There's a piece of the bone pressing on the brain no bigger than that, but as much as if all Burnt Ridge was atop of him! I'm going to lift it. I want somebody here to stand by, some one who can lend a hand with a sponge, eh? some one who isn't going to faint or scream, or even shake a hair's-breadth, eh?" The color rose quickly to the girl's cheek, and her eyes kindled.
Our world is filled with the statues of great generals, atop of prancing horses, leading their cheering soldiers to glorious victory. Here and there, a modest slab of marble announces that a man of science has found his final resting place.
Bob, peering in through the windows, saw tables and chairs, old chromos and newer lithographs on the walls. Under the tree at the side of the hotel hung a water olla with a porcelain cup atop. Near the back porch stood a screen meat safe. But not a soul was in sight. The street was deserted, the houses empty, the office unoccupied.
This ring of rough, reddish hair, tied with a cigar ribbon and lying atop the beads, was Bluff's best tail curl.

"Lasted fifteen minutes, line to line not fifty yards asunder;" such musketry, our last cartridges withal.
But, mamma, she will grow to be big enough to walk atop of all the Lady Hartletops in England. It will all come right at last." "You think it will?" "Oh, yes. Why should it not? If he is worth having, it will; and I think he is worth having. He must wait till this horrid trial is over. It is clear to me that Grace thinks that her father will be convicted." "But he cannot have taken the money."
They were never happy except when they went up to the palisades, struck upon them with their lath-blades, and when some orderly indweller looked over atop, ran away laughing. No doubt they had strong passions to gratify too; but, as is usual with this peculiar race of beings, the gratification was the keener the more it owed to a rebellion against decorum.
Then we learned what we might have known before but how should we? that the gold was not to be found in any and every sort of loose earth that might happen to be lying about, but only in either a sort of blue clay or a pulverized granite. Sometimes this "pay dirt" would be found atop the ground. Again, the miner had to dig for it. "All the surface diggings are taken up," our friend told us.
Atop the wall, transfixed by a spear-point, is an object which, despite its many coats of whitewash, is still recognizable as a human skull. Set in the wall is a tablet bearing this inscription: "In detested memory of the traitor, Peter Erberveld, who was executed. No one will be permitted to build, lay bricks or plant on this spot, either now or in the future. Batavia, April 14, 1772."
