The most conspicuous instance of the employment of this rare type of window viz., the nave of Southwell Cathedral is pure Norman, but the received opinion ascribes these Ripon examples to the time of Archbishop Roger, and it will be observed that their position harmonizes with the bays of the vaulting, which is presumably his, but has no relation externally to the spacing of the windows of the crypt, which, moreover, have an external splay.
A certain Company Commander, picking up his box respirator, found that he had thrown it off into a patch of filth; copious oaths followed, and he vowed that he would murder the next Boche he saw. Some half hour later, as we entered Zorees, a cyclist patrol met us, escorting one undersized little prisoner, splay footed and bespectacled.
She preferred to entertain her friends in the country than to live in town. She knew little of what gossip might run the streets of London; and since Luttrell was, as yet, like Sir Chichester, in that he was not a public character, there had been no wide-run gossip about Stella Croyle or himself which Millicent Splay was likely to meet.
In the very middle of the clear space stood Sir Chichester Splay, one hand leaning upon the pedestal, the other hidden in his bosom, in the very attitude of the orator; and to the silent spaces of the maze thus he made his address: "Ladies and gentlemen!
Let the courts alone do you hear me? Let the legislature alone. Keep your manicured hands off the ermine. And tell Harrington to shove his own cold, splay fingers into his own pockets for a change. They'll be warmer than his feet by this time next year."
Harold Jupp was quite unimpressed by Millie Splay's outburst. He remained severely in front of her, judge, prosecutor and jury all in one, and all relentlessly against her. "And what is his name?" Lady Splay looked down and looked up. "Mr. Albany Todd," she said. "I don't like it," said Harold Jupp. "No," added Dennis Brown sadly from a corner. "We can't like it, Lady Splay."
We were afraid for her afraid for the child that was coming." Millie Splay smiled wistfully. "She had just two weeks with Harry. They were married before he left for France in 'sixteen, and then had another week together in the January of 'seventeen at his house in the Clayford country. That was all." Millie Splay was silent for a few minutes. Then she resumed cheerfully: "But she is better now.
It was Swedenborg's account of the other worlds, Heaven and Hell. He closed it on his finger as I entered, and without recollecting to remove his hat, he made a step or two towards me with his splay, creaking boots. With a quick glance at the door, he said 'Glad to see you alone for a minute very glad. But his countenance, on the contrary, looked very anxious.
"They will not be necessary," he replied. "I can manage to cut a way across the last board but one." "Why not the last?" I asked. "Not enough room to work. I shall try to cut in a sloping way to splay the board if I can, so that it will fit better when we put it back if we get one out. Hush! don't talk."
This is Sir Christopher Splay speaking," and he delivered his message. "Thank you very much," said Sir Chichester as he hung up the receiver. "Really most courteous people. Yes, most courteous. What is their number, Stella? I must remember it." Stella read it out again. "Gerrard, one, six, two, double three," and thus she, too, committed the number to memory.
