The warder admitted them both to Kitty's cell, and left them alone with her.
There was some difficulty with the warder at the door, as the permission to see the prisoner was only made out in the name of M.
When the women reached Paula's cell their hearts throbbed painfully, for within the door which the warderunlocked anguish and despair must dwell.
He expressed his thanks in a few low chords overflowing with yearning and passion; then all was still, for the warder had forbidden him to sing or play at night and he dared not risk losing the man's favor.
But then the music ceased and a conversation began between the warder and her fellow-prisoner.
On the previous day the chief warder had acceded without demur to her wish to see Paula, for the Kadi had enjoined him to show her and Orion all possible courtesy, but the Vekeel's threats made him now refuse to admit Dame Joanna.
Then the warder spoke his name; they were talking of her deceased uncle; and now, as if in obedience to some sign, they lowered their voices.
Two lamps were borne in front of the new-comers, and by their light the warder recognized John, the new Bishop of Memphis, who had often been here before now to console prisoners.
Mary joyfully took possession of the ring; but presently, when the warder appeared to fetch her, her satisfaction suddenly turned to no less vehement grief, and she took leave of Orion as if they were parting for ever.
He took the warder by the throat, just like the Bold Buccleugh in “Kinmont Willie,” and chucked him right off the roo—ramparts into the gore.
The morning he suffered his terrible sentence, ere yet it was day, the warder entered and said: 'Come!
He was of the stock of bronze, of the men sprung from ash-trees, the last left among the sons of the gods; and the son of Cronos gave him to Europa to be the warder of Crete and to stride round the island thrice a day with his feet of bronze.
And from that sport of the heroes such scoffs do the women fling at the men in that island whenever they propitiate with sacrifices Apollo the gleaming god, the warder of Anaphe.
The warder scratched his head, and bethinking himself that Eastcheap Jockey was the reverend.
The chief warder himself, who had a fine garden and poultry yard, stole the wine and soft bread issued for the sick.
In the stone yard they simply work when they see the warderis observing them.
Quarrelsome and of hasty temper, they might be cowed into good order, but were ever ready to break out and resist authority, to assault a warder or strike down a fellow convict with pick or shovel, or the first weapon that lay to hand.
The little stir, the scuffle of the moving feet, the two men in motion about the still figure in the chair, lasted for a little longer; then the warder uttered a stifled cry.
The warder who was standing rushed to fill it out, while Dr.
The doctor gave some brief, quick directions, and with the help of the warder lifted the helpless figure, all fallen upon itself like a ruined house, with difficulty to the bed.
The warder who had been poor Jim’s chief guardian broke forth into a sudden loud outburst, like a child’s, of crying.
Now having left them a most comfortable dinner, or supper, and which answered for both; with a bottle or two of vin du pays, and some true and veritable Rhenish wine, the warder of the citadel wished his inmates a good night.
The next morning by times the warder arrived, and introduced a plentiful and excellent breakfast, not forgetting some excellent Malines ham, in the digestion of which they had been so rudely interrupted at the inn of the old Saint Michael.
Part of the time he was himself a prisoner in his castle--and a not very sanitary or comfortable prison it was--and at other times he was acting as warder over some other lord whom he had besieged.
The warder will report to the head warder, who will report to the Governor.
Between the two boxes there is space for a warder to move.
Some people can manage those under them better than others; but not infrequently the prisoner is neither a malicious person nor the warder a stupid person, and yet they cannot get on together.
Pressed behind the two heavy open leaves of the gates stood the warder and his assistants, scarcely breathing, ready to close the gates sharply the moment the last monk had entered.
The warder remained silent, and supported him as he tottered along under the shade of the horse-chestnuts.
But thirty-five years later, when Warder had removed to Washington and become noted among its social entertainers, his investment had multiplied itself very nearly two hundredfold.
Of the other Springfield men, Warder was unquestionably the ablest.
Warder had associated with him two partners, Asa S.
This was a dismal neighborhood, yet the armory was the only part of the castle that had a habitable air; so I asked the warder whether he could not make a fire, and give me something for supper there, and prepare me a bed in one corner.
The warder here took up the theme abandoned by the peaceful man of God.
When I recovered consciousness, it was broad day, and I found myself in a small chamber, attended by the warder and the hermit.
I accordingly drew forth from my pocket a small missal and a rosary, and told the warder he need only designate to me the way to his chamber, where I could come and rejoin him, when I had finished my prayers.
There was no possibility of going round it, yet the drawbridges were already raised and the gates locked, so he boldly called the warder and showed his passport.
The stillness of the evening was only interrupted by a few scattered notes of bells, the finale of the mighty peal by which the warder had just been trying to disperse the storm.
The warder he shook, and the warder grew pale, And gladly the shroud would have yielded!
The warder look'd down at the depth of night On the graves where the dead were sleeping, And, clearly as day, was the pale moonlight O'er the quiet churchyard creeping.
Believing his life to be in danger, the warder ran to the door and got outside into the adjoining corridor, pulling the cell door to after him and closing it.
The warder had gone into the cell to take the man's dinner, when suddenly the prisoner seized the knife brought for his use, and made a rush at the warder with it in his hand, at the same time uttering threats and imprecations.
He had no sooner escaped than the prisoner struck a violent blow in the direction the warder had gone, but the door being closed, it fell harmlessly enough.
It left such a mark, however, that no doubt could be entertained as to the violence with which it was delivered and the probable result had it reached the warder himself.
It was a desolate patch, bare of everything save a white efflorescence of salt, showing, as the warder remarked cynically, that it was only fit for corpses.
For a short time no one spoke--Calton being at the other end of the cell, busy with some notes which he had taken from his pocket, and the warder having retired.
After going through the usual formula, they entered the cell where Brian was, and, when the warder who accompanied them opened the door, they found the young man seated on his bed.
Three nights agone she stole from the Governor's house, and, passing through the gates that the sleeping warder had left unfastened, went toward the forest.
I ran past it and across the neck, and, arriving at the palisade, beat upon the gate with my hands, and called to the warder to open.
They listened, as the warder had listened, with shaking limbs and gasping breath; for this was the fall and wiping out of a people of which I brought warning.
We came to the palisade, and found the gates wide open and the warder gone.
Only I must ask if the proud daughter of the royal castle-warder will give her hand to a man who can offer her no name, no position.
You will remain here in the dwelling of the castle-warder until a suitable residence can be found for you.
The warder and Sir Harry West walked on talking together, with poor Ida Mara keeping close to the Knight's side, till they were within about thirty yards of the gate of the Tower.
While the warder was gone for that purpose, Sir Harry West inquired in a whisper, whether Ida really thought that the people, in whose hands he found her, had authority from the King.
