"A good notion," said Foy, and they lifted off the narrow oaken door and propped it up on four moulds of metal across the threshold, weighting it with other moulds. Also they strewed the floor of the landing with three-pound shot, so that men in a hurry might step on them and fall. Another thing they did, and this was Foy's notion.
Foy's class-rooms; and what was to hinder all the three from having an expedition together in the fine summer weather to Hampton Court, or Kew, or the Crystal Palace, thus celebrating May's visit to town, and making the most of Annie's holiday?
"Adrian is not as other men are, and ought not to be measured by the same rule," said Lysbeth, almost repeating Foy's words. "So I have been told before, wife, though I, who have but one standard of right and wrong, find the saying hard. But so be it.
