They came afterwards to the conclusion that she had arrived, probably half-drunk, the night before, and passed it in one of the outhouses. "Yer legs maun be langer nor they luik than, wuman," said Jean, glancing at the lower part of the stranger's person. The woman only laughed a laugh without any laughter in it. "What's yer wull, noo 'at ye are here?" continued Jean with severity.
It stood so deep in the water that only the upper windows were visible. The chimneys and roofs of some of the outhouses formed, with the main building and a few tree-tops, a small Archipelago. "You are fery kind, Mr Ruvnshaw," said Angus from an upper window, beneath which the canoe floated.
He found Mabel by the window of their sitting-room, looking out at the houses across the river, which were now palely clear in the cold moonlight, their lights extinguished, and only a pane glittering here and there in some high dormer window, while the irregular wooden, galleries and hanging outhouses were all thrown up vividly by the intense shadows.
At least their barns might be left them. "Barns," said Maurice, "barns and outhouses! Are we to preach in barns? The churches belong to us, and we mean to have them too." Not long afterwards the Stadholder, clapping his hand on his sword hilt, observed that these differences could only be settled by force of arms.
When they reached the house she turned to the old man with Southern courtesy: "Won't you come in, sir, and rest a few minutes?" The strange, blue-gray eyes glanced restlessly toward the hill and he signaled his sons: "Rest awhile, boys." Frederick and Oliver sat down on a pile of logs. Salmon and Owen, at a nod from their father, wandered carelessly toward the stable and outhouses.
There were no fireplaces, the range of the thermometer on the island being from 55 degrees to 85 degrees, and all cooking operations were performed in detached outhouses and ovens. In the chief of these cottages might have been found, among the many miscellaneous objects of use and ornament, two articles which lay apart on a shelf, and were guarded by Young and Adams with almost reverential care.
By dint of great exertion, a small lusthaus, or country villa of some wealthy citizen of Liege, was secured and cleared of other occupants, for the accommodation of the Duke and his immediate attendants; and the authority of D'Hymbercourt and Crevecoeur at length established a guard in the vicinity, of about forty men at arms, who lighted a very large fire, made with the timber of the outhouses, which they pulled down for the purpose.
But he kept his eyes on hers, and she did not dare to look up. Then he put down the axe, saying: "Let us go in to mother!" On the way he asked one or two questions about things up at the soeter, and got satisfactory answers. "Now Hans sees us going in," thought Mildrid, as they passed a gap between the barn and some of the smaller outhouses.
Recently the farm was shelled and the Berks Colonel, then in occupation, quitted it in favour of a two-storied house called Carvin. In the domed cellar of Baquerolle Farm an old-fashioned building looking out across a wide midden to numerous cowsheds and outhouses were usually the headquarters of C or D Companies and the Trench-Mortars. This farm was freely shelled.
"Yes, there will be ructions of a highly-coloured and interesting description." "We must do what we can," said Phillips with a shrug of his shoulders. "It isn't much, of course," and for the next two hours the twenty-five Sikhs were kept busy. The doors were barricaded, the shutters closed upon the windows and loopholed, and provisions were brought in from the outhouses.
