Winder's brigade came also and took position on the heights commanding Lewiston, and Taliaferro's swung across the bridge and formed upon the townward side of South Fork. Shields halted. All day he halted, listening to the guns at Cross Keys. Sitting Little Sorrel at the northern end of the bridge, Stonewall Jackson watched Taliaferro's men break step and cross.
As I have already stated, the townward movement of the proprietors was strongest in the barren Northern provinces. In the province of Olonetz, for example, they have already parted with 87 per cent. of their land. The habit of mortgaging and selling estates does not necessarily mean the impoverishment of the landlords as a class.
"Does that satisfy you?" he asked sullenly. "We'll say no more about it," replied Davis. By-and-by. "Captain Tom is coming." The old calaboose, in which the waifs had so long harboured, is a low, rectangular enclosure of building at the corner of a shady western avenue and a little townward of the British consulate.
Halfway across the campus she met her grandfather's caller, hurrying townward. He lifted his hat, and Sylvia paused a moment to ask if he had found her grandfather. "Yes; thank you. My business didn't take much time, you see. I'm sorry I put you to so much bother." "Oh, that was nothing." "Is that new building the college library?" "Yes," replied Sylvia. "Are you a Madison man?" "No.
"Don't you worry, I'll be there when y'u hang that guy they caught last night," he told them with a grin. From time to time he met others. All travel seemed to be headed townward. There was excitement in the air.
"I I can't let you, why, ma'am, that's the hand I I held the knife in," she cried, agitatedly. Rachel gripped the hand more firmly. "I know it is, Moll," she said calmly. The grewsome cavalcade wended its way townward. Moll Hawk sat between the sheriff and Cyrus Allen on the springless board that served as a seat atop the lofty sideboards of the wagon.
While one in straits on the townward bridge did not mind who saw him so, and kept his back to the parapet to survey the passers-by, one in straits on this never faced the road, never turned his head at coming footsteps, but, sensitive to his own condition, watched the current whenever a stranger approached, as if some strange fish interested him, though every finned thing had been poached out of the river years before.
I trudged townward, light-hearted ... a poem began to come to me before I had gone a mile ... at intervals I sat down and wrote a few lines.... That fall the National Magazine printed The Threshers and The Harvest and The Cook-Shack, three poems, the fruit of that work. All three written on the road as I walked back to town ... and all three didactic and ridiculous in their praise of the worker.
Then as now it arose boldly a half mountain densely verdurous, leaving barely space enough for a roadway around its base. Then as now a descending terrace of easy grade and lined with rock pine trees of broadest umbrella tops, slashed its whole townward front.
The reader sees, in general, a fine symmetrical Block of Buildings, standing in rectangular shape, in the above locality; about two hundred English feet, each, the two longer sides measure, the Townward and the Lakeward, on their outer front: about a hundred and thirty, each, the two shorter; or a hundred and fifty, taking in their Towers just spoken of.
