There was just time for Molly to throw an old cloak over her charge, and then the coach door was banged-to, and the little governess travelled away through the winter's night. In the excitement of an adventure with an officer en route, she allowed her luggage to be carried on in the coach, and arrived at Bracklin, a shivering little object, in her muslin frock and pink satin shoes.
"Leave the room!" roars Count Nobili, stamping furiously on the floor "leave the room, or, Domine Dio! Maestro Guglielmi had jumped out backward, before Count Nobili could finish the sentence. "Enrica!" cries Nobili, turning toward her he had banged-to the door and locked it "Enrica, if you love me, let us leave this accursed villa to-night! This is more than I can bear!"
Iron girders and spacious roofs are the modern fashion; here we have the Middle Ages well-preserved slam! the door is banged-to, onwards, over the invisible river, more red signals and rain, and finally the terminus.
Having obtained permission, she filled and emptied her skirts a second time. But when she turned to enter a third time the door banged-to, and she was left outside. She cried out for her child, and wept in vain. Then she made her way to the priest and laid her case before him. He advised her to pray daily for a whole year, and she would then get her child again.
The boatswain heard a long moan through the roar and whistling of the wind; he saw an inextricable confusion of heads and shoulders, naked soles kicking upwards, fists raised, tumbling backs, legs, pigtails, faces. "Good Lord!" he cried, horrified, and banged-to the iron door upon this vision. This was what he had come on the bridge to tell.
He would never have admitted for a moment that certain doors had been banged-to at his birth, bolted when he went to Eton, and padlocked at Cambridge.
I will not weary my reader with any further description of the evil path by which I arrived at the evil act. To myself it is pain even now to tell that I got on my feet, saw a blaze of shining things, banged-to the drawer, and knew that Eve had eaten the apple. The eyes of my consciousness were opened to the evil in me, through the evil done by me.
Fortunately there was no position of hardship to which the detective was unaccustomed; indeed, to be rolled up in a railway rug in the corner of a second-class carriage, was to be on a bed of down as compared with some of his experiences. He was used to take his night's rest in brief instalments, and was snoring comfortably three minutes after the guard had banged-to the door of his carriage.
"You are a clipper!" said David Tennant, smiling into her face. "All right, my boy; I expect I am," said Kathleen; and then she added, springing to her feet, "I have eaten enough, and for what we have received Good-bye, Mrs. Tennant; I'm off." Kathleen O'Hara ran up to an untidy room. She banged-to the door, and standing by it for a moment, drew the bolt.
Another and another flame curls round the narrow loop-hole, twisting upward on the solid wall. At this instant there is a low growl, as from a kicked dog. A door below is banged-to and locked. Then steps are heard upon the gravel. It is Adamo. Adamo catches sight of the crimson glare reflected upon the fountain. He looks up at the tower he sees the flames.
