He did not see the early Mass, but toward ten wandered again to the Cathedral and entered the cloister-door. It was a low-vaulted, sombre little Cloister which all the chattering, animated crowds could not brighten. Formerly two sides were gated off, and priests alone walked there. The other sides were public passage-ways to the church.
He loved his little porringer, which is to say that he ate a good deal; and he loved to read books, which is not to say that he loved study; he hated getting out of bed, and he was constantly gated for morning chapel. More than once he had sweetly gone to sleep over his examination papers.
Edwardes saw you at Reading, and that you are gated, and were not in college until ten o'clock. I wish you would not do such stupid things," he said quite seriously. "It was the reaction," I replied. "From what?" "Browning," I said, and The Bradder did not look altogether pleased. "I am sorry you can't appreciate Browning." "I can't appreciate very many things at once.
A don seems to me to have the fixed idea that freshers naturally drink too much, at least that was the impression the Subby gave me." "What happened to you?" "I'm gated for a fortnight, and he talked a lot of tommy-rot." "Well, I think it is most frightfully decent of you," I said. "Oh, shut up," Ward answered, "I can't stand that. I have never done anything of the kind before and shan't again.
He was again hauled, and again, without being allowed to say a word in his own defence, gated for the remainder of the term, and given to understand that he would be sent down for good if he cut a single gate. The sentence was barbarous. A call at the Lodge and a patient explanation to the Master would probably have set matters right. But Cospatric was not the man such a course would occur to.
But the son of glorious Kapaneus answered him: "Atreides, utter not falsehood, seeing thou knowest how to speak truly. We avow ourselves to be better men by far than our fathers were: we did take the seat of Thebes the seven gated, though we led a scantier host against a stronger wall, because we followed the omens of the gods and the salvation of Zeus; but they perished by their own iniquities.
I'm certain it's what you said made him let me off so easy that is, so what he means for easy. He said nothing about expelling, even when I couldn't tell him the names of those two fellows. But he's gated me till the end of the term! I may only go out for the half-hour after first school, and half an hour after half-past five. And you know what that means," he added, with a groan.
They turned up Ansdore's drive, now neatly gravelled and gated, and a flood of light burst over the gables of the house, pouring on Joanna as she climbed down over the wheel. She required no help, and he knew it, but she felt his hands pressing her waist; she started away, and she saw him laugh mocking her. She nearly cried. The rest of that evening was awkward and unhappy.
The house was gated, as are all Albanian houses, but this gate was like an old feudal portal. The doors were wonderfully carved and were opened by our old friend the Wolf. We had thought him to be a servant of Suma's, but it appeared that he belonged to the British Empire.
It's generally at two, you know; but on opening day it's 4.30," said the boy. "We shall have to cut, or we shall be gated, I say." "Well, you must show me the way," said Mark. "I'm ready." "You'll have to wear your cap and gown, though," replied Arthur, "or you'll get in a row."
