As you may like to know why and that's due to you and me both of us all I can say is, the Black Muzzle yonder lying got his settler for merry-making with this peaceful maiden here, without her consent an offence in my green island they reckon a crack o' the sconce light basting for, I warrant all company present, and he nodded sharply about.
On either hand squares of blackness proclaimed the open doors of large, empty rooms, and down the stair came a wind that bent the weak flame. The negro took the light from the hand of the man who had opened the door, and, pressing past his master, lit three candles in a sconce upon the wall. "Yo' room's all ready, Marse Duke," he declared.
Instantly the other officer was down beside him. "Stand back, now," they yelled. "Get out of this. What the hell do you mean? Out, now." It was like a small swarm of bees. "Don't shove me," said one of the strikers, determinedly. "I'm not doing anything." "Get out of this!" cried the officer, swinging his club. "I'll give ye a bat on the sconce. Back, now."

But the appearance of one body of Statistics invariably brought up another; and the strokes and counterstrokes were like a play of quarter-staff on the sconce, to knock all comprehension out of Skepsey.
Still, however, the Captain insisted, not withstanding the triumphant air with which Sir Duncan pointed out his defences, that a sconce should be erected on Drumsnab, the round eminence to the east of the castle, in respect the house might be annoyed from thence by burning bullets full of fire, shot out of cannon, according to the curious invention of Stephen Bathian, King of Poland, whereby that prince utterly ruined the great Muscovite city of Moscow.
Newville took his gold-headed cane from its place in the hall, adjusted his wig at the mirror under the sconce, put on his gold-laced hat and walked leisurely, as became his majesty's commissioner of imposts, along Tremont Street to Queen, thence past the jail, the Town House, the pillory and the stocks, to his office in the Custom House.

He had built a fort, which then and long afterwards bore his name-Schenken Schans, or Schenk's Sconce at that important point where the Rhine, opening its two arms to enclose the "good meadow" island of Batavia, becomes on the left the Waal, while on the right it retains its ancient name; and here, on the outermost edge of the republic, and looking straight from his fastness into the fruitful fields of Munster, Westphalia, and the electorate, the industrious Martin devoted himself with advantage to his favourite pursuits.
"Truly," said the soldier, "your lord and lady have some cause for fast and humiliation. Nevertheless, I will venture to pronounce, that if he had taken the advice of any experienced soldier, having skill in the practiques of defending places of advantage, he would have built a sconce upon the small hill which is to the left of the draw-brigg.
