He was no sooner, however, seated, than with an unusual exertion of his powers of conversation, he added, "Jeanie I say, Jeanie, woman" here he extended his hand towards her shoulder with all the fingers spread out as if to clutch it, but in so bashful and awkward a manner, that when she whisked herself beyond its reach, the paw remained suspended in the air with the palm open, like the claw of a heraldic griffin "Jeanie," continued the swain in this moment of inspiration "I say, Jeanie, it's a braw day out-by, and the roads are no that ill for boot-hose."
Round or bean-shaped, pierced for suspension, usually soft stone, e.g. slate or steatite. Sometimes hard, as hematite or rock crystal. Two animals ranged like heraldic supporters characteristic. Obsidian. Natural glass, volcanic, black. Source Melos. Used for knives throughout Bronze Age.
These works proved, to her perfect satisfaction, not only that the Esmonds were descended from noble Norman warriors, who came into England along with their victorious chief, but from native English of royal dignity: and two magnificent heraldic trees, cunningly painted by the hand of the Colonel, represented the family springing from the Emperor Charlemagne on the one hand, who was drawn in plate-armour, with his imperial mantle and diadem, and on the other from Queen Boadicea, whom the Colonel insisted upon painting in the light costume of an ancient British queen, with a prodigious gilded crown, a trifling mantle of furs, and a lovely symmetrical person, tastefully tattooed with figures of a brilliant blue tint.
The old walls of Southampton have been pulled down, or are crumbling away, the most perfect portion being the gateway, or Bar Gate, in the High Street.

Admirable heraldic work was done in Germany by this method; and it is still employed for flag making.
'Lessons should be lessons, and play, play, is one of the professor's maxims to which that poor child has treated us. 'Ah! on that system, where would have been all your grand heraldic pedigrees? I've got them still. 'Oh! Jenny, you good old Brownie, have you? How I should like to look at them again and show them the Gillian and Mysie.

The land no longer yielding anything was put up for sale, money being needed to procure the venereal witchcraft for the besotted descendants of the old races. The less scrupulous and stupid threw aside all sense of shame.
Its lowest windows, raised several feet from the ground, and barred across with huge iron clamps, altogether deprive the would-be inquisitive stranger from the possibility of peering within, the monstrous iron gate, richly wrought with fantastic scroll-work and heraldic emblems raised in brass, presents so cold and forbidding a front that some of the youthful ladies who were Angela's friends, were wont to declare that it gave them a palpitation of the heart to summon up the necessary courage required to ring the great bell.
Banners, by Ryan, heraldic designs of early Spanish explorers and soldiers. Lophantha lawn, designed by John McLaren, trees trimmed off four feet above ground, and trained to grow flat alongside Palace of Varied Industries.
