The nurse recalled very vividly the picture of her patient when she had endeavoured to dissuade him from this second interview his white, rather drawn face and the eyes which blazed feverishly at her beneath their penthouse brows. "You've got to let me see my best girl to-day, nurse," he had said, forcing a smile. "After that you shall have your own way and work your wicked will on me."
"Things are changing, Halcyone," he had said, with the whimsical raising of his left penthouse brow. "Perhaps you will not want to learn Greek much longer with your crabbed old Cheiron in his cave." And she had flung her arms round his neck and buried her face in his silver beard, and assured him she would always want to learn all her life.
"As her beauty wanes so her presumption waxes," he growled. "She is growing old, Tsamanni old and lean and shrewish, and no fit mate for a Member of the Prophet's House. It were perhaps a pleasing thing in the sight of Allah that we replaced her." And then, referring obviously to that other one, his eye turning towards the penthouse the curtains of which were drawn again, he changed his tone.
"Wister's Big House" was the first countryseat in Germantown. Originally it differed materially from its present outward appearance. There were no dormers, and the garret was lighted only at the ends. Across the front and sides of the house the second-floor level was marked by a penthouse roof, broken over the entrance by a balcony reached by a door from the second story.
One lazy autumn afternoon, when the air was as hot as summer, and the flies were swarming about the open doors of the great stables, and before the deep archway that led into the main kitchen, and about the open windows of the knights' and squires' quarters, when the air was still and lazy, and not a sound was heard in the vast enclosure of the castle-yard, Henry and Gilbert came out to play at tennis in a shady corner behind the church, where there was a penthouse that would serve.
"You might get a little of that to start with," Roger said; "but the ground is covered everywhere with fir cones, and there is no better stuff for fires." Taking off his cloak he laid it down, and they both piled the fir cones on this, until a great heap was collected. This they carried into their shelter, through an opening they had left in the penthouse.
Lest the reader should be unacquainted with that unique creation, the coffee-stall, I must explain that it is nocturnal in habit, emerging from its lair only between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. The upper panels of one of its sides unfold to form a bar below and a penthouse roof above, the latter being generally extended into an awning.
However, at last, as I said, I made one to answer; I covered it with skins, the hair upwards, so that it cast off the rain like a penthouse, and kept off the sun so effectually, that I could walk out in the hottest of the weather, with greater advantage than I could before in the coolest; and when I had no need of it, I could close it, and carry it under my arm.
"I remember once you said when I should meet a woman with a soul I should meet my match! I do not feel very alarmed." One of the Professor's penthouse brows raised itself about half an inch, but he did not speak. "In which school have you taught her?" John Derringham asked "you who are so much of a cynic, Master.
We had no inclination to part presently, and therefore turned to stand in a corner under a penthouse, for it began to rain, and immediately the wind rose, and the rain increased so much, that both became so inconvenient, as to force us into a cleanly house, where we had bread, cheese, ale, and a fire for our money.
