A bartizan, or projecting gallery, before the windows of her parlour, served to illustrate another of Rose's pursuits; for it was crowded with flowers of different kinds, which she had taken under her special protection. A projecting turret gave access to this Gothic balcony, which commanded a most beautiful prospect.
Now when they had gone some way needs must he look back at Belsaye, its battered walls, its mighty towers; and high upon the bartizan he beheld two figures, the one be-swathed in many bandages, and one he knew who prayed for him, even then; and all at once wall and towers and distant figures swam in a mist of tears wherefore he closed his bascinet, yet not before Giles had seen Giles, whose merry face was grim now and hard-set, and from whose bright bascinet a green veil floated.

Here, too, was the buttery, some other small chambers fit for storehouses, and some stalls for horses, all protected by the great bartizan at the foot of the stairs, which was capable of being defended even after the outer court was won.
They will find our inner bartizan a hard stone for their teeth and it will be our own fault, if they crack it before the coming of our brave comrades from Bordeaux!" The open space beyond the walls of Bordeaux presented a bright and lively scene.
As for the whistle, it was gaen anes and ay; but mony a time was it heard at the top of the house on the bartizan, and amang the auld chimneys and turrets where the howlets have their nests. Sir John hushed the matter up, and the funeral passed over without mair bogle-wark.
But the noise attending the first operation caught the wakeful attention of Edward, who, starting to the bartizan, called to know what the matter was. Mysie answered with great readiness, that "she was driving out the cows, for that they would be spoiled for want of looking to."
