Slimak's cottage is by the roadside, the front door opening on to the road, the back door into the yard; the cowhouse and pigsty are under one roof, the barn, stable, and cart-shed forming the other three sides of the square courtyard. The peasants chaff Slimak for living in exile like a Sibiriak.
'This way, sir; this way, said the burly Mr. Peastraw, leading the way into his farmyard, where a line of hunters stood shivering under a long cart-shed. 'But I can't put my horse in here, observed Mr. Sponge, looking at the unfortunate brutes. 'No, sir, no, replied Mr. Peastraw; 'put yours in a stable, sir; put yours in a stable'; adding, 'these young gents don't care much about their horses.
It was meant for a cart-shed, with a loft above for hay or straw; but the cart had been lost or broken, and there was only a heap of rubbish in the corner, by which the children were wont to climb up to inspect their kittens.
"Ho! ho! ho! ho!" came now from the front of the cart-shed in a regular bellowing cry. "What is it, wench what is it?" cried Farmer Tallington, as he hurried out of the burning house, laden with valuables, which he handed to his quiet business-like wife. "My best Sunday frock! Oh, my best Sunday frock!" sobbed the red-faced servant lass.
"All the wuss for he," retorted the undaunted Betty. "Spare the rod, and spile the child." The village wit was left triumphant, and Julius proposed to return by a cross-road leading into the plantations.

If she had thought it worth while to bribe him so heavily, it was not very likely that she would now herself have set the American on the track of a secret which she so evidently did not want an expectant bridegroom to know. The American d n him! A furious and morbid jealousy rushed upon the man crouching under the cart-shed.
Well, at first, the moon frightened me a little she looked so knowing, and yet all she said round about me was so strange. But I rode quietly up to the back of the yard where the ricks stood, got off Missy and fastened the bridle to the gate, and walked across to the cart-shed, where the moon was shining upon the ladder leading up to the loft.
Pierre closed the boxes regretfully; he left there a hundred and nine guns which he would willingly have distributed; however, he now had to divide the cartridges. Of these, there were two large barrels full in the furthest corner of the cart-shed, sufficient to defend Plassans against an army.
"It is no less than I expected," said the stranger; "nevertheless, I might be received without his knowledge; a barn, a hay-loft, a cart-shed, any place where I could stretch me down, would be to my habits like a tabernacle of silver set about with planks of cedar."
A cart with one wheel stood in the cart-shed; a harrow lay, spikes upward, where he had hollowed the mound of snow. The fields themselves had an unwonted, a haggard sort of look.
