Otter, seeing a favourable opportunity to trumpet his master's fame, swaggered to and fro through the crowd shaking a spear and chanting Leonard's praises after the Zulu fashion. "Wow!" he said, "wow! Look at him, ye people, and be astonished. "Look at him, the White Elephant, and hear his deeds. "In the night he fell upon them. "He fell upon them, the armed men in a fenced place.
Toward noon we passed fenced pastures in which many horses were grazing, and came in sight of a picturesque cottage near the shore. Miss G had told us that on the lawn in front of this cottage were two curious old stone idols which had been discovered in a fish-pond, and we rode up to the gate intending to ask permission to enter and look at them.
His heart was all on honour bent, He could not stoop to love; No lady in the land had power His frozen heart to move; or whether the deep and flaming bars of embroidered gold, which now fenced his breast, defied the artillery of Cecilia's eyes; but every arrow was launched at him in vain.
I will inquire about him, for he interests me, and I thought he seemed interested as I went on talking. No, I continued, I don't want to have the territory of a man's mind fenced in. I don't want to shut out the mystery of the stars and the awful hollow that holds them. We have done with those hypaethral temples, that were open above to the heavens, but we can have attics and skylights to them.
In the afternoon we went to pay a visit to the Vayvode, who lived among gardens in the upper town, out of the stench of the bazaars.

During his meditations he heard, and saw indistinctly, through the shrubbery that fenced the lawn from the drive, a mounted man ride up to the Rectory door.
Everett, that's the fruit that politics bears; for my part I never seed a good graft on it yet, that bore anything good to eat, or easy to digest. Slick, our tree of liberty was a beautiful tree a splendid tree it was a sight to look at; it was well fenced and well protected, and it grew so stately and so handsome, that strangers came from all parts of the globe to see it.
She regarded her sister with grave, tender eyes. "Ruth, dear, I couldn't I just couldn't live in this house. You know I couldn't," she finished gently. Mrs. Carew stirred irritably. "I'm sure I don't see why not," she fenced. Della Wetherby shook her head. "Yes, you do, dear. You know I'm entirely out of sympathy with it all: the gloom, the lack of aim, the insistence on misery and bitterness."
There were all the signs of Indian village life about her low, thatched houses in compounds fenced with thorn and prickly pear, temples in between them, trades and handicrafts plied in the shade of ancient trees, squalor and beauty, leisure, wealth, poverty and lordliness all hand in hand.
