This well enclosed in a stone well-house surmounted by a very ancient crucifix is in the centre of the court-yard, and it also is the centre of a little domestic world.
The following report on one of these 16-foot mills, running in northern Illinois, may be of interest: This mill stands between the house and barn. A connection is made to a pump in a well-house 25 feet distant, and is also arranged to operate a churn and washing machine. By means of sheaves and wire cable, power is transmitted to a circular saw 35 feet distant.
All was still, and yet I started once, and could not help looking round over my shoulder, for it seemed as if I was not alone in the well-house; and though I could see no one, yet I had a fancy of a tall black-bearded man, with coppery face, chasing another round and round the well-mouth. Both vanished from my fancy just as the pursuer had his hand on the pursued; but Mr.
Then the pale, beast eyes shifted under the steady, dominating gaze of the blue human ones; and at last, with a spitting growl, which ended in a hoarse screech of rage, the big cat bounded aside and whisked behind the well-house. The next moment it was again among the sheep, where they huddled incapable of a struggle.
The end of the fray, which was "foughten very hardilie on both sides ane long space," was that Arran's men were driven down the side of the hill through the narrow wynds that led from the High Street towards the wall, and thence made their way out through some postern, or perhaps at the gate near the Well-house Tower, where the little well of St.
There were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.
"What are you laughing at?" said Glyn, tightening his hold on the boy's shoulders. The little fellow squirmed. "It it it it it," he stuttered "it does tickle me so!" "There, there! Steady, steady!" said Glyn. "No nonsense, or I shall send you out of the well-house." "No, no; please don't, Severn," whispered the boy excitedly. "Let me stay, please. I do so want to see."
"Hunting a poor old woman as if she were a wild animal? Go back to your work. She'll never dare to show her face while you are all about!" "She's left the well-house, sir, and, we think, she's got into the big barn," explained one of the lads, with the feeling that Mr. Max himself would want to join in the chase when he knew that the game was to hand.
Wetherell seemed very much broken in health and spirits, and after hearing this story I did not wonder that the blows of Providence had weakened her hold on life. Samanthy was very shy of me at first, but after a few days she would talk in her disjointed way with me. One morning I was out in the well-house.
Here our guide took another key, and, while the door was being opened, Elzevir whispered to me, 'It is the well-house, and my pulse beat quick to think we were so near our goal. The building was open to the roof, and the first thing to be seen in it was that tread-wheel of which Elzevir had spoken.
