Above are the attics, which stretch the whole length of an enormously high pointed roof, with two gables and two large dormer windows on each side of it. Under the triangular point of each gable a circular window opens its cyclopic eye, westerly to the sea, easterly on Guerande.
Where Dormer Colville's persuasions had failed, where the memory of that journey through Royalist France had yet left him doubting, the incidents of the last few days had clinched the matter once for all. Barebone was going back to France.
Farther on in this row, opposite the jail of the place, and partially hidden by the thinning foliage of sycamore, chestnut, and mulberry trees, was the hotel. It was the only two-storied building in the village. It had dormer windows in the roof and a long veranda in front. Somehow this building interested Westerfelt more than any of the others.
"There's Tony Gusset, sir, Martha's brother, and he's come along with six soldiers." Waller sprang from his seat, striking the table a heavy blow with the hammer in his excitement as he rose, while his companion, who had followed the example, took a couple of steps towards the open dormer window, and stood there with his lips pinched together and hands clenched.
All these pretenders, Naundorff and the others, have proved that quite clearly, but none has succeeded in proving that he was the man."

That is, it has an upper floor, but the rooms are under a slanting roof, and have dormer windows." "Sounds good to me," said King. "Do you think you'll catch it, Dad?" "I hope so. Some other person has the refusal of it, but he's doubtful about taking it. So it may yet fall to our lot." "I hope so!" cried Marjorie. "At the seashore for a whole summer! My! what fun! Can we dig in the sand?"
Her hands were clasped, her eyes fixed on the stagnant green water over which the dragon-flies skimmed. Coming across the soundless turf, he stood for a moment to look at her. Hurst Dormer was a fine old place, yet of late to him it had grown singularly dull and cheerless.
His wants were few and easily supplied. "Having food and raiment" for himself, his wife, and his children, he was "therewith content."
