Round-headed windows were employed for landing windows in stair halls, as at Whitby Hall, and in the central part of the Palladian windows over entrances, as at Mount Pleasant, where they became decorative interior features of the front end of the second-floor halls. Elliptical-headed openings are rare in Philadelphia, and in most instances were arches across the main hall, as at Hope Lodge.
A hip-roofed structure with lean-to wings, it is essentially a Georgian conception. Its walls are of ledge stone like the house, broken by a symmetrical arrangement of recessed arches in which the various doors and windows are set, and further embellished by a four-course belt of brick at the second-floor level.
Rough Riders, who had come in their well-worn uniforms, added to the Rooseveltian exultation. Whoever judged by this demonstration must think it impossible that the Colonel could be defeated. After he and his party had been shown to the suites reserved for them, he went out on the balcony of a second-floor room and spoke a few words to the immense multitude waiting below.
In a little room on the second-floor of a London lodging-house near Manchester-square, Brian Luttrell was packing a box, with the few scanty possessions that he called his own. He had little light to see by, for the slender, tallow candle burnt with a very uncertain flame: the glare of the gas lamps in the street gave almost a better light.
In one of the second-floor front windows Mrs. McCaskey awaited her husband. Supper was cooling on the table. Its heat went into Mrs. McCaskey. At nine Mr. McCaskey came. He carried his coat on his arm and his pipe in his teeth; and he apologised for disturbing the boarders on the steps as he selected spots of stone between them on which to set his size 9, width Ds.
James's being the second-floor room in the front, we went down to his room, and put up the window, to see what was the matter. 'Is that Mr. James? said a man below, falling back to the opposite side of the way to look up. 'It is, said Mr. James, 'and you are my brother's man, Robert. 'Yes, Sir.

I haven't seen mine in seven months, and they never wrote. I'll never have the chance again." The steps had halted in the second-floor hall. They were on the last flight of stairs now. The mother's heart relented. "Here," she said, "go in." The bedroom door had barely closed upon the fugitive when a man in a prison-keeper's garb stuck his head in from the hall.
He is back at Brussels late in the evening, September 9th: how he had fared, and what extent of pumping there was, learn from the following Excerpts, which are all dated the morrow after his return: THREE LETTERS OF VOLTAIRE, DATED BRUSSELS, 10th SEPT. 1742. He offers me a beautiful House in Berlin, a pretty Estate; but I prefer my second-floor in Madame du Chatelet's here.
I then dressed, disposed of these things neatly in my coat pockets, and went to the doctor's to dinner. In one respect, Fortune favored my audacity. It was the sultriest day of the whole season surely they could not think of shutting up the second-floor back windows to-night! Alicia was pale and silent.
While the hackney coach-driver was flogging up his horses at Caroline's urgent request, supported by the promise of a handsome present, the timid old women, who had been Madame Crochard's friends during her later years, had brought a priest into the neat and comfortable second-floor rooms occupied by the old widow.
