"You will never reach that consummation of your hopes, my dear, by petting a peasant boy, even though you do look upon him as little better than a dog," said Mr. Middleton, as he drew up before the gates of Brudenell. A servant was in attendance to open them. And as the party were now at home, the conversation ceased for the present. Claudia ran in to exhibit her purchases.
Sent a whole car-load of gates down to Springfield one night! I'd like to have seen the Easthamptonites when they found their gates gone, and the Springfielders when they opened that car. Holloa, mother! Isn't it jolly here? And don't you smell the mince pies? I am going to eat two pieces!"
There he routs and puts to flight the enemy when they attempted to interrupt his works; and such terror was struck into the Faliscians in consequence, that, in their precipitate flight passing by their own camp which lay in their way, they made for the city. Many were slain and wounded, before that in their panic they could make their way through the gates.
"How shall we get our passports again?" asked Rollo. "We must send for them to the police office, I suppose," said Mr. George. It is very customary, in the great capitals of Europe, for the police to take the passports of travellers, on their arrival at the gates of the city, and direct them to send for them at the central police office on the following day.
When Captain Gates had left us, our gaiety did not cease; I seemed to be continually in opposition to my guardian, and after bearing a good deal of grave displeasure from him, and light scorn from the rest, I was finally left in peace to go my way alone, with the sense of being in perpetual disgrace, and being shunned and avoided by most of the girls' friends.
They had been encountered and defeated by the Wali Temam, and one of the brothers had been slain. The gates were secured in all haste, and the walls were scarcely manned, when Temam appeared before them with his troops, and summoned the city to surrender.
"Do you mean they're all that way, Curly?" "The whole kit of 'em, me included," says I, "and the servants within our gate, and our ox, and our hired girl, and all our hired men." "Even the maidservant within your gates?" ast he of me. "Shore!" says I. "Her especial and worst of any." "But you don't take no hand in this war?" says he. "That's just what I do," says I to him.
This section lay between Dupont and Stockton, Jackson and Pacific streets, and included within its enclosure Baker and New World alleys, connecting Dupont street with Sullivan Place, which divided this tract in two. Gates were erected at the entrance of the two alleys on Dupont street, and two gates blocked the entrance to Sullivan Place, at the end opening upon Pacific street.
A man who was walking across the Close pointed out the Folliot residence Glassdale entered by the garden door, and in another minute came face to face with Folliot himself, busied, as usual, amongst his rose-trees. Glassdale saw Folliot and took stock of him before Folliot knew that a stranger was within his gates.
Had such a question come to me, I confess I should not have known how to answer it. It is a problem that probably never presented itself to any one outside of that mysterious Forbidden City, or the equally mysterious spectres that come and go through its half-open gates in the darkness of the early morning.
