I rapped, but there being no one there, I entered, switched on the light, and there upon the table found the small pile of new, cloth-bound six-shilling novels, held together with a strap of webbing, such as lawyers use to tie up their papers. I took them up, switched off the light, and carried them downstairs to the car, which I had previously brought out into the stable-yard.
This time the echoes had not died out skyward before a dark face with cloth-bound forehead peered down from the brink of the cross cliff. Slade roared up an angry command and abruptly fell silent.

We'll give the gang fifteen minutes more to eat their grub." Close to the verandah stood a big night~gong, never used except for flood, or fire in the village. Hitchcock had called for a fresh horse, and was off to his side of the bridge when Findlayson took the cloth-bound stick and smote with the rubbing stroke that brings out the full thunder of the metal.

He offered him the best seat at the table. Roden was taking his books from a safe huge ledgers bound in green pigskin, slim cash-books, cloth-bound journals. He named them as he laid them on the table before Mr. Wade. Major White looked at the great tomes with solemn and silent awe. Mr. Wade was already fingering his gold pencil-case.

The drawer of the dressing-table was still open, and there was visible in it the object she was really in search of, when the little leathern case caught her eye a small cloth-bound book marked "Diary."
You quickly thrust aside, one by one, or by the half-dozen, all the volumes which are not green, cloth-bound, thin duodecimos, without so much as glancing at them.
