The windows were kept bright now, and the sills whitened; the doorsteps, which used to be so dirty and neglected, were now kept swept and whitened, too; and the lodgers appreciated the change, and said so more than once. So the days and weeks passed by, and the weeks became months, and soon the months had become a whole year.
There's holes, I reckon, under the back an' sides o' the shed, or barn, or wherever it is that the hens have their nests?" "Nat'rally!" responded Mrs. Gammit. "The thieves ain't agoin' to come in by the front doors, right under my nose, be they?" "Of course," assented the woodsman. "Well, you jest set them 'ere traps in three o' them holes, well under the sills an' out o' the way.
"What you clawin' your head that way for?" he suddenly demanded as Dade continued to puzzle over his problem. Dade grinned. "I'm goin' to halve these sills together. But I'm wantin' to make sure that the halves will be made reverse, so's they'll fit. An' I don't seem to be able to fix it clear in my mind." "You was braggin' some on bein' a carpenter."

The little man came close enough to tread on her shadow, cleared his throat, and almost shouted: "Did you mean what you said? Did you mean what you said, girl?"

Since first floor rafters and sills are usually badly decayed, the general practice is to use new material. So the old ones are left behind.
At other places similar narrow cribs were placed on the rock, as shown at D, Figs 2 and 3. The tops of all were brought to about the same level as the before mentioned sills. The rock bottom was cleaned by divers of all bowlders, gravel, etc. The cribs were built in the usual manner, of 12 in. X 12 in. timber generally hemlock, and carefully fitted to the rock on which they stand.
Our difficulties were much increased by our not being able to trust Waller, or indeed Sills and Broom. Sills, I believe, wished to be honest, but he had no discretion. Broom, I feared, was an ill-disposed fellow, without even a knowledge of what was right and wrong.
X 12 in., each piece being securely bolted to its neighbor and to the sills and cribs below. It was also at intervals bolted through to the rock. On top of the "platform" there was next built a flat dam of the sectional form shown by Fig 1. It was built of 12 in.
Peter Walsh earns five shillings a week by watching over the Tortoise and the Blue Wanderer. Priscilla leaped off her bicycle at the door of Bran-nigan's shop. The men on the window sills took no notice of her. They were absorbed in watching the operation of warping round the head of a small steamer which lay far down the quay.
They turned it into barracks and storehouses, as inscriptions on its walls still testify notably on the sills of the "Miranda de la Reina." Ere they left in 1812, they even went so far as to blow up eight of the towers, the remainder only escaping through the negligence of an employee, and the fuses were put out by an old Spanish soldier.
