"Certainly! cer-tain-ly! ha, ha, ha!" backing out of the door "certainly! Ah! Mossy, you are right, to be sure; to make a complete world we must have swords and pens. Well, my son, 'au revoir; no, I cannot stay I will return. I hasten to tell my friends that the pen of Dr. Mossy is on our side! Adieu, dear son." Standing outside on the banquette he bowed not to Dr.
He noticed, however, that a banquette of earth, rammed hard, ran around the inside periphery of the walls, affording vantage for the defenders to discharge their arrows and other missiles over the parapet. But, as Constans quickly saw, this same terrace would give useful foothold to the besiegers should once the top of the wall be gained.
"It would be rather hard climbing for mother," said Mr. Holiday, "to get up to the banquette such a long ladder." "O, mother can get up just as easily as not," said Rollo. "Couldn't you, mother?" "I am more afraid about getting down than getting up," said his mother. "But it is a great deal pleasanter on the banquette," said Rollo.
Along the back a portion of the wood had been left, resembling a bench or banquette, and upon this bench were the objects that excited our terror. Three human forms were seated upon it, with their faces turned towards the entrance.
I couldn't enjoy even <i>The Swiss Times</i>, over my breakfast, till I had marched forth to the office of the Saint- Gothard service of coaches and demanded the banquette for to- morrow.
No one noticed him but Honoré, who was watching for him, and who, by a silent motion, directed him into the private office. "H-whe shake its dust from our feet!" said Agricola, gathering some young retainers by a sweep of his glance and going out down the stair in the arched way, unmoved by the fragrance of warm bread. On the banquette he harangued his followers.
It washed one side of the château, where it had been turned into a canal built like those of Venice, with a marble banquette ornamented with statues and an ornate bridge; but after thus playing the court lady for a short space, the river again became a woodland nymph and ran away, laughing, to the woods and fields.
Smiling benignly at the children, he began to fiddle once more. The little house opposite! Mrs. Temple, mistress of Temple Bow, had come to this! It was a strange little home indeed, Spanish, one-story, its dormers hidden by a honeycombed screen of terra-cotta tiles. This screen was set on the extreme edge of the roof which overhung the banquette and shaded the yellow adobe wall of the house.
And yet I know not how to describe the forbearing, unspoken tenderness with which all these exiles regarded the maiden. In the balmy afternoons, as I have said, they gathered about their mother's knee, that is to say, upon the banquette outside the door.
He will probably be talking with the conductor part of the time, and the conductor will be talking with the coachman, and we shall be amused by hearing what they say." "But there are six persons in the interior," said Rollo, "to talk." "True," replied Mr. George; "but, then, they are usually not so sociable there as they are up on the banquette.
