There are grand houses that one sees at once will never be comfortable, and there are unpretentious houses that promise to be cool in summer and warm in winter and restful all the year round: of such was Chilmark vicarage, sunning itself in the afternoon clearness, while faded green sunblinds filled the interior with verdant shadow, and the smell of sweetbrier and Japanese honeysuckle breathed round the rough-cast walls.
How much provision for the sick and the aged, the widow and the orphan, has been expended in the attempt to get wages which the manufacturer cannot afford them, with any profitable chance of selling his commodity? I had a bad fall last night coming home. Never was there such a representative of Wall in Pyramus and Thisbe I was absolutely rough-cast.
She was helped into the buggy by Andrew Zane, and in a few minutes the two were in the open country pointing toward old Frankford. They rode up the long stony street of that old village, whose stone or rough-cast houses suggested the Swiss city of Basle whence the early settlers of Frankford came.
"I hate these rough-cast witch-findings 'tis not a matter for man's judgment, unless 'tis sworn and proven in court before the Justiciary." "Nay," joined in an old man, "what need of a Justice when God speaks? We did but thole her to the river to see if she would sink or swim.

The fisher cottages are quite pretty, with thatched or red-tiled roofs, white or buff rough-cast walls, green painted doors and windows, with black painted foundations which protect them from the sand.
