stretches there are not, of course, crossed at one stitch; they take several stitches, dovetailed, as it were, so as not to give lines. Stems, narrow leaflets, and the like, are best worked always in stitches which run diagonally and not straight across the form.
They dovetailed, on the whole, not badly. Havelock, this afternoon, was full of a story. Chantry wanted to listen, though he knew that he could have listened better if Havelock's heel had not been quite so ponderous on the sæcular oak. He took refuge in a cosmic point of view. You had to climb very high to see him small. "You never did the man justice," Havelock was saying.
I noticed that, in addition to cementing, the stones and pillars forming the sides of the roadway were also dovetailed. Among the works of public interest with which successive emperors have covered China, the bridges are not the least remarkable; and in them one is able to realize the perseverance of the Chinese in the enormous difficulties of construction they have had to overcome.
She affronted Sylvia with a delicious sense of her own power over her and an underlying affection, which had in it the protective instinct of youth which dovetailed with the protective instinct of age. It had been planned that she was to return to New York immediately after Miss Farrel's funeral.
We are glad to gain any vantage ground in judging the objects and phenomena constantly presenting themselves. In fact, it is inevitable that inductive and deductive processes will be constantly dovetailed into each other. The faulty concepts arrived at are brought persistently into contact with new individual cases. They are thus corrected, enlarged, and more accurately grasped.
Removing the fireboards, he would gaze up the flues. But no sign of the hidden work yet. Now, on the second floor the rooms were the most rambling conceivable. They, as it were, dovetailed into each other. They were of all shapes; not one mathematically square room among them all a peculiarity which by the master-mason had not been unobserved.
