Ah, if I had wanted thanks, I should have been more stubborn." Lorna, being challenged thus, came up and looked at her uncle, with her noble eyes fixed full upon his, which beneath his white eyebrows glistened, like dormer windows piled with snow. "For what am I to thank you, uncle?" "My dear niece, I have told you.
I think, in fact I may say I am sure, that we shall pull through now and your money will be safely returned to you." "I am so glad," said Mrs. St. Pierre Lawrence, with a glance at Dormer Colville. "I cannot tell you how glad I am." She looked at the banker with bright eyes and the flush still in her cheeks that made her look younger and less sure of herself. "Not only for my own sake, you know.
The three dormer windows of the adjoining house were gray, dusty, as though they had not been opened for years. He turned to his companion with a look of amazement. "In all my experience, Mrs. Morton," he said, "I do not think that I have ever encountered anything quite so astonishing. That letter must have been placed there while I was in the apartment above. Your cook, your maid, are out.
There was a huge central chimney-stack, big enough for a modern factory, and the house seemed built around it. The second story overhung the first, and in some of them were small dormer windows looking like bird houses. And the little panes of greenish glass seemed to make windows all framework. Cynthia was much interested in the Roger Williams house, and the story of the old minister.
All these pretenders, Naundorff and the others, have proved that quite clearly, but none has succeeded in proving that he was the man." "And do you think that I shall be able to prove that I am the man when I am not?" By way of reply Dormer Colville turned again to the fireplace and took down the print of Louis XVI. engraved from a portrait painted when he was still Dauphin.
The front of the house consists of two large windows on either side of a very rustic-looking house door, and three dormer windows in the roof a slate roof with two gables, prodigiously high-pitched in proportion to the low ground-floor. The house walls are washed with yellow color; and door, and first-floor shutters, all the Venetian shutters of the attic windows, all are painted green.
The northern roofs, however, generally stand in little need of surface decoration, the eye being drawn to the fantastic ranges of their dormer windows, and to the finials and fringes on their points and ridges. § VII. Whether dormer windows are legitimately to be classed as decorative features, seems to me to admit of doubt.
Her life was somehow filled with shy people, and she immediately knew she had never encountered any one who seemed so to know his part and recognise his cues. "How do you know what I adore?" Nicholas Dormer asked. "I know well enough what you used to." "That's more than I do myself. There were so many things." "Yes, there are many things many, many: that's what makes life so amusing."
You ask what has happened since I went away. A great many things have happened which are of no importance. Such things always happen, do they not? But one night, when we were quarrelling, Dormer Colville mentioned your name. He was very much alarmed and very angry, so he perhaps spoke the truth by accident. He said that you had always known that I might be the King of France.
The three dormer windows in the home next door gazed vacantly down at him, their windows covered with cobwebs and dust. The impossibility of anyone making their way from even the nearest of them, to the window where he stood, was manifest. And that a long rod or pole could have been utilized to introduce the letters into the girl's room was even more impossible.
