I could hear nothing, see nothing, yet slowly I became convinced of the presence of something unseen something in the forest close by, watching us out of invisible eyes. A chill, settling along my spine, crept upward to my scalp, until every separate hair wiggled to the roots. Miss Barrison was pale, but perfectly calm and self-possessed. "Let us go in-doors," I said, as steadily as I could.
The place isn't complete without it." "But suppose some one should come along and want to be entertained?" "But no one will. And if people do come, I'll take care of the soldiers and sailors, if you will attend to the farmers and mechanics." I consented to this, and we went in-doors to prepare dinner.
In his gray flannels and flowing blue tie, he looked much more like a college boy than a member of the most dignified of professions. "How strong and healthy he looks!" observed Jarvis to Sally, as they led the way toward the blackberry pasture. "He couldn't have got his education without spending more or less time in-doors, but he must have put in every spare minute in the open air.
This occasional cleanliness is not the thing that a husband wants: he wants it always; in-doors as well as out; by night as well as by day; on the floor as well as on the table; and, however he may complain about the trouble and the 'expense' of it, he would complain more if it were neglected. The indications of female neatness are, first, a clean skin.
Angoul has not been scorched by the sun, like many Syrian girls, because she has sat in-doors at her wheel during the heat of the day. She is dressed in a loose red gown, and a scarlet cap with a yellow handkerchief twisted round it like a turban. At school Angoul is very attentive, both while she is reading in her Testament, and while she is writing on her tin slate with a reed dipped in ink.
Just before school in winter he shovels paths; in summer he turns the grindstone. He knows where there are lots of winter-greens and sweet flag-root, but instead of going for them, he is to stay in-doors and pare apples and stone raisins and pound something in a mortar.
A few days of this seclusion, however, began to make the mother anxious; and so one morning she went into his room. He hastily turned over the sheet of paper on which he had been writing: then he looked up, not too well pleased. "Harry, why do you stay in-doors on such a beautiful morning? It is quite like summer." "Yes, I know," he said.
"I will," said Henry; "there's my hand on it." Then Bayne stepped to his desk, opened it, and took out some letters. "You must never tell a soul I showed them you, or you will get me into a row with Cheetham; and I want to be at peace in-doors as well as out." "I give you my word." "Then read that, to begin." And he handed him a letter addressed to Mr. Cheetham.
In the twelfth century, glass was still an expensive curiosity, and very few private buildings possessed glass windows. Even the castles of the nobles were without protection and this accounts for the eternal drafts and explains why people of that day wore furs in-doors as well as out.
"What has he got his old clothes on for, and such fine ones as he has in his drawer?" "Why should I put on my best clothes this day, father?" "Aint'ee going down to revils?" "True," said George. "I had forgotten all about it. Yes; I shall go down, of course." "Maybe I may. But come in to breakfast. Where's Madge?" "In-doors," said the father, "waiting breakfast mortal cross."
