The child woke up from the long-continued pause with a sudden suggestion which seemed to be the outcome of her dreamy fit: "Would you like to go into the kitchen? We'll see if we can get a glimpse of mamma!" "Very well; let us go," replied Monsieur Rambaud. Jeanne felt stronger that day, and reaching the kitchen without any assistance pressed her face against a windowpane.
The hotel seemed the brightest and soundest living spot in the place, for it was painted in green, like a watermelon, with a cottonwood tree growing beside the pump at the porch corner. In yellow letters upon the windowpane of the office there appeared the proprietor's name, doubtless the work of some wandering artist who had paid the price of his lodging or his dinner so.
"If we meet Jeremiah and Grater, we'll eat our cooky quick," Hortense said. "Then they won't be so formidable." "And then we'd never get through the tunnel," finished Andy. However, they kept on along the path which they had traveled before and after a while came to the little gate beyond which lay the Cat's house. There was no light except the gleam of the fire upon the windowpane.
I am sorry that you have wounded Brigard nothing more." "That is too much, because I have a sincere esteem, a real friendship for you, if you will permit me to say so." But Glady, apparently, did not desire the conversation to take this turn. "I think this is an empty cab," he said, as a fiacre approached them. "No," replied Saniel, "I see the light of a cigar through the windowpane."
If the wind was in the east they put the stove pipe out of a hole in the west side of the tower. If it blew from the west the stove pipe was readily changed to a windowpane on the east side. These watchmen were paid $350 a year, practically a dollar a day, and they seemed to have been as efficient as the lately installed electrical appliance.
The house itself was dark, but for a flicker of firelight on a windowpane. "Look in and see if any one is there," Hortense whispered to Owl. Obediently he flew and peered in at the window, returning to say that all he could see was the clock. So Hortense ventured in, finding the house empty as Owl had said, save for Grandfather's Clock. "They're all out, tick tock," said the Clock.
'Tis a good world, and experience should be bought early. This golden lesson I leave in return for the guineas. Believe me, 'tis of more worth. Read over those verses on the windowpane before starting, digest them, and trust me, thy obliged, "Peter, The Jackman. "Raise not thy hand so often to thy breast: 'tis a sure index of hidden valuables."
He began saying the words aloud to himself, but many of them were unknown to him, and the construction of the sentence was strange. He could not get more than two lines in his head. And his attention was constantly wandering: there were fruit trees trained on the walls of the vicarage, and a long twig beat now and then against the windowpane; sheep grazed stolidly in the field beyond the garden.
Coleridge's theory of the Fine Arts presupposes his metaphysic; and it asserts the primacy of the reason. He defines the beautiful as "that in which the many, still seen as many, becomes one," and takes as an instance: "The frost on the windowpane has by accident crystallised into a striking resemblance of a tree or a sea-weed.
New shingles over the hole in the roof, too, the hole that had for six months been the bane of his soul he having no money to have it fixed and no time to fix it himself, and the rain leaking in, and overflowing the pots and pans he put to catch it, and flooding the attic and loosening the plaster. And now it was fixed! And the broken windowpane replaced! And curtains in the windows!
