To one of these chambers my guard escorted me, and before leaving they chained me to a
side wall. There were other humans similarly chained.
At the Earths Core
As the young man walked toward it the upper windows drew a black arcade along the side wall of the building, but from the lower openings, on the side where the ground sloped steeply down to the Corbury road, the light shot its long bars, illuminating many fresh furrows in the track leading to the basement door, and showing, under an adjoining shed, a line of sleighs with heavily blanketed horses.
Down the side wall facing the window stood a row of kitchen chairs from which the older women had just risen.
Ethan Frome
With an effort I started toward the opening of the cave only to reel drunkenly against a
side wall, and from there slip prone upon the floor.
Princess of Mars
We entered a flower-garden by a gate in a
side wall, of which he had the key, and the first thing I saw was that the beds and flowers were all laid out according to the manner of my beds and flowers at home.
Bleak House
The corner beyond, and most of the
side wall, is occupied by a grand piano, with the keyboard at the end furthest from the door, and a bench for the player extending the full length of the keyboard.
Pygmalion
It was necessary to feel every foot of the way back with my hand against the
side wall, that I might not pass the spot where the five roads radiated.
The Gods of Mars
As he crossed the floor of the canyon he saw something lying close to the base of the
side wall he was approaching-something that stood out in startling contrast to all the surroundings and yet seemed so much a part and parcel of the somber scene as to suggest an actor amid the settings of a well-appointed stage, and, as though to carry out the allegory, the pitiless rays of flaming Kudu topped the eastern cliff, picking out the thing lying at the foot of the western wall like a giant spotlight.
Tarzan the Untamed
Long sounding lines were sunk in the side walls, but after fifteen yards they were again stopped by the thick wall.
But in the morning when, dressed in my cork-jacket, I traversed the slushy mass at a temperature of six or seven degrees below zero, I remarked that the side walls were gradually closing in.
The side walls and the lower surface of the iceberg thickened visibly.
20000 Leagues Under The Sea
A glass, in a carved wooden frame, was fixed against one of the
side walls. She stopped and looked into it--looked, shuddering, at the reflection of herself.
Man And Wife
It was some thirty or forty feet overhead, and constructed much as the
side walls. In one of its panels a very singular figure riveted my whole attention.
Pit and the Pendulum
A loophole window was pierced in each of its
side walls. Through one of these windows I could see Mrs.
The Woman in White
The cows and oxen stood in two rows, with their tails towards the
side walls, and their heads in the middle of the shed.
