Looking over the parapet, Graham saw that beneath was a wharf under yet more tremendous archings than any he had seen. Three barges, smothered in floury dust, were being unloaded of their cargoes of powdered felspar by a multitude of coughing men, each guiding a little truck; the dust filled the place with a choking mist, and turned the electric glare yellow.
These may seem small points to mention, but the observance of such small points makes a great difference to the construction of a head. These archings over should be carefully looked out for when the head is in any but a simple full face position. This is the form of drawing with which painting in the oil medium is properly concerned.
Don Fernando listened to their demonstrations with sombre contempt on his dark handsome face; Benicia indicated her pleasure by sundry archings of her narrow brows, or coquettish curves of her red lips. Suddenly she made a deep courtesy and ran to her mother, with a long sweeping movement, like the bending and lifting of grain in the wind.
We must also manage to discharge the load of the walls by means of archings composed of voussoirs with joints radiating to the centre.
He got upon his feet at that and began to pace slowly back and forth under the gloomy archings. But ere long he paused to grasp and wring my hand most lovingly, saying, "Who am I, Jack, to buy my happiness at such a price?"

And here the smell of tanning, and here the reek of a brewery and here, unprecedented reeks. And everywhere were pillars and cross archings of such a massiveness as Graham had never before seen, thick Titans of greasy, shining brickwork crushed beneath the vast weight of that complex city world, even as these anemic millions were crushed by its complexity.

And if she could carry on a conversation with the other one in an ordinarily well-bred, friendly way and confine it to the intervals between numbers one might be able to forget her, which would be a relief. But all those silly tricks of hers those smiles, those archings of the neck those lengthy looks up into the eyes of that fool " "Don't look at them," I advised. "I can't help looking at them.
But they seemed to enter into the spirit of it all, and stepped highly and daintily with proud archings of necks and tossings of green plumed heads, and behind them the May-pole rasped and bumped and grated, the trunk of a mighty oak yet bristling with green, like the stubble of a shaggy beard of virility.
