But they quickly grow more serious, and stonemasons are injured. Nicholas Elyot becomes involved after it is discovered that an intruder has reached the college by way of his garden. And when Jordain Brinkylsworth’s youngest student goes missing, it seems at first that his disappearance is unconnected... Surely this serious and studious boy cannot be responsible for the troubles?

Download or read book The Stonemason written by Andrew Ziminski and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stonemason's story of the building of Britain: part archaeological history, part deeply personal insight into an ancient craft. In his thirty-year career, stonemason Andrew Ziminski has worked on many of our greatest monuments. From Neolithic monoliths to Roman baths and temples, from the tower of Salisbury Cathedral to the engine houses, mills and aqueducts of the Industrial Revolution and beyond, The Stonemason is his very personal history of how Britain was built - from the inside out. Stone by different stone, culture by different culture, Andrew Ziminski (with his faithful whippet in tow) takes us on an unforgettable journey by river, road and sea through our countryside showing how the making of Britain's buildings offers an unexpected and new version of our island story. 'My school history lessons were focused around flat pages of facts, events and royal personalities, but for me it was the material aspects of the past, the tangible remnants left behind that were thrilling, and that it was these buildings and places, and learning how they worked, that really brought the past alive.'

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The island city of Tyre lay close to the Syrian coast. It seemed to float among the waves that fretted themselves into foam as they rolled in between the jagged rocks, and spread over the flats, retiring again to rest in the deep bosom of the Mediterranean. The wall that encircled the island rose in places a hundred cubits, and seemed from a distance to be an enormous monolith. It was therefore called Tsur, or Tyre, which means The Rock. At the time of our narrative, about the middle of the fifth century B.C., the sea-girt city contained a dense mass of inhabitants, who lived in tall wooden houses of many stories; for the ground space within the walls could not lodge the multitude who pursued the various arts and commerce for which the Tyrians were, of all the world, the most noted. The streets were narrow, often entirely closed to the sky by projecting balconies and arcades—mere veins and arteries for the circulation of the city's throbbing life. For recreation from their dyeing-vats, looms, and foundries, the artisan people climbed to the broad spaces on the top of the walls, where they could breathe the sweet sea air, except when the easterly wind was hot and gritty with dust from the mainland, a few bow-shots distant. The men of commerce thronged the quay of the Sidonian harbor at the north end of the island, or that of the Egyptian harbor on the south side—two artificial basins which were at all times crowded with ships; for the Tyrian merchantmen scoured all the coast of the Great Sea, even venturing through the straits of Gades, and northward to the coasts of Britain, and southward along the African shore; giving in barter for the crude commodities they found, not only the products of their own workshops, but the freight of their caravans that climbed the Lebanons and wearily tracked across the deserts to Arabia and Babylon. The people of fashion paraded their pride on the Great Square, in the heart of the city—called by the Greeks the Eurychorus—where they displayed their rich garments in competition with the flowers that grew, almost as artificially, in gay parterres amid the marble blocks of the pavement.

I not yet determine whether they were men or women, old or young. " Oh ! heaven," said I, " if I could only once see the form of Denise, it would strengthen me, and I should be able to see the others better." Then I turned cold in all my limbs, and said to myself: " But if she is no longer here!" Ah ! what a moment it was, sir, what a moment! an eternity does not last longer than a moment like that! XIX. At last, either my eyes or the window became clearer, a large broom-fagot made a bright flame on the hearth, and lighted up all the room. "Denise, Denise!" I cried softly. It was she, sir, I had seen her distinctly by the fire-light. She had something in her hand like a cup that she had taken off the fire, and now carried toward the darker side of the room where a bed stood. I fell back, almost fainting, on a bundle of fagots that was on the rock, and it required some effort and time to enable me stand up, and take my place at the window again. Then I could not only see, but I could distinctly hear a weak and tender voice, the voice of my mother, which said from the bed: " Thank you, my poor Denise! I give you a great deal of trouble, and make you go late to bed, and rise early; but, thanks be to God, you will not have this trouble long. The good God will not delay to give me rest." Ah ! sir, I understood that my mother was very ill, but that I should at least be able to bid her farewell, and to receive her blessing before she died. My heart melted, and my tears began to flow. XX. I passed my hand over the glass to wipe away the dimness made by my breath, which again prevented me from seeing every thing in the room, and this was what I saw: First, my mother's stool near the fire was empty; the salt-box and bag of rye flour stood on it....
