FORE:An awful, an ill-inspired notion came into poor Mrs Keeling��s head. She determined on light good-humoured banter. Her intentions were excellent, her performance deplorable."Eggs," announced the figure on the couch. "Large quantities of eggs��infinite eggs."

FORE:They did not get far from Odiwara before it was necessary to leave the jin-riki-shas and take to the cangos. These were found waiting for them where the road ended and the footpath began, and the boys were delighted at the change from the one mode of conveyance to the other. Doctor Bronson did not seem to share their enthusiasm, as he had been in a cango before and did not care for additional experience. He said that cango travelling was very much like eating crow��a man might do it if he tried, but he was not very likely to "hanker after it."

FORE:He found his razor, plunged it into cold water��he had forgotten to ask Mrs. Flack for hot, and couldn't be bothered now��and lathered his face thoughtfully."The sperm-whale can't see straight ahead, as his eyes are set far back, and seem to be almost on his sides. He turns partly round to get a glimpse of a boat, then ports his helm, drops his jaw, calculates his distance, and[Pg 64] goes ahead at full speed. His jaw is set very low, and sometimes he turns over, or partly over, to strike his blow.

FORE:And then, when that change had been wrought, that physical reconstruction, what else might follow in its train?

Gholson took on an uglier pallor than before and went back into the house. I followed him. He moved slowly up the two flights of hall stairs and into a room close under the roof, called the "soldiers' room". It had three double beds, one of them ours. Without a fault in the dreary rhythm of his motions he went to the bedpost where hung his revolver, and turning to me buckled the weapon at his waist with hands that kept the same unbroken measure though they trembled and were as pallid as his face. In the same slow beat he shook his head."Yes," I said, and handed her, as I dismounted, the General's gift, the pass.
