It had stood patiently there for many a long year, as was evident from the antiquated moulding over the doorway, and from a great iron extinguisher, in which the link-bearers of old used to quench their torches, which formed part of the sombre- coloured ironwork that skirted the area.
At the same time we got out a great deal of ironwork, as bolts, spikes, nails, &c., all of which our artist, of whom I have spoken already, who was now grown a very dexterous smith, made us nails and hinges for our rudder, and spikes such as we wanted.
Dooll, but the mutton good Les Bains de Sextius Ironwork caps to towers S. Jean de Malthe Museum Cathedral Tapestries and tombs The cloisters View from S. Eutrope King Rene of Anjou His misfortunes His cheeriness His statue at Aix Introduces the Muscat grape.
Then followed the erection of the ironwork in the Brooklyn yard; its inspection by the engineer appointed by the bankers; its dismemberment and final coat of red lead each tie-rod and beam red as sticks of sealing-wax its delivery, properly bundled and packed, aboard a sailing vessel bound for San Juan, and the payment of the last instalment.
Here, where the Dragoon Mountains come out into the plain like a lofty granite promontory that faces the sea, the party had completed the walls of a stone corral, within which enclosure a storehouse and stage station were partitioned off. The roofing of these two rooms and some ironwork on the gate remained to be completed.
Lord Borrodaile's fellow-citizen leaned heavily on one of the stout scrolls of ironwork which, repeated at regular intervals on each side, divided the seat into six compartments. No call for any one to notice such a man there are so many of them in these piping times of peace and prosperity.
As we climbed the high stoop, I could see, through the interstices of rusted ironwork that had once been handsome balusters, the form of an Italian woman sitting in the basement window beneath, nursing a baby at her breast. "That's the lady what come up to help hold Fanny Harley," my room-mate remarked as we passed inside. "Say! ain't you got no special gentleman-friend?"
Telford, the well-known engineer, carefully examined the bridge, and thus spoke of its condition at the time: "The great improvement of erecting upon a navigable river a bridge of cast-iron of one arch only was first put in practice near Coalbrookdale. The bridge was executed in 1777 by Mr. Abraham Darby, and the ironwork is now quite as perfect as when it was first put up.
To-night, however, because of the fog, Rosamund expected to find few people. One bell was mournfully ringing as she drew near and presently saw a faint gleaming of light through long narrow windows of painted glass. "Ping, ping, ping!" It was a thin little summons to prayer. She passed through a gateway in some railings of wrought ironwork, crossed a slippery pavement and entered the church.
These were drawn up standing at the salute, with their officers, as we approached. It was surely a picturesque guard of honour, with their quaint, old-fashioned pointed headgear, their smart comic-opera tunics, and their long, shiny boots. In a great high white wall is an elegant gate of delicately wrought ironwork, with the usual striped sentry boxes on either side.
