In Japan where, save the lower storey, the whole is lacquered red, they are a striking feature of the country. The lower storey, by the way, is decorated with numerous painted carvings. Topping the whole building is the twisted spire of bronze. Like most other things in Japan, the origin and development of the architecture of the country is lost in the twilight of obscurity.
Several times we attempted to leave, but each time had to put back, fearing that the heavy seas we encountered outside would crush in the baidarka, which was carried lashed to the sloop's deck. It was not until early on the morning of April 12, just as the sun was topping the mountains, that we finally reached Kiliuda Bay. Our hunting grounds now stretched before us as far as the eye could see.
And, with Wellington, I am praying that night may come before I reach the haunts of my comrades in arms." "Why, Vic, do you care?" cried Patricia. "Not I! And I think it was just splendid of Adrien!" "Oh, topping! But did you see the gentle Rupert's face? Oh, it was simply priceless! Fancy this sacred car leading a strikers' parade." And Vic's body shook with delighted chuckles.
Reggie Byng passed these minutes, in the intervals of eluding carts and foiling the apparently suicidal intentions of some stray fowls, in jerky conversation on the subject of his iron-shots, with which he expressed a deep satisfaction. "Topping little place! Absolutely!" was the verdict he pronounced on the exterior of the cottage as he followed George in.
The First Lieutenant of the visitors flung his boat-cloak over his shoulders. "Well," he said, "we've had a topping evening. S'long, and thanks very much." Their hosts helped the departing ones into their great-coats. "Not 't all," they murmured politely in return. "Sorry to break up a cheery evening. Let's hope they've really come out this time!"
The wind freshened, and the boat flew before the gale; the running seas topping over her stern and forcing them continually to bale her out; but all was joy, and freedom turned their "danger to delight." They passed several vessels at a distance, who did not observe them; and before sunset the English coast was in sight. At ten o'clock the double lights on the Lizard were on their starboard bow.
Whereupon he was had before Richard Brown, who committed him to Bridewell for a certain time, to be kept to hard labour in beating hemp, which is labour hard enough. The Friend was a poor little man, of a low condition and mean appearance; whereas these two Baptists were topping blades, that looked high and spoke big.
"No," was the reply. The Midshipman watched his line in silence for a little while. "Do you think you sank that submarine last night?" he asked presently. Mouldy Jakes closed his eyes and gave a grunt with an affirmative intonation. "It must have been a topping show. Weren't you awfully bucked, sir?" Another grunt. "I suppose you didn't get a wink of sleep all night?" A vague confirmatory noise.
And if trying hard not to be thought that is "topping the box," I suppose I'm guilty. "You are also not without vanity," Peter judicially continued. "But every naturally beautiful woman has a right to that."
With slow and careful steps, his sagacious steed moved on, obedient to the rein, at one time topping the crest of a rugged hill, and then winding at a snail's pace down the steep declivity, or following the tortuous course of the streamlet through deep ravines, whose jagged and bush-clad sides frowned down upon them on either side, deepening the gloom of night.
