A dropped shovel clanging on the stokehold floor was, naturally enough, the unbarring of arena gates; our sucking uplift across the crest of some little swell, nothing less than the haling forth of new worlds; our half-turning descent into the hollow of its mate, the abysmal plunge of God-forgotten planets.
Hester stood outside in the dark, wet porch discomfited, and wondering how next to obtain a hearing through the shut and bolted door. Not long did she stand, however; some one was again at the door, talking in a voice of distress and remonstrance, and slowly unbarring the bolts.
I went down to the gate, and, unbarring it, gave him my hand and led the horse within the inclosure. "Thou careful man!" he said, with a laugh, as he dismounted. "Who else, think you, in this or any other hundred, now bars his gate when the sun goes down?" "It is my sunset gun," I answered briefly, fastening his horse as I spoke.
The voice was clear and silvery. "It's Miss Haworth! Can I come in and speak to you a moment, Mr. Hegner, or has the meeting already begun?" "Why, it's the young lady from the Deanery!" exclaimed Manfred Hegner in a relieved voice; and both he and his wife began hastily unlocking and unbarring the great plate-glass doors. The unbidden, unexpected visitor stepped forward into the shop, and Mrs.
How did she escape from the house without unbarring door or window? "In the midst of my perplexities, an anxiety of a far more urgent kind presented itself. "My dear child began to lose her looks and health, and that in a manner so mysterious, and even horrible, that I became thoroughly frightened.

This time there was no delay in unbarring the door.
Mabel was bewildered, for there was no time to lose. Hope proved stronger than fear; and with unsteady hands she commenced unbarring the door. The moccasin of June was heard on the floor above her when only a single bar was turned. The second was released as her form reached half-way down the lower ladder. "What you do?" exclaimed June angrily. "Run away mad leave blockhouse; blockhouse good."

With it she could pay a debt that was due, show her father an honourable man, and, seeing that the affair could always remain secret, raise herself nearer to Rawson-Clew's level. Without it she could not. She had come to the first barn now, and, unbarring the door, went in.
Then we work like galley-slaves unbarring, and the blazing sun floods our room. I don't know if bells are popular in Havana; but in this hotel we have none.
