Jane, unsatisfied, asked why her father couldn't use statues for his model and Zura seeing how troubled her friend was for the souls of the undressed, asked with eager sympathy to be allowed to see the plans for the soon-to-be built hospital. The ground for the building had been purchased and work was well on the way. Shortly the roof-raising ceremony would take place.
But hope reigned among his official supporters, whereas depression began to descend over Paul's brilliant host. "They want stirring up a bit," said the Conservative agent despondently. "I hear old Finn's meetings go with a bang. They nearly raised the roof off last night. We want some roof-raising on this side." "I do my best," said Paul coldly, but the reproach cut deep. He was a failure.
Dick never works above two or three days in the week, and spends the others at the Red Lion. He swore, that if the farmer did not give him as much liquor as he liked at roof-raising, he would not strike another stroke, but would leave the job unfinished, and he might get hands where he could.

On this occasion it was a custom to give a dinner to the workmen, with so much liquor after it, that they got so drunk that they not only lost the remaining half-day's work, but they were not always able to work the following day. Mrs. White provided a plentiful dinner for roof-raising, and gave each man his mug of beer.

Blake and the members of the council!" shouted Merritt, jumping on a chair. They were given with such roof-raising effect, that people outside in the street, many of whom knew of the robbery, began to think that the uniforms must have been recovered.
