Upon a high tower within the beleaguered city a man appeared. From his upturned mouth there issued a series of frightful shrieks; uncanny shrieks that swept, shrill and terrifying, across the city's walls, over the heads of the besiegers, and out across the forest to the uttermost confines of the valley.
Many people wondered why a man like Uncle Zed was content to live in the country. The answer seemed to be found in a number of slips: "How peaceful comes the Sabbath, doubly blessed, In giving hope to faith, to labor rest. Most peaceful here: no city's noise obtains, And God seems reverenced more where silence reigns." Once Dorian had been called a "Clod hopper."
Snodgrass first discovered the castle ruin from Rochester Bridge, to the last chapter of Edwin Drood, we observe hints of the city's quaintness or silence; the unending pavements, which go on and on till the wisest head would be puzzled to know where Rochester ends and where Chatham begins, the disposition of Father Time to have his own unimpeded way therein, and of the gray cathedral towers which loom up in the background of many a sketch and tale.
And by grace of the wisdom of that President who himself knew sorrow and suffering and defeat and unjust censure, General Grant won. Boldness did it. The canal abandoned, one red night fleet and transports swept around the bend and passed the city's heights, on a red river. The Parrotts and the Dahlgrens roared, and the high bluffs flung out the sound over the empty swamp land.
A tempest of applause followed. A telegram carried the news to Virginia, and fifteen minutes afterward that city's population was massed in the streets devouring the tidings for it was part of the programme that the bulletin boards should do a good work that day.

I looked at it for a while, and then got myself a cup of coffee and when I had finished it I went to the screen.
He telephoned the Lawrence home and asked for Evelyn Rogers. A maid answered and informed him that Evelyn had left home fifteen minutes previously. "Any idea where she was going?" questioned Carroll. The answer came promptly: it mentioned the city's leading department store "she's gone there to get a beauty treatment," vouchsafed the maid. Carroll was not a little chagrined.
But, with equal propriety, many old names smacking of the English régime were retained, and serve as memorials of the English part of the city's colonial history: such names, for instance, as William Street, Nassau Street, Hanover Square, Kingsbridge; not to mention New York itself. The old Dutch rule, too, remains marked in the city's nomenclature for ever, let us hope.

It was near the death of him also, of the city's finest." By this time, the secretary had regained her usual poise, which had been somewhat disturbed by the irruption of the young man. Her round face shone delightedly as she regarded him.
The buildings along the shore, etched in the transparent air, breathing silently white mists of steam, lay like a mirage wonderfully touched with purplish shadows. The great steel works rose to the south, visibly near, mysteriously remote. The ribbons of fiery smoke from their furnaces were the first signs of the city's awakening from its lethargic industrial sleep.
