But you never had much bringing up, though you do 'live in a house with a gambrel roof," retorted Ben, sarcastically quoting Sam's frequent boast; then he walked off, much disgusted with the ingratitude of man. Sam forgot his manners, but he remembered his promise, and kept it so well that all the school wondered.
That while they talk so much of the godlike nature of man, they should so forget the human natures of men! The Flathead Indian squeezes the child's skull between two boards till it shapes itself into a kind of gambrel roof against the rain, the readiest way, perhaps, of uniforming a tribe that wear no clothes. But does he alter the inside of the head? Not a hair's-breadth.
The weeds had choked the formal garden that once grew before the front door. And the house I had often pictured that house in my memory with its great arched doorway, its small-paned windows and its gambrel roof. Once it had seemed to me a massive and majestic structure. Now those ten years had made it shrink to a lonely, crumbling building that overlooked the harbor mouth.
Whenever you see a house with a gambrel roof, you may be almost positive that the house is at least a hundred years old, for the gambrel roof went out of fashion after the Revolution. On the corner of Daniel and Chapel streets stands the oldest brick building in Portsmouth the Warner House.
