The only light in the cell-like room into which he had been thrust came in through a narrow window high up and far out of his reach, a window small like those in a prison cell. "It was not a pleasant situation in which little Francois found himself, but what fears he had were for the people of his village and the French troops there.
Instead, he shook his head in mournful dubiousness ... indicating that he doubted my story, and insinuating that I had not come by my suit honestly; as well as by the new dress suitcase Saunders had presented me with, and the shirts and underclothing. "God knows where you'll end up, Johnny." At the Mills Hotel I was perched in a cell-like corner room, high up. The room smelt antiseptic.
The location of these nuclei at comparatively regular intervals suggested that they are found in definite compartments of the tissue, as Schleiden had shown to be the case with vegetables; indeed, the walls that separated such cell-like compartments one from another were in some cases visible.
Upon this doubly comforting conclusion I bade them good-night, and betook me to the cell-like room allotted me to sleep. Over the Snow. I found myself in a snow grotto beyond which nothing was visible. He then imparted to me the cheerful news that the watchman had changed his mind, and now refused to set out with us.
There were no students now at the University. In the white-pillared rotunda surgeons held council and divided supplies.

The waiting-lady of the bedchamber slept in the ante-room of her mistress; the others, however high their rank, were closely herded together up a winding stair leading to a small passage, with tiny, cell-like recesses, wherein the demoiselles slept, often with their maids, and then dressed themselves in the space afforded by the passage.
His personal servant in these cell-like quarters was a lay brother from his society a big ungainly boy with sprawling features who served him and loved him and looked up to him with the devotion of a dog. A dog of other kind he had also a bloodhound, whose affection for him was a terror to all who awakened its jealousy or provoked its master's wrath.
That which he had unnaturally dreaded and shrunk from in his thought he seemed to be now forced unnaturally to suffer. The Father prayed for his friend that night before the little, humble altar in the barely-furnished, cell-like chamber where he slept.
