bearing pile

Hitchcock leans toward me in a conspiratorial, almost lascivious, way and says, “Let's pile on the menace.”

It is a lofty and richly-decorated pile of the fourteenth century; and tells of the labours and the wealth of a foreign land.

The sense of bearing on to the voice, or endeavoring to push the tone by any pressure whatever, should be absolutely avoided.

One, a man of distinguished looks and military bearing, was a little in advance of the other two.

Again the young fellow repeats his fatal "Banco," as he stakes a fresh pile of notes handed to him by the obsequious Jew.

From several doorways other men emerged, some of martial bearing, showing that the place was garrisoned to some extent.
