Q "Which is the open door and which the shut?" "The Traditional Ordinances are the open door, the Koranic the shut door." Q "Of what doth the poet speak, when he saith, 'And dweller in the tomb whose food is at his head, * When he eateth of that meat, of words he waxeth fain: He riseth and he walketh and he talketh without tongue; * And returneth to the tomb where his kith and kin are lain.
Thankful appreciated his reticence; the average dweller in Wellmouth Winnie S., for instance would have started in on a vigorous cross-examination. Her conviction that Captain Bangs was much above the average was strengthened. "Yes," she said, "he was there. I saw him. He's a a kind of queer person, I should say. Do you know him real well, Cap'n Bangs?" The captain nodded.
A whirling mass of legs and arms, the dwarf flew then in midflight stopped as though some gigantic invisible hand had caught him, and was dashed down upon the platform not a yard from the Shining One! Like a broken spider he moved feebly once, twice. From the Dweller shot a shimmering tentacle touched him recoiled. Its crystal tinklings changed into an angry chiming.
It will help me home, for I feel the chilly fog from the meadows of Cardinal as if death-claws were grabbing me through and through. As Antigone said, I am neither a dweller among men nor ghosts. But, Arabella, when I am dead, you'll see my spirit flitting up and down here among these!" "Pooh! You mayn't die after all. You are tough enough yet, old man."
And it looked so empty, too, and so deserted, with never a wisp of smoke curling from its flue-pipe, that for a moment I was tempted to turn in and see whether maybe the lonely dweller was ill. But then I felt as if I could not be burdened with any stranger's worries that day. The effective shelter of the poplar forest along the creek made itself felt.
The inhabitants of towns, many of which had been founded quite independently of one another, knew little about their remote neighbors and often were quite willing to convert their ignorance into prejudice: The dweller in the uplands and the resident on the coast were wont to view each other with disfavor. The one was thought heavy and stupid, the other frivolous and lazy.
Tallington was a middle-aged man of a great reputation for common-sense and for probity; as a native of the town, and a dweller in it all his life, he knew Cotherstone well, and he would give sound advice as to what methods should be followed in dealing with him.
I would speak first of a contrast and yet I have come to recognize how impossible it is to convey to the dweller in America the difference in atmosphere between England and France on the one hand and our country on the other. And when I use the word "atmosphere" I mean the mental state of the peoples as well as the weather and the aspect of the skies.
The khitmutgar watched the start with grave, inscrutable eyes and finally turned back into the bungalow with the aloofness of a dweller in another sphere. The all-pervading Christmas cheer seemed to have gone to the sahibs' heads already. Perhaps he wondered in what condition they would return. "I say, you don't mind?" said Noel coaxingly, as they drew ahead along the dusty road.
When Juliet was about half-way across the park, hurrying to the water, Dorothy was opening the door of the empty house, seeking solitude that she might find the one Dweller therein. She went straight to one of the upper rooms looking out upon the garden, and kneeling prayed to her Unknown God. As she kneeled, the first rays of the sunrise visited her face.
