I believe that he was the only man struck that day in our company, but in rear of the 3rd gun that had been put out of action, a bunch of canteens, hanging on a forked post were all rendered useless by pieces of shell or bullets coming through the embrasure. The Yankee three-inch rifle was a dead shot at any distance under a mile.
Here a table and chairs were set for them in the embrasure of a bow-window, which, protruding over the cross-roads, commanded an admirable view of the converging streets. "The procession won't be here for two hours more," said Yaé, pouting her displeasure. "One always has to wait in Japan," said Reggie.
Marvin, vaguely, and he absent-mindedly followed his son, leaving Miriam Liston sitting in the turf shelter, built like an embrasure in the dyke, and Barebone standing a little distance from her, looking at her. A silence fell upon them the silence that follows the departure of a third person when those who are left behind turn a new page.
Yes; I could hear her scolding, and see some other people sitting whispering in the embrasure, or looking out on the harvest moon. She lost that, and walked away. Then she came back and put down two florins on a number, and lost again, and became very red and angry; then she retreated, and came back a third time, and a seat being vacated by a player, Lady Kicklebury sat down at the verdant board.
There were repeated cries of `Charge! and some man near me said, `If any officer will lead us, we will charge'; and as I was the only one just there, I could not refuse such an appeal, so I jumped into the embrasure, and waving my revolver, said, `Come on, my lads; who will follow me? I then rushed on, fired my revolver at a fellow close to me, but it missed fire.
'I hope you'll forgive my bursting in like this, but' he gathered courage as he caught a glimpse of her averted face 'I can see you realize the gravity of the situation. He found her in the embrasure of the window, and went on with an air of speaking for her ear alone. 'My excuse for being so officious you see it isn't as if he were going to be a mere private member.
I have seen some of these nests, under the tiles of a shed, spreading over an area of five or six square yards. When the colony was hard at work, the busy, buzzing crowd was enough to make one giddy. The under side of a balcony also pleases the Mason-bee, as does the embrasure of a disused window, especially if it is closed by a blind whose slats allow her a free passage.
They were in this vast, gloomy place, sitting together in the deep embrasure of one of the narrow windows as the daylight began to fail, when suddenly they beheld Wenwynwyn stalking through the long gallery as if in search of them, and they sprang forward to greet him with unconcealed eagerness. "Thou hast returned." "Ay, my sons, I have returned, and am the bearer of good news.
One evening it was, I think, in August, 1786 I was much surprised to meet in the salons of this lady, so exacting in the matter of gentility, two new faces which struck me as belonging to men of inferior social position. She came to me presently in the embrasure of a window where I had ensconced myself.
Stars had come out, a fine powdering of them, and the moist evening atmosphere was sweet, even heavy. She stood for a moment in the embrasure of the door, scenting. "Do I need my heavy coat, Jerry?" The dim figure in the tonneau, with his arms flung out their length across the back of the seat, moved from the center to the side. "No, you don't. Hurry up! I'll keep you warm if you need a coat.
