A squad of men with a black banner tramped athwart the nearer shadows, intent on conflict, and beyond rose that giddy wall of frontage, vast and dark, with the dim incomprehensible lettering showing faintly on its face. "It is no dream," he said, "no dream." And he bowed his face upon his hands. He was startled by a cough close at hand.
They found it in a forlorn and deserted corner, but there was no trace of neglect about the grey unpolished granite of the cross that marked it. No weeds were growing around it, and no moss was gathering upon it; the lettering, telling the name, and age, and date of death, of the man who lay beneath it, was as clear as if it had just come from the chisel of the graver.
Meanwhile Faith grasped the little packet and began to untie it, forgetting her illness in her eagerness. The paper, when opened, disclosed two sea biscuits the square, thin kind, like a soda cracker and upon each was painted a tiny marine view in water-colors, while beneath was a couplet done in fanciful lettering. One read,
When we find a tile scratched over with cursive lettering possibly part of a writing lesson which ends with a tag from the Aeneid, we recognize that not even Vergil was out of place here. The Silchester examples are so numerous and remarkable that they admit of no other interpretation.
A great murmur swelled up from the waiting crowd, a great movement pressed it forward towards the County Times offices. On the first-floor balcony men appeared dragging a great board faced with paper, on the paper enormous lettering. The board was pulled out endways. The man last through the window took a step forward and swung the letters into view. Sabre said aloud, "My God! War!"

She went directly to the book-case, laid her hands upon the books at once, and brought them to my mother. Mother changed them from, hand to hand several times, and turned them with the gilt lettering downwards upon her lap. "Now, Selphar, which is Miss Sarah's?" The girl quietly took mine up. The experiment was repeated and varied again and again. In every case the result was the same.
A true London of the water's edge a London of theatres, music-halls, wine-shops, public-houses the walls painted various colours, nailed over with huge gold lettering; the pale air woven with delicate wire, a gossamer web underneath which the crowd moved like lazy flies, one half watching the perforated spire of St.
The workmen had uncovered the coffin preparatory to lifting it to the surface; one of them was brushing the earth away from the name-plate. And in the now strong light they could all read the lettering on it. JAMES CARTWRIGHT CHAMBERLAYNE Born 1852 Died 1891 Spargo turned away as the men began to lift the coffin out of the grave. "We shall know now!" he whispered to Breton.
And equally unmistakable is the relation between this Louvre drawing and the Madonna of Solothurn. Yet I am unable to accept Woltmann's theory that the drawing was made in 1522 "for" the Virgin. He assumes that the lettering which borders the bodice in this drawing ALS. IN. ERN. ALS. IN.... and the braids in which the hair is worn are simply some "fancy" dress.
