The apartment in which the worthies were seated was one possessing the advantages of dormer windows, and an extensive prospect over the roofs of Winchester; the furniture was rough; and in the corner a simple couch stood, whereon Mr. Jinks reposed himself at night. While the various events which we have lately adverted to have been occurring, Mr.
Royall, like everyone else in North Dormer, was perfectly aware of her acquisition: possibly he, as well as the rest of the village, knew what use she made of it. She did not care: she felt him to be so powerless that if he had questioned her she would probably have told him the truth. But they had never spoken to each other since the night on the wharf at Nettleton.
A white swan floats in the still narrow channel between the eyots, and there is a punt painted green moored in a little inlet by the lawn, and scarce visible under drooping boughs. Roofs of red tile and dormer windows rise behind the trees, the dull yellow of the walls is almost hidden, and deep shadows lurk about the shore.
The boy ran up the ramp. The old man, handling his musket, was peering through the Northward loop-hole. "What is it?" "Summat up yonder, sir." The boy raced up the ladder. The Parson was at the dormer looking towards the Downs, shimmering now in the fair evening. "What's the meaning of this?" he said, pointing.
Then, instinctively, she dropped on one knee, and before he had understood, or could stop her, had raised his hand to her lips. "Tide's a-turning, sir," said a voice at the open doorway of the cabin, and Captain Clubbe turned his impassive face toward Dormer Colville, who looked oddly white beneath the light of the lamp.
In the morning he had, as usual, run down into the river and to the slip-way, little suspecting that Miriam and Sep were just above him behind the dyke, where they had sat three days before listening to Dormer Colville's story of the little boy who was a King.
Nick Dormer found his friend Nash that evening at the place of their tryst smoking a cigar, in the warm bright night, on the terrace of the café forming one of the angles of the Place de l'Opéra.
Is it true that, when we look so anxiously for help from others, the virtue has gone out of ourselves? I should hope not. As I leave Dublin, the houses grow larger and handsomer; and as I draw near the Avenue, the Mansard-roofs look down upon me with their dormer- windows, and welcome me back to the American community.
Henceforward I need not shrink from a contest with the spruce and fashionable young men who made Foedora's circle. I went home, locked myself in, and stood by my dormer window, outwardly calm enough, but in reality I bade a last good-bye to the roofs without. I began to live in the future, rehearsed my life drama, and discounted love and its happiness.
A dormer window jutted toward the east like a hollow eye, designed, no doubt, and built by Isom Chase himself, to catch the first gleam of morning and throw it in the eyes of the sleeping hired-hand, whose bed stood under it. Isom came down directly, took his lantern, and went to the barn to look after a new-born calf.
