It stood in a pretty garden, surrounded with a neat quickset hedge, nicely shorn. "He opened the wicket-gate without fear, and walked up to the door. He saw a neat kitchen within, for the door was half open; he knocked, and called, 'Is nurse at home? No one answered at first, but soon he heard a step, and nurse's daughter-in-law appeared.
But as one gets nearer and nearer to the wicket-gate there's other company around one than you'll find in in the directory. And that is why I have just come on here tonight. Very probably my errand may seem to have no meaning for you. You look ill, but you don't appear to be in any great trouble or adversity, as I feared in my well, there as I feared you might be.
I know what I will do: I will go down in the road and look at the place for a long time from the outside, and try to think what it suggests to me." "Thank you, miss; and I'm sure I'm grateful for all the trouble you are taking with my small affairs." Down I went, and leaned over the wicket-gate, gazing at the unnamed cottage.
I parted from them at the wicket-gate, where visionary Strap had rested with Roderick Random's knapsack in the days of yore; and, instead of going straight back, walked a little distance on the road to Lowestoft. Then I turned, and walked back towards Yarmouth.
It ended at a wicket-gate, and they found the gate was open when they tried it. "What is your plan?" said Amyas. "I have none. I go where I am called love's willing victim." Amyas was at his wits' end. A light was burning in a window on the upper story; twenty black figures lay sleeping on the terrace. Frank saw the shadow of the Rose against the window.
My father had been absent for nearly a week, but he had promised to return for my birthday, and every moment I expected to see him crossing the courtyard. Presently, hearing old Antonio unfasten the wicket-gate, I put down my brush, wiped my hands, and ran out joyously. The happy welcome died on my lips.
By the wicket-gate leading from my chamber shall I go forth, and if thou followest me not, alone shall I flee from the sight of Finn. And having spoken thus, Grania went forth from the hall. Then was Dermat in sore plight, for he would not depart from the solemn vow that Grania had laid upon him, and yet he feared lest the Princess should not escape the wrath of Finn.
The world always thinks men mad who turn their backs upon it. Obstinate talks practical common sense to him, and as it has no effect, gives him up as a fantastical fellow. Pliable thinks that there may be something in what he says, and offers to go with him. Before they can reach the wicket-gate, they fall into a 'miry slough. Who does not know the miry slough too?

It is strongly defended by art as well as nature, for there are three ravines about it with a stepped path through each up to the Castle. These were defended about midway of each by a wicket-gate and a couple of towers. The gorges are so narrow that there is barely room for a man and horse to get through; the gates of course correspond." "Fine defences," said Prosper. "Very.
