Context examples
Here and there a small escutcheon, peeping from a glassless window, marked the night's lodging of knight or baron.
(The White Company, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
In those that remained, there was scarcely any glass; and, through the crumbling frames by which the bad air seemed always to come in, and never to go out, I saw, through other glassless windows, into other houses in a similar condition, and looked giddily down into a wretched yard, which was the common dust-heap of the mansion.
(David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens)
