It was about 10 A.M. His Excellency was sitting out in the street on a stone-bench, under the shade. Some visitors were sitting at a distance, and servants were lounging about. The Governor's house is without the city, in the gardens. It was cleanly white-washed, but small, only two stories high.
It has a stone-bench towards the side-aisles, and above that a base, of the age of William of Sens; so that it is clear that the work of De Estria belongs to the upper part only of the enclosure, which consists of delicate and elaborately worked tracery, surmounted by an embattled crest.... The entire work is particularly valuable on account of its well-established date, combined with its great beauty and singularity."
"Sitting in the sun on the stone-bench in the court, beside the window of the flagged parlour." Eddie Ochiltree Visits Miss Wardour "Bid him stay there I'll come down to the parlour, and speak with him at the window." She came down accordingly, and found the mendicant half-seated, half-reclining, upon the bench beside the window.
One morning, going out from my house, I found some seven or eight Touarick women sitting on the stone-bench at the door. They began to laugh and joke with me; at last one of the elder present said, "Now, Christian, give me some money, and then I'll come into your house." At this delicate sally, all expressed their approbation in loud laughter: the half-caste women are much the same.
In the evening I saw the Nāther, and said to him expecting he would mention it to the Rais, "See that soldier lying on the stone-bench; he is sick, and has nothing to eat." The Nāther. "Yes, he is ill." I. "But he has nothing to eat; can't you get him something to eat?" The Nāther, "Pooh, he must die."
There is one man I tried to lift out of his brain-bog, but he would have none of me, and he is still in his bog!" "Oh! There is one man!" said Aloysius, with a smile. "Yes, good father!" And Morgana left the passion-flowers and moved slowly back to her seat on the stone-bench "There is one man! He was my third and last experience of happiness.
After breakfast visited the quarter of Ben Weleed. Saw the giant Touarick stretching his unwieldy length upon a stone-bench.
There may be a little of the spirit of faction in this; for we see often a person unsupported by the one party, because he is supported by the other party. The Rais speaking to me of this family, said: "Wâr, wâr I can do nothing with the Ettanee." These arranged, the old gentleman mounted upon the stone-bench and took his seat, everybody making way for him with the greatest alacrity.
The principal Sheikh present mounts a stone-bench, and sits down in a reclining posture, striking his spear into the ground, which stands erect before him, as if awaiting his orders. The very first thing a Touarghee does when he stops and sits down, is to strike his spear into the ground or sand.
He sat, high placed on a stone-bench, amidst a semicircle of people, squatting on the ground. He looked very grave, now exchanging a word or half syllable with one, now with another, but continually moving his lips as if in prayer. I met him afterwards in the street, and always found him moving the lips, with his rosary of black Mecca beads in his hands.
