All were nameless when I saw them for the first time, and strange; but in the days that followed I learned them rope and spar. Vessels from almost every western nation were there, too bluff-bowed Dutch craft with square-headed crews, brigantines from the Levant, and ships from Spain, England, and America.
They were a considerable distance from the main body when we overtook them, and I remember one of the boys saying, "We'll make these square-headed devils pay for what we've received" and believe me, we did. Instead of going home to their supper that night, I'll bet they went to the doctor.
He had found the archway partially blocked, so that an ordinary square-headed door might be inserted, a most barbarous arrangement. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. This arrangement dates from the deanship of Dean Prat, who is recorded to have given a large book-case, which had once belonged to H.R.H. the Duke of York.
It was as though Ferens had stumbled and been badly hit in his fall, but there were no signs of permanent evil in his countenance. He was square-headed, close-cropped, clear-eyed, though his face was yellow where it was not red, and his tongue was soft in his head. Dyck read the paper slowly and carefully. Then he handed it back without a word. "Well, what have you got to say?" asked Ferens.
May, he knew it was inevitable and quite right, but his affectionate heart and spirit of perpetuity, which had an association connected with every marble cloud, green baize pew, and square-headed panel, anticipated tortures in the general sweep, for which his ecclesiastical taste and sense of propriety would not soon compensate.
The door is square-headed, with a cable moulding on the inner and a dentil on the outer edge, and with a slightly ogee tympanum above, in which are an enthroned God the Father with Christ in His lap, two kneeling figures with palms at the sides, and two little angels on the uprights of the throne. On the architrave is an Agnus Dei. Two windows, slightly ogee-headed, flank the door.
I had been about to ask him what was his malady, for he appeared to me the picture of health, and shining with it; but just then a square-headed religious, with small angry eyes and prominent bones, came into the hall, attended by a clerk, a sleek young fellow, who called out "Silence," and was instantly obeyed.
From where he stood Pierre gazed on that gate with its metal panels studded with large square-headed nails, and wondered what it defended, what it concealed, what it shut off from the view, with its stern, forbidding air, recalling that of the gate of some ancient fortress.
At that moment Denny's rotund and square-headed figure passed along the corridor, to which the library door stood open. "Well, if I thrive upon it as well as Denny does, I shall do!" returned Wharton, with his usual caustic good-humour, as his companion departed.
"And whatever she is, there is up sail and after us. If the fellow has a quickish pair of heels, he'll very soon cut us off." While I was speaking, the square-headed sails of the lugger were run up on her short, stumpy masts.
