Dick naturally turned towards the north to see, if possible, what the two riders were flying from. He was not kept long in doubt, for just then a band of horsemen was seen topping the farthest ridge in that direction, and bearing down on the belt of woodland, along the edge of which they galloped towards him. There was no mistaking who they were.
Archie was saddened. That this sort of misunderstanding should have occurred on such a topping day and at a moment when they were to be torn asunder for about thirty-six hours made him feel well, it gave him the pip. He had an idea that there were words which would have straightened everything out, but he was not an eloquent young man and could not find them. He felt aggrieved.
As we mounted upon a surge I saw a giant wave, topping all the others, and coming after them like a driver following a flock, sweep down upon the vessel, curling its great, green arch over the breaking deck. With a rending, riving sound the ship split in two where the terrible, serrated back of the Hansel reef was sawing into her keel.
It led nowhere; it hid nothing, unless it was the yard upon which it directly opened. But that yard! She remembered it well. It was unlike any other she had ever seen in this country or her own. It was small and semicircular; it was shut in by a high board fence except at the extreme end, where it was met by a swinging bridge topping a forty-foot chasm.
The stonework is now of a greenish-grey tone, but in the shadows there is generally a look of blue. Beyond the ruin and through the opening of the great east window, now bare of tracery, you see the purple moors, with the ever-formidable Roseberry Topping holding its head above the green woods and pastures.
He saw no bears, lions or saber-tooths among those streaming hordes. He saw deer of every kind good swimmers all of them with immense, rolling herds of buffalo and aurochs, and scattered companies of the terrible siva moose, and some bands of the giant elk, their antlers topping the mimosa thickets.
But you earth-fettered we shall watch your wings Topping the mountains, battling winds, to dare Challenge the lammergeyer where she swings Down the long lanes of air. And when you take the skylark for your guide, And soar straight up to sun-drenched shores of Time, Immortal singers there shall, eager-eyed, Await your new-born rhyme.
I am in favour of short topping, because the coffee thus more quickly and completely covers the ground, and the trees are more easily pruned and handled, and some planters top at from three to three and a half feet.
But we'll soon get sick of it, and yearn for home. There'll be lots of things to do. We'll take up our position as county people no more of the stuffy old women you're so down on and you'll get into Parliament and sit on committees, and so on, and altogether we'll have a topping time." Doggie had an odd sensation that a stranger spoke through Peggy's familiar lips.
A few pink walls could then be half seen behind the branches, or topping the gaps in the scrub. Within four days the screen in front of Pozières had been torn to shreds had utterly disappeared. The German bombardment ripped off all that the British had left. The buildings now stood up quite naked, such as they were.
