Part of it is occasionally cast into iron moulds, shaped like old Gothic arches, only uglier; and the casts are applied in great quantity as coping-stones to the walls and fences in the regions of the copper-works. Although not a very tasteful, it is yet a very useful, and, at the same time, a very characteristic application.
It was not at any time very easy to stand upright, for long together, upon this wall, as the stones which capped it were rounded. Now, when the coping-stones were slippery after the frost, and Hugh nearly blinded with the shower of snow-balls, he could not keep his footing, and was obliged to sit astride upon the wall.
"I think not either." "Might he not have escaped by means of that ivy, yonder?" said one of the men, pointing to the plant, as it climbed over the coping-stones of the wall. "Yes; it may be possible," said one; "and yet it is very dangerous, if not certain destruction to get over." "Oh, yes; there is no possibility of escape that way.
This here is the breakwater supposing the water isn't there and this is the basin cut through the middle, you understand? But I can't get it to look right yet the dimensions are quite correct. Here above the water-line there will be big coping-stones, and underneath it's broken stone." Pelle set to work, but he was too finicking. "Not so exact!" said Jorgensen. "Only roughly!"
House after house they followed me to, until I could go no farther," said Varney. "How did you escape?" "Fortunately I saw some ivy growing and creeping over the coping-stones, and by grasping that I got over the side, and so let myself down by degrees, as well as I was able." "Good heavens! what a dreadful situation," exclaimed Flora; "it is really horrible!"
A brick now," he mused, his eyes wandering again, "a brick I could ha' took kinder, bricks an' sich I'm prepared for, but coping-stones Lord love me!" "But a brick would have killed you just the same " "Killed me? A brick? Oh no, sir!" "But, if it had hit you on the head " "On the 'at sir, the 'at or as you might say the castor this, sir," said Mr.
Sylvia hailed a man attending cattle in the farmyard, and the artist vaulted the wall, which was breast high. The girl wondered if she could do that. When opportunity served she would try. Resting her elbows on the coping-stones, she watched Trenholme as he hurried away among the buildings and made for the village. She had never before met such a man or any one even remotely like him.
See, there is room after room, and a spacious courtyard with a wall and coping-stones and solid double doors to make it safe. And I am sure that a great company is seated there at the banquet, for I can smell the roasted meat and hear the sound of the lyre." Then Eumæus said, "Your wits are quick enough; it is the very place.
My own inwention ag'in windictiveness in the shape o' bricks an' bludgeons, an' werry useful an comfortin' I've found it. But if they're going to begin on me vith coping-stones, v'y Lord!" And Mr. Shrig sighed his gentle sigh, and rubbed his placid brow, and once more covered it with the "inwention." "And now sir, you've got a pair o' good, long legs can ye use 'em?" "Use them, yes. Why?"
Poker o' Moses! and ain't it me own business? Haven't ye spilte my tenderest hopes? And good luck to ye in that same, for ye're as pretty a rider as ever kicked coping-stones out of a wall; and poor Paddy loves a sportsman by nature. Och! but ye've got a hand of trumps this time. Didn't I mate the vicar the other day, and spake my mind to him?
