He had reached the palings, he was passing through. She raised herself, her last expiring energy went out in one agonized appeal: "Your pardon for my death-bed Grantley husband!" He never turned, never paused perhaps he did not hear but walked steadily and firmly on.

Ferry led northeastward, but hardly had we made half a dozen leaps when he waved me to a near corner of the flower-garden palings and I saw Miss Harper beckoning and Charlotte holding up my carbine and his sword.

And the sick, the poor ailing folks, who were forbidden to seek cure, rushed on the Grotto despite all prohibitions, slipped in whenever they could find an aperture or climbed over the palings when their strength enabled them to do so, in the one ardent desire to steal a little of the water.

And in accordance with his expectation, just as he arrived there, he perceived Guillaume slipping between the broken palings. The crush and the confusion prevailing among the concourse of believers favored Pierre as it had his brother, in such wise that he was able to follow the latter and enter the doorway without being noticed.

At any rate, we "trespassed" upon it at all hours of day and night, and many a time have I ripped my clothes on the sharp points of those palings in my breathless haste to escape some real or fancied pursuit by one in authority.

A fence of insurmountable palings stretched away on either hand; and, at the little station, there were turn-stiles, through which pilgrims passed within. Most people pay money to obtain admittance; but I was met by a very affable young man from Dartmouth, whose business it was to welcome invited visitors, and by him I was steered officially through unopposing gates.

The areas on which buildings stood were generally surrounded by palisades, and for a long time no other kind of defence save these palings seems to have been devised. In the instruction said to have been given by Amaterasu to her grandson Ninigi, on the eve of his expedition to Japan, the words are recorded: "My child, regard this mirror as you regard me.

"Yes, and they'll be wilder every day; but we must fence these yams from them, or we shall get none ourselves." "But they'll beat down the fence before it grows up." "We must pale it with cocoa-nut palings, and plant the prickly pears outside. Now, we'll go down to the sea-side."

But Mother Maillet did not mind because she had no flower-beds and because the palings were off and the youngsters made merry in her yard.
