A breakfast of pork, beans, potatoes, bread and coffee plenty of each and we went off with dinner pails over the hill to the valley, where five tall, smoking chimneys marked the entrances to as many mines.
She had seen neither the entrances to the piscinas nor the twelve-piped fountain, which she had just passed; nor did she distinguish any better the shop on her left hand where crucifixes, chaplets, statuettes, pictures, and other religious articles were sold, or the stone pulpit on her right which Father Massias already occupied.
It showed two men at the main doors, and another at each of the other entrances. Furthermore, it revealed the drop curtain lowered on the stage, and the orchestra men peering questioningly, and not without fearful glances, over the rail which barred them from the polished dance floor. Besides these things Pap Shaunbaum was hurrying across the hall. His mask-like face displayed no sign of emotion.
The permanent marquises, of light iron-work, which are attached to most of the entrances, are serviceable only to those who use closed carriages, and in the rainy autumn. Just opposite the centre of this thronged promenade, well set back from the street, stands the Cathedral of the Kazan Virgin.
The blockade of the coast was part of his charge; and in no way did he think it could be so thoroughly maintained as by occupying the harbors themselves, or their entrances.
For the island of Sphacteria, stretching along in a line close in front of the harbour, at once makes it safe and narrows its entrances, leaving a passage for two ships on the side nearest Pylos and the Athenian fortifications, and for eight or nine on that next the rest of the mainland: for the rest, the island was entirely covered with wood, and without paths through not being inhabited, and about one mile and five furlongs in length.
The entrances on the north of the sea, as far as, but not including, the Anegada Passage, are called the most important, because they are so few in number, a circumstance which always increases value; because they are so much nearer to the Isthmus; and, very especially to the United States, because they are the ones by which, and by which alone, except at the cost of a wide circuit, she communicates with the Isthmus, and, generally, with all the region lying within the borders of the Caribbean.
By placing strong works near the mouths of our great inlets in such positions as to command the entrances into them, as may be done in many instances, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for ships to pass them, especially if other precautions, and particularly that of steam batteries, are resorted to in their aid.
Do you imagine I came in here blindly? There are a dozen men guarding the entrances to the house a pistol shot would bring them in. Put down the gun!" Eyes challenged eyes for one long tense instant, and the man carefully laid the weapon on the table. Mr. Grimm strolled over and picked it up, after which he glanced inquiringly at the other man the ambassador's second guard.
Boards were nailed over all windows and entrances in the condemned building that had been his home. Still, despite the sunrays of early morning impaling through the thickets of branches and into his eyes, he could see the copulative interlinking of shadows distinctly even though he could not see the forms projecting the shadows because they had long ago turned into wind.
