P.C. A581 had gone off duty; but another constable, I was told, had been seen, an hour or so earlier, asleep against the railings, it was a baker's boy who told me, just back from delivering muffins in St. Mary Abbot's Terrace, and had since wandered in the direction of the Albert Hall.
Many of the party did not attempt to get up or out of the staterooms. Will we ever forget the dining tables equipped with metal railings, divided into sections to hold in the dishes? Even then, the eggs and cream rolled over the cloth or into our unreceptive laps, and the way the waiters moistened the cloth in the spots where they set the water glasses in an attempt to make them stay put.
As Stanistreet's hansom turned after leaving her at Ridgmount Gardens, he thought he saw some one remarkably like Tyson standing in the shadow of the railings opposite her door. He must have seen them; and but for the delay they would probably have overtaken and so missed him. And Stanistreet kept on saying to himself: No. Women do not love like that.
But when she saw the broad sunlit road gleaming through the big gates she thought she would go for a little way up there to look at the flowers behind the railings. As she went in a great figure came from behind the newspaper kiosk outside the gates and followed Mary up the road. When she paused to look at the flowers the great figure halted also, and when she went on again it followed.
They were approaching her uncle's house, and already a small crowd of people were collected, reading the bulletin which was hung upon the railings. Mr. Weiss stopped short. "Isn't there any way of getting in without being seen by all this crowd?" he asked. "They'll worry us to death with questions." She nodded, and led him round the back way.

The whole thing had occupied a very short space of time, and yet the effects were very grave.
Its work for the day was finished, its strange, weary song uninterrupted by the mighty waggons thundering up and down its spiral way. Hal paused, leaning against the railings that encircled its centre, and listened. "Hark, do you not hear it, Paul?" he asked. "It is the music of Humanity.
It was probably an undefined idea of some such chance as this which brought him against the railings in the front of Mr Palliser's house; that, and a feeling made up partly of despair and partly of lingering romance that he was better there, out in the night air, under the gas-lamps, than he could be elsewhere. There he stood and looked, and cursed his ill-luck.
Every now and then, he would creep on tip-toe to the veranda railings and gaze out upon the lurid smoke which it seemed to him was thickening over the horizon. When the sun was risen he washed and dressed and went up to the Bachelors' Quarters where Mrs Hensor was already about and gave him tea and food, which he badly needed.
As you know, there's an entrance almost opposite to my house. Well, Murchison, I crossed the road, passed through the gate in the railings, went up to the seat, and found that there was nothing on it." "Were you looking at it as you walked?" "Part of the time.
