Great joy was caused among the Spaniards at this permission. They at once took possession of the sanctuary, and thoroughly cleansed it. They then decorated its walls with flowers, and raised an altar, surmounted by a crucifix and an image of the Virgin. When all was ready, the whole army moved up the winding ascent to the summit, and a solemn mass was celebrated.
When they have decided on the site, the mother bird brings her first string or vegetable fiber and attaches it to a twig by winding it around and around many times, leaving one or both ends hanging free. I have nests where these foundation strings are wound around a twig a dozen times.
That May he went up to Dalhousie with his mother, and in those days the journey ended in fifty or sixty miles of uphill travel in a doolie or palanquin, along a road winding through the Himalayas. Adam sat in the doolie with his mother,and Strickland rode and tied with me, a spare doolie following.
Ralston's wistful blue eyes seldom rested upon the race-course. They looked beyond to the mist-veiled plains. The room she had prepared for Stella's reception looked in an easterly direction towards the winding, wooded road that led up to the Rajah's residence. Great care had been expended upon it.
But a sound that was repeated regularly he could not understand, nor could he determine the direction from which it came. It was sound diffused like the fog itself. It was mellowed by distance.

First came an early flight of boys bursting out of the different doors, and chasing one another down the winding stairs two steps at a time.
We had been led to expect a mere country auberge, decent shelter, no more perhaps even two-curtained, alcoved beds in a common sleeping-room! What was our astonishment to find quite ideal rustic accommodation quarters, indeed, inviting on their own account a lengthy stay! A winding stone staircase led from the street to the travellers' quarters.

Look up and let me kiss away the tears. There! I shall find my wits and unravel this skein of your husband's winding." "No, let me do that; I shall be able to manage him.

Now I must live for freedom." "Breakfast, Miss," spoke a neat, kind-faced, yet ready woman, of Virgie's own size and color; "my husband is going to drive you out of town before any of the white people are up to see you."
