[D]The boys had seen a party of sappers and miners, as they are called, that is, military engineers, who were established on the top of Ben Lomond, in a hut which they had built there. They were employed there, in connection with other sappers and miners on the other mountains around, in making a survey of Scotland.

[G]A boudoir is a small private apartment, fitted up for a lady, where she receives her intimate and confidential friends.
