What chiefly remains to me of my impression of Durham Cathedral is, strangely enough, an objection: I did not like those decorated pillars, alternating with the clustered columns of the interior, and I do not suppose I ever shall: the spiral furrows, the zigzag and lozenge figures chiselled in their surfaces, weakened them to the eye and seemed to trifle with their proud bulk.
The statuelike woman in black dashed on twenty or thirty louis, some on numbers, some on a red lozenge, some on the words Pair and Manque. "She cannot possibly win," mumbled Madame d'Ambre. "She has lost her head and staked on so many chances that if one wins she must lose much more on the others. It is absurd. Watch her this time, and next spin I will tell you what to do for yourself."
Lozenge shape is frequently met with, and this I am inclined to favour most, as there being an acute angle at each end there is a corresponding increase of holding surface with the least amount of wood. These should be cut so that the grain does not run with that of the joint, nor in exact opposition to it, but diagonally.

Have a narvine lozenge. I all'as enj'ys 'em with a friend more'n what I dew meltin' on 'em deown alone." We sucked deliciously. "Afore I got my dispersition moderated deown inter the shape she is neow, I was dreadful kind o' sly and ongodly abeout cuttin' up tricks," he continued, his countenance now conveying only the tranquillity of one restored and forgiven. "'What? says I to the man.
M. Plantat was charged with watching Lecoq's investigations. As soon as the detective found himself alone with M. Plantat: "Well," he said, drawing a long breath, as if relieved of a heavy burden, "now we can get on." Plantat smiled; the detective munched a lozenge, and added: "It was very annoying to find the investigation already going on when I reached here.
Squares, plaids, herringbone and lozenge patterns were done by this process in such a manner as to be very handsome. We now descended to the ground floor, where was a large gymnasium, fitted up simply, but with a variety of apparatus.
"Sooner thee'st married the better for us, my son," commented his father at the close; "else farewell to psa'mody!" But Young Zeb did not reply. In fact, what remained of the peppermint lozenge had somehow jolted into his windpipe, and kept him occupied with the earlier symptoms of strangulation.
