"We must go to school," said Amrei, and she turned quickly with her brother through the garden-path back into the village. As they passed Farmer Rodel's barn, Damie said: "They've threshed a great deal at our guardian's today." And he pointed to the bands of threshed sheaves that hung over the half-door of the barn, as evidence of accomplished work. Amrei nodded silently.
She could not summon courage to face Mrs Plumstead, without knowing what was the mood of the day; and the half-door of the little stationery shop was closed, and no face was visible within. All her father's household, and all whom she had told, were as busy as herself; so that by the time she walked down the street again, nobody remained to be informed.
There is Shane, an active, handsome looking fellow, leaning over the half-door of his cottage, kicking a hole in the wall with his brogue, and picking up all the large gravel within his reach, to pelt the ducks with. Let us speak to him.
Clay followed with the utmost caution. Again her hand found his in the darkness of the landing. She took him toward the rear to a ladder which ended at a dormer half-door leading to the roof. Clay fumbled with his fingers, found a hook, unfastened it, and pushed open the trap. He looked up into a starlit night and a moment later stepped out upon the roof.
The half-door stood open and Easton's car was outside. She stood in the middle of the hall and relieved Easton of the gloves and fan he was carrying. "Good-night," she said, "I am so tired." "My wonderful goddess," he said. She yielded herself to his accustomed embrace, then started, stared, and wrenched herself out of his arms.
The shoemaker stopped his work; looked with a vacant air of listening, at the floor on one side of him; then similarly, at the floor on the other side of him; then, upward at the speaker. "What did you say?" "You can bear a little more light?" "I must bear it, if you let it in." The opened half-door was opened a little further, and secured at that angle for the time.
As we parley on the step with Bark's Deputy, Bark growls in his bed. We enter, and Bark flies out of bed. Bark is a red villain and a wrathful, with a sanguine throat that looks very much as if it were expressly made for hanging, as he stretches it out, in pale defiance, over the half-door of his hutch. Bark's parts of speech are of an awful sort principally adjectives.
He was rather fond of maps, and knew a good deal of geography for a boy of his age, but he knew nothing about this place, and she was just thinking of sending back the letter, to ask the gentleman where it was, when a voice said: 'Try Guiana, or else South America. She looked up, and there were Paul's dirty face and dirtier elbows, leaning over the half-door of the shop.
'You not only could, but you can and you do, replied the hostess. 'Might we speak with you, madam? By this time Miss Abbey's eyes had possessed themselves of the small figure of Miss Jenny Wren. For the closer observation of which, Miss Abbey laid aside her newspaper, rose, and looked over the half-door of the bar.
One of these houses had a little piazza, on which sat two children. From the open half-door and from two windows came light. "That's Hackett's house," said one of the boys. "Thanks, very much," replied the tramp, continuing to walk with them. The boys looked surprised at his not stopping at the house, but they said nothing. At the next corner the tramp spoke up: "I think I'll go back now.
