Near the grille, on the side next the bridge, the men who conducted me asked whither I wished to go. Upon my inquiring, in my turn, whether they were at liberty to take me wherever I might wish to go, one of them, a Marseillais, asked me, giving me at the same time a push with the butt end of his musket, whether I still doubted the power of the people?
The house rang like a boiler factory. "I can't stand any more of that!" shouted the young man. "Stop it!" Sacharissa looked about her, hands closing both ears. "Send them away," said the young man, wearily. "If I've got to stay here I want a chance to think." After she had dismissed the servants Sacharissa drew up a chair and seated herself a few feet from the grille.
The motor snorted as the car gained speed, and they were gone. The ancient Marcel, reentering, locked the grille behind him. I was left alone, more astounded than before. The girl's kind speech to the old servant, her gentle tones, her womanly gesture, had been bewildering.
A minute later the grille was opened, and a voice, which they recognized as that of Elspeth, asked who was there, and what was their business. "We come to arrest one Elspeth Dow, as one who troubles the state and is a traitor to his majesty." There was an exclamation from within and the door suddenly opened. "I know your voice, bairn.

"Pardon me, Miss McIntyre." He stamped the check and laid it to one side, "how do you want the money?" "Oh, I forgot." She glanced at a memorandum on the back of an envelope. "Mrs.
The dispute grew hot; my escort was foolish enough to clap his hand on the hilt of his sabre an affront intolerable to a citizen, at the head of fifty or sixty braves from the counter or the shambles; the result was, a succession of blows from the whole troop, which closed in my seeing him stripped of every thing, and flung into the cachot of the corps de garde, from which his only view of his beloved Paris must have been through an iron grille.
Isabel approached this place in a fever of anticipation, for it was none other than the old estate of Juan Moraga, and through a grille in its vanished adobe wall Concha Argüello had held tryst with her Russian lover, Rézanov.
The president walked in past the grille and sat down at the table; by the mere look he gave the young man Britt succeeded in climaxing the succession of the morning's surprises; Vaniman had more reason than the others to be amazed. "Frank, I'm sorry!" There was wistful fervor in the declaration; for the first time in their association the president had called the cashier by his Christian name.

They used to build a wooden grille or grating, raised upon poles some two or three feet high, above their camp fires. This grating was called by the Indians barbecue. The meat to be preserved, were it ox, fish, wild boar, or human being, was then laid upon the grille.
A very handsome modern cathedral, built by the present bishop at his own charges, was the finest of the public edifices we saw; it was not, however, nearly so much frequented as another little church, crowded with altars and fantastic ornaments, and lights and gilding, where we were told to look behind a huge iron grille, and beheld a bevy of black nuns kneeling.
