Is not the wainscot of that long low parlour inscribed with many a famous name?

Before the soldiers had finished their examination in this room, the confinement and anxiety increased Lord Pitsligo's asthma so much, and his breathing became so loud, that it cost Miss Gordon, lying in bed, much and violent coughing, which she counterfeited, in order to prevent the high breathings behind the wainscot from being heard.

With our united strength we rolled it out, and there was a little low wooden door in the wainscot behind it.

I fancied myself bit by innumerable vermin under the clothes; and that a spider was travelling from the wainscot towards my mouth.
