Up a series of little brick steps, the base of a chimney over the kitchen then across another stretch of leads beneath which is the tailor's shop then, stealing in shadow under the beams of overhanging eaves by a garret window, behind which was a light, and someone moving then a spring of three feet between two cornices then a running walk at a height of a hundred feet along a beading four inches wide, holding on with the upstretched arms then, with course changed from south to east, along more leads then a climb of ten feet up a glazed main and now they were skulking behind the coping of the great No. 2 prison.
He lacks at birth and for a long time thereafter power to make his way physically, to make his own living. If he had to do that by himself, he would hardly survive an hour. On this side his helplessness is almost complete. The young of the brutes are immeasurably his superiors. He is physically weak and not able to turn the strength which he possesses to coping with the physical environment.
What a revolting coping they formed to the otherwise plain round wall. More birds were perched on trees, and on the other towers; and indeed everywhere we looked these disgusting objects met our view.
My neighbor turned from making his man pour a pail of water on the earth round a freshly planted tree, and said, "Oh, good-evening! How d'ye do? Glad to see you!" and offered his hand over the low coping so cordially that I felt warranted in holding it a moment. "I hope it's in order for me to say how very much my wife and I are interested in the news we've heard about one of your daughters?
All this was very laborious to be sure, though not very dangerous; but here was an obstacle that I knew not how the Arabs themselves could surmount, much less how I could possibly master for above our heads jutted out, like an eave or coping, the lower stones of the coating, which still remain and retain a smooth, polished surface.
Conveniently contiguous to the busy centre of a wide and populous city, situated on the shore of one of those great inland fresh-water seas, whose lake line girdles the primeval American upheaval, the Laurentian rocks, stands in the middle of a square, enclosed by a stone coping and an iron railing, a stately pile of brick and granite several stories high, flanked by wings that enclose in the rear a spacious court.
"No," I said slowly, "I'm not. But until you tell me that you know I did not mean what I said, I will not believe that you did not mean to stand upon my fingers." "Are you hurt, lad?" "No. Did you hear what I said?" Silvia stood up, her hands before her on the coping. "You know I didn't." Without a word I stepped carefully out of the car. The pain was intense.
The Duke of Medina Celi, its present owner, is a lineal scion of the old piratical crew. The mansion is filled with the fruits of many a foray. There are plunder from Naples, where one ancestor was Viceroy, and treasures from the temples of the Aztecs and the Incas, where two other ancestors ruled. Every coping stone and pillar cost some mariner of the Tarifa Straits a pot of money.
In fact, the latter have to force themselves to courage, whereas the former's courage is spontaneous. Men do not fear to be alone in a house as women do, largely because men feel themselves equal to coping with intruders, who are sure to be men, while women do not. One of the early signs of chronic sickness is a feeling of fear, a loss of courage, based on a feeling of inferiority to emergencies.
Then he rose to his feet and looked across once more to the stone lion and the broad coping. His soul sang within him, and he folded his arms across his chest. "My wife!" he said. "Oh! my wife!" And, as the village clock struck one, Jane arrived at her decision.
