Canon Pascal laid his hand fondly on her bowed head; and then he left her that she might be alone with the grave, and God. The miserable, delapidated hut at the entrance of Engelberg, with no light save that which entered by the doorway, had been Jean Merle's home since he had fixed his abode in the valley, drawn thither irresistibly by the grave which bore Roland Sefton's name.
There was a hedge right in front and a garden at the back, in which there was a perfect nest of out-buildings: store rooms and cold-store rooms, barns, cellars and ice-cellars; not that there were many goods stored in them some of them, in fact, were in an extremely delapidated condition but they had been there in olden days and were consequently allowed to remain.
A carpet, what is a carpet, a carpet is something that is not dusty, that is not delapidated, that is neither perspiring or draughty, that is not perfect or determined. A carpet is something that, judging from the beginning, from the middle, from the end, is not necessary when there is no necessity for it.
Above it there is a portion of the old vicarage buildings, graced in front with various articles, the most prominent being a string of delapidated red jackets; right facing it we have the sable Smithsonian Institute, flanked with that gay and festive lion which is for ever running and never stirring; below there are classic establishments for rifle-shooting, likeness taking, and hot pea revelling; and ahead there is the police station.
It was, even then, much delapidated, and at Antietam it was mercilessly pierced and torn. The road we finally reached, for Harrison's Landing soon entered a narrow place between two bluffs. Two or three columns were using the road and when they came to this sort of gorge it became almost a jam.
William had been with us about a year at this period not steadily, because now and then would come a day when with sadness and averted eyes he would say, "I think I'll be goin' now, for a little while," after which the effacement of William for perhaps a week, followed by his return some morning, pale, delapidated, as on the morning of his first arrival.
Aug. 19th we passed through Williamsburg, the site of William's and Mary's College and the capital of the colony in the days when Patrick Henry told the House of Delegates that, "Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell, and George the third might profit by their example." At this time the place was very delapidated. As I remember there was but one good looking house.
I now wear only the most delapidated semblance of a Prince's mantle, inflated by hollow wind, but I shall change it into a purple mantle, such as no German Prince would be ashamed of, which every one in the German Empire shall respect, yea, even the Emperor himself." "And you will gain your end," cried Leuchtmar, "yes, you will gain it.
Speaking of a rivulet, he says: "It was crossed by two bridges, one immensely old and terribly delapidated, the other old enough, but in better repair went and drank under the oldest bridge of the two." The book is large and strong enough to stand many such infinitesimal blemishes. Alongside of the sublime I will put what Borrow says he liked better.
In 1853 the Lukens family bought Port Royal House and for several years a boarding school was conducted there. As the manufacturing about Frankford grew, the locality lost its desirability as a place of residence. The house was abandoned to chance tenants and allowed to fall into an exceedingly delapidated condition.
