"He's right, Bob," said Mr. Brown, with conviction.
To Diana, all this while, the coming or the going, the solitude or the company, even the good or ill humours of her mother, seemed to be of little importance. She lived her own shut-up, deadened, secret life through it all, and had no nerves of sensation near enough to the surface to be affected much by what went on outside of her.
Who are the people who live in that shut-up house, besides you and your Granny, as you call her?" "I mustn't tell you. They don't belong to any county families. Is that enough?" "Why are you so different now from what you were when we were sitting by the fire in there? You are not like the same girl! Are you the same girl?"
But when, with the rushing sound of many steps and but few words, they had arrived at the blank, dark, shut-up Mariners' Arms, they paused in surprise at the uninhabited look of the whole house: it was Daniel once more who took the lead. 'Speak 'em fair, said he; 'try good words first. Hobbs 'll mebbe let 'em out quiet, if we can catch a word wi' him.
But there was no sign of her in those shut-up rooms; no sign of her anywhere in the house, nor in the garden, nor on the eyot at all, nor on the towing-path as far as could be seen. "What can have become of her?" "Well, well," said Mr. Rowles, "never mind; we must eat our dinners without her. She would not miss her share of this cabbage if she knew how tasty and juicy it is."

Maud, disconsolate and cross, had taken herself away to the beech-wood with Walter; the father and Edwin were busy at the mills, and had sent word that neither would return to dinner. I wandered from room to room, always excepting that shut-up room where, as I took care, no one should disturb the mother and son.
The air which is breathed becomes so rapidly impure, that a constant supply of fresh air must be kept up to make the air of the shut-up space fit for breathing. The following are some amounts of space per head which are met with in practice: Shut up a mouse in a glass receiver, and it will gradually die by rebreathing its own breath.
The cottage was shut-up or lent to friends. He went down sometimes to work in his garden and keep the place in order.
