I distinguished a lintel of elms, a wall of wild roses; I heard a brave little bird twittering impatient matins, and the sound of nearing footsteps in the road. And then a voice in the mist said my name. There in the fog on the Plank Road we met as if there had come a clearness everywhere we two, between whom lay that year since my coming to Friendship.
At the sound of her voice he gave a start of surprise, looked at her wildly, and asked in a piercing tone "You. . . . Where? To him?" "No alone good-bye." The door-handle rattled under her groping hand as though she had been trying to get out of some dark place. "No stay!" he cried. She heard him faintly. He saw her shoulder touch the lintel of the door. She swayed as if dazed.
They lived in permanent dwellings. These were houses, not tents. In Ex. xii. 7, 22, the two side posts, and the upper door posts, and the lintel of the houses are mentioned. Each family seems to have occupied a house by itself. Acts vii. 20.
The necklace round the throat of the right-hand dragon should be noticed. It is surprising that stone lintels are so rare, especially as the corresponding piece, if we may call it so, namely, the sill or threshold, was generally of limestone or alabaster, at least in the more important and more richly-decorated rooms. Decorated lintel, 6 feel long and 10 inches high.
Amber was vaguely aware of the figures of two women one standing in a corner, the other seated dejectedly upon a charpoy, her head against the wall. As he lifted his head after passing under the low lintel, the woman in the corner fired at him point-blank. The Virginian saw the jet of flame spurt from her hand and felt the bullet's impact upon the wall behind his head.
In more elaborate doors the cross lintel is of stone, and the filling sometimes of brick, sometimes of stone, very often a grand single stone being used to close the entire space: the space thus filled is called the Tympanum.
"'Maybe you're right, I replied. 'But how the devil can we open it? "We went over the slab again pressing upon its edges, thrusting against its sides. During one of those efforts I happened to look up and cried out. A foot above and on each side of the corner of the grey rock's lintel was a slight convexity, visible only from the angle at which my gaze struck it.
He lays the foundations, since he permits the pagans to persevere in their heard-hearted falsehood. He places the spirit within man when he grants innate reason in the mind of every true believer. "Behold I shall make Jerusalem the lintel of intoxication unto all the people roundabout." The lintel rises about the door; house is entered through the door; drinking is harmful to the stomach.
On entering the back door he had struck his brazen head-piece against the lintel; the shock had broken the clasp, and his head was consequently bare. As he pulled at the cloak, Henri raised his right arm powerfully, and drove the butt-end of the pistol which he held, right through his skull, and scattered his brains upon the staircase.
With her face and hair dripping, with her petticoat bodice unbuttoned, she ran and opened it. A strange man stood against the lintel seeing her, he opened his eyes very wide and smiled delightfully. "Excuse me does Fraulein Schafer live here?" "No; never heard of her." His smile was so infectious, she wanted to smile too and the water had made her feel so fresh and rosy.
