He indicated that they were to remain where they were; then he went to the shed-like building, closed the door and locked it, placing the key in his pocket. "It would seem," observed Ashton-Kirk, "that we are not to be trusted implicitly." "Also," replied Pendleton, "that there is something of value in the shed." Returning, Locke led the way to a door upon the other side of the house.
The foot sank in the melting mass at every step. The crossings were muddy, and it required some skill to pick our way along dry-shod. We turned into the street, and sought for the number which had been given us. We found it on the door of a low, shed-like building, old and out of repair. "Does Mrs. Smith live here?" we inquired. "No, ma'am."
He was tremulous with emotion as the chairman introduced her. It carried him back to the day when he first saw her. As she rose to speak now, it was in a broad, garish light. No dapple of shadows was there, no rustle of leaves, no green, mossy trunks of trees. She stood on a bare platform facing five thousand faces under a shed-like roof. She was changed too. She was now a mature woman.
To take these she repaired to the little rough shed-like chamber where the two brothers lay for the last time on their pallet bed, awake, and watching for her, with Spring at their feet.
Seen from the intrenched hill occupied by General Wheeler's brigade, it appeared to consist mainly of barracks, hospitals, and shed-like buildings flying the flag of the Red Cross, and had no beauty or picturesqueness whatever; but from the water it seemed to be rather an interesting and attractive Spanish-American town.

Across the block to the south is situated a shed-like two-story building with dormer-windows and a crumpled three-sided roof, the studios of the National Academy of Design; and under that low brittle skylight youth toils over the shapes and colors of the visible vanishing paradise of the earth in the shadow of the cathedral which promises an unseen, an eternal one.
She continued meditative, even when they had reached the KAISERPARK, and were sitting with their cups before them, in the long, wooden, shed-like building, open at one side. She had taken off her hat a somewhat showy white hat, trimmed with large white feathers and laid it on the table; one dark wing of hair fell lower than the other, and shaded her forehead.
In the evening we landed for the night at a large, open, shed-like house, where there were two or three pigs, the first live stock we had seen other than poultry and ducks. It was a dirty place, but we got some eggs. The following day, the 24th, we ran down some fifty kilometres to the Carupanan rapids, which by observation Lyra found to be in latitude 7 degrees 47 minutes.
Farnum and his two youthful companions went, first of all, to the long, shed-like building in which the third submarine craft to be turned out at this yard was now being built. From inside came the noisy clang of hammers against metal. The shipbuilder stepped inside alone, but soon came out, nodding. The three now continued on their way down to the little harbor.
