...found at Paalmul a perfectly round building, 31 feet 8 inches high, but bigger than that measurement indicates, for it is roughly cone shaped and has a considerable diameter at the bottom. There are two stairways and four different walls or belts of masonry, looking not unlike four turrets of a battleship, placed one above another, the smallest at the top. The only room we could find was a small one in the next to the highest turned. An altar at the back of this room had been broken, exposing crevices that ran down several feet...

Her body was a tapering cone, her forelegs struts, her hindlegs coiled springs. Sunny Meade Petit Poilu, Brussels griffon, owned by Mrs. William D. Goff, strutted among the others, well knowing that he would have made but a scant meal for any one of them, but looking at the mountainous beasts, his rivals, with a gaze of bleak hauteur. Long silky hair clothed his bandy legs in elegance and provided him with a beard which would have commanded...
