Here is a field of flowering corn, the biggest in the world, begirt with elaborate ring-fence, many miles of firm oak-paling pitched and buttressed; the poor gentleman now dead gave you his Lorraine, and almost his life, for swearing to keep up said paling.
The perfect dramatist rounds up his characters and facts within the ring-fence of a dominant idea which fulfils the craving of his spirit; having got them there, he suffers them to live their own lives. Plot, action, character, dialogue! But there is yet another subject for a platitude. Flavour!
I will, however, one of these days ride over the property with you, which, as well as Miss Percival, I have not as yet seen. "`Then I can tell you she is a very pretty property. "`If she were not in a ring-fence. "`In good heart, William. That is, I mean an excellent disposition. "`Valuable in matrimony.
Round the great city, then the second city in England, village was being linked to village closer and closer every day in one ghastly chain of death. What a ring-fence of horror and contagion for all comers and goers to overpass! For two months Thomas de Methwold, the official, stayed where he had been bidden to stay, in the thick of it all, at the palace.
Sometimes the garden might be extended into a park, with fishponds and great abundance of game; Hortensius had such a park near Laurentum, fifty jugera enclosed in a ring-fence, and full of wild beasts of all sorts and kinds.
"`I have had one to-day, thought William, and was almost at fault. `I shall be most thankful, sir they sell horse-flesh by the ounce now-a-days. "`And you pay in pounds. There, William. "`Thank you, sir, I'm all obedience; and I'll keep my word, even if there should be a comet. I'll go and buy the horse, and then I shall be ready to take the ring-fence as soon as you please.
In that Augustan era we descry a clear belt of cultivation, averaging about six hundred miles in depth, running in a ring-fence about the Mediterranean. This belt, and no more, was in decent cultivation. Beyond that belt, there was only a wild Indian cultivation. At present what a difference! We have that very belt, but much richer, all things considered æquatis æquandis, than in the Roman era.
Poor child, what a woe-begone little face it was!" "No, not in England. I met her in Paris about a fortnight ago, but she didn't like me, from the first, and our acquaintance broke off short." There was a silence. Lady St. Craye perceived a ring-fence of reticence round the subject that interested her, and knew that she had no art strong enough to break it down.
My dear boy, I am very much touched by your wish to increase your mother's jointure, a very proper wish, independently of filial feeling, for she brought to the estate a very pretty fortune, which, the trustees consented to my investing in land; and though the land completed our ring-fence, it does not bring in two per cent, and the conditions of the entail limited the right of jointure to an amount below that which a widowed Lady Chillingly may fairly expect.
Glogau has Ramparts, due Ring-fence, palisaded and repaired by Wallis; inside of this is an old Town-Wall, which will need petards: there are about 1,000 men under Wallis, and altogether on the works, not to count a mortar or two, fifty-eight big guns.
