Braddock descended to her with the reconciling news that a hermit bachelor, an acquaintance of Mr. Redworth's both of whom wore a gloomy hue in her mind immediately had offered a sum for the purchase of The Crossways. Considering the out-of- the-way district, Mr. Braddock thought it an excellent price to get.
The Spaniards prepared to execute the chieftain on the spot, in the centre of the deserted village. For this purpose a pyre was built of logs of wood laid crossways, in form of a gridiron, on which he was to be slowly broiled to death. On further consultation, however, they were induced to forego the pleasure of this horrible sacrifice.
I wanted directions to The Crossways; I had missed my way at some turning. In an instant they were vapour. Diana smiled. 'It was indeed a voice to startle delicate apparitions! So do roar Hyrcanean tigers. Pyramus and Thisbe slaying lions! One of your ghosts carried a loaf of bread, and dropped it in fright; one carried a pound of fresh butter for home consumption.
'Do you remember, ma'am, the cabman taking us to the coach, when you thought of going to the continent? 'And I went to The Crossways? I have forgotten him.

Hitherto he had proved his capacity, and he rather smiled at the repetition of the formula to him, of all men.
"What a... neck you've got!..." And he touched her neck with two fingers. Seeing that she did not resist, he stroked her neck and shoulders. "I say, you are..." "You'd better stay... have some tea." "Where are you putting it?" The driver's voice could be heard outside. "Lay it crossways." "You'd better stay.... Hark how the wind howls."
There is a scent of elder flowers, the meadow-sweet is pushing up, and will soon be out, and an odour of new-mown hay floats on the breeze. From the oak green caterpillars slide down threads of their own making to the bushes below, but they are running terrible risk. For a pair of white-throats or "nettle-creepers" are on the watch, and seize the green creeping things crossways in their beaks.
After each vessel had been rifled of everything worth possessing, and then scuttled, the admiral would order the crews to be, thrown overboard at once, or, if he chanced to be in a merry mood, would cause them to be fastened to the cabin floor, or nailed crossways on the deck and then would sail away leaving ship and sailors to sink at leisure.
