mortise block

If someone wants to ensure a direct and secure connection, no entity, whether a hotel or otherwise, should be able to block it.

The Spanish troops did not care to venture past a block of buildings in which were the offices and stores of a British firm.

The upper block was left a little thicker, the junction or root of the neck necessitating this.

The long unbroken block had as many and as various stores as are generally spread over the entire area of a town.

It had been very scanty information and late in its arrival—too late to enable the master manhunter to block the plan.

How I do wish sometimes to give Ritchie a jog, when there is some stumbling-block that he sticks fast at.
