Siward, at his desk, the May sunshine pouring over him, sat conning the heaps of typewritten sheets, striving to see between the lines some sign of fortune for his investments, some promise of release from the increasing financial stringency, some chance of justice being done on those high priests who had been performing marvellous tricks upon their altar so that by miracle, mine and thine spelled "ours," and all the tablets of the law were lettered upside down and hind-side before, like the Black Mass.
A pretty young woman, in a long white gown, whose cap looks like magnified butterflies' wings turned upside down, sits on a low seat before the blazing wood-fire burning on great andirons in a wide fireplace, which, instead of a mantelpiece, has three niches for ornamental vases.
Many houses here and there along Red Bank Creek were turned upside down, some of them floating clear away, while the more secure ones were flooded with water clear into the second floors. Many of the smaller cottages and shanties were covered, leaving only the peaks of the roofs sticking out to show the spots that families had but a few hours before called home.
The mob turned all the rooms upside down, and yet it could not find them. The old man must certainly know where they were stowed away. But Hétfalusy would not betray his son-in-law or the doctor.

When, after Thermidor, the master returns to his own roof it is generally to an empty house; in this or that habitation in the Morvan, the removal of the furniture is so complete that a bin turned upside down serves for a table and chairs, when the family sit down to their first meal. In the towns the embezzlements are often more brazenly carried out than in the country.
Well, it will give us a fresh interest, my dear, for as long as it lasts." Georgiana thought it would. She was up betimes next morning, to begin the sweeping and dusting and general turning upside down of the long-unused upper front room. In the course of her window washing, her shoulders enveloped in an old red shawl, she was vigorously hailed from below. "Ship ahoy!
Every visible thing is presented to the retina of the eye, the looking- glass of the brain, upside down, and it is by study that begins at birth, and is finished ere remembrance commences, that the child of God and man is able to detect the true relation of material things to himself.
I never thought of it, but it's turned the country upside down and made a million people into 'rubber tramps' this having to have fresh green stuff in winter." "The owners couldn't handle their crops without the million workers coming in just when they're ready to harvest," Daddy continued the tale. . . .
Always be sure to have on a convenient table, if your doctor be of a homoeopathic school, a little covered tray, and on it two glasses, clean, and turned upside down to keep them from dust, teaspoons and covers for the glasses, also a small pitcher of fresh water.
