When Monsieur de Rochefide first encountered Madame Schontz, she lived on the third floor of the only house that remained in the rue de Berlin; thus she was camping on the border-land between misery and its reverse. This person was not really named, as you may suppose, either Schontz or Aurelie.
The tie between the brothers had therefore been more closely drawn, and Wendot's responsibility for the submissive behaviour of the turbulent twins had made him keep a constant eye upon them, and had withheld them on their side from attempting to foment the small and fruitless struggles against English authority which were from time to time arising between the border-land chief and the Lords of the Marches.
To Yancey, as to the Republicans, Kansas was a disputed border-land for which the so-called two nations were fighting. The internal Southern conflict between these two factions began anew with the Congressional elections of 1857.
Here they were besieged by Caupolican, while Lantaro was given the difficult task of defending the border-land about the frontier stream. The youthful general at once fortified himself on the steep mount of Mariguenu, a fort made very strong by nature.
The pleasant green commons or squares which occur in the midst of towns and cities in England and the United States most probably originated from the coalescence of adjacent mark-communities, whereby the border-land used in common by all was brought into the centre of the new aggregate.
There is a border-land so much still in shadow that no final word can be said about the whole matter, but it is incontestably true that modifications of attention have a reflex in the modification of physical states.
We should remember that what we call natural may have a very different meaning for one generation from that which it has for another. The boundary between the "other" world and this ran till very lately, and at some points runs still, through a vast tract of unexplored border-land of very uncertain tenure.
Grushenka in The Brothers Karamazov is another woman of the demoniac type to which Nastasia belongs. The border-land of puberty is a favourite theme with the Russian writer. He is half cracked and an epileptic, but is one of the most lovable young men in fiction.
I caught myself measuring the doses with my eye, and calculating how many of them would be enough to take a living creature over the border-land between sleep and death. Why I should have locked the dressing-case in a fright, before I had quite completed my calculation, I don't know; but I did lock it. And here I am back again at my Diary, with nothing, absolutely nothing, to write about.
I was very warm, and Halicarnassus said he was tired; so he went into a restaurant and ordered strawberries, that luscious fruit, quivering on the border-land of ambrosia and nectar. "Doubtless," says honest, quaint, delightful Isaac, and he never spoke a truer word, "doubtless God might have made a better berry than a strawberry, but doubtless God never did."
