It was plain that in her mind grave problems were being closely studied. "Maybe," she said, at length, "I won't be so very awful as you think!" They had reached the path which led first to the bridge across the mountain-chasm making the rock on which her cabin stood an island, and then, across this draw-bridge, to the cabin itself. She waved a gay and unexpected good-bye to him.
As the corporal thought there was nothing in the world so well worth shewing as the glorious works which he and my uncle Toby had made, Trim courteously and gallantly took her by the hand, and led her in: this was not done so privately, but that the foul-mouth'd trumpet of Fame carried it from ear to ear, till at length it reach'd my father's, with this untoward circumstance along with it, that my uncle Toby's curious draw-bridge, constructed and painted after the Dutch fashion, and which went quite across the ditch was broke down, and somehow or other crushed all to pieces that very night.
I beleeve you; And, to confirme it, with all possible speed I would have you to post thether: from the Borders Make choice of any horsemen you thinck fitt, And, when you come there, devide them into parties And lodge neere to the Castle. Yf Modesbargen Come forth to hunt, or if at any time You find the draw-bridge up, break in upon him And willing or unwilling force him hether.
The scene was certainly a picturesque one, with the grounded boat, the swung draw-bridge, the men laboring to lighter-off the vessel by unloading the coal, the passengers crowding and swarming from the cars, the setting sun over the noble headlands to the West, and the placid river coming out from the dark shadow of the Highlands and sweeping grandly down to Haverstraw Bay.
On one side was the river with the draw-bridge, the Navy Yard and the monument on Bunker Hill. On the other stretched the smoky expanse of Boston with the golden dome of the state house gleaming in the midst of a huge, red-brick huddle. “Did you have a cupola at Pride’s Crossing?” Laura asked triumphantly. “Oh, no—how I wish I had!” Laura beamed again.
It is said that Warwick Castle was never taken by any foe in days gone by. Our visitors drove over the draw-bridge through a gateway covered with ivy, and still guarded as of old, by an ancient portcullis. In the hall of the castle, pannelled with richly carved oak, are religiously guarded the helmet of Cromwell, the armor of the Black Prince, and many historic relics and art treasures.
"The draw-bridge was evidently not lowered, and there were no other means at hand to enable him to effect his object with promptitude. How do you explain this, prisoner?"
But he ordered the moat to be repaired, so that it could be filled and kept full, and he directed that a light draw-bridge should also be erected. The walls of the inner courts were also to be put to rights, and new gates added.
"What nonsense you do talk!" the girl exclaimed, but her heart sank with apprehension as the man stalked down the path. She did not pull the draw-bridge up, at once, but stood there, gazing after him, disturbed. Again he met Layson, still strolling slowly on the trail, busy with confusing thoughts, puffing at his pipe.
The day that heard Huss's sentence pronounced in the white-walled Cathedral of Constance, Edward Duke of York accompanied by a little group of knights and squires, one of whom was Hugh Calverley walked his oppressed horse across the draw-bridge at Cardiff. Life had agreed so well with York that he had become very fat upon it.
