transe

Pickey; a round flat little stone used by children in playing transe or Scotch-hop.

A light was shining into the transe from the stair which went up at right angles from the end of it.

Hastening back as he came, he was just in time for his dinner, and narrowly escaped encountering Betty in the transe.

He traversed the stair and the transe, entered the parlour, and sat down to his open book as though nothing had happened.
