The lady, finding that the frail craft, under her present management, behaved very well, sorely as she was tried by the tempest, was encouraged. "Can I do anything?" she asked, in soft notes, though they were still shaken by her fears. "No, miss: if you will only keep perfectly still, I can take care of her." "Here is a basin," said she, holding up the implement.
The room, Mark's room, with Mark's white bed in one corner and Dan's white bed in the other, had changed; it looked like a room she had never been in before. She had never seen that mahogany washstand and the greyish blue flowers on the jug and basin.
'Pour out a basin of soup for yourself. She did as she was told. 'Don't you want a servant? she asked presently. 'I don't know; my wife is ill. 'There you are! It's quiet here. Where's Magda? 'Left. 'Jendrek? 'Sent up for trial. 'There you are! Stasiek? 'Drowned last summer, he whispered, fearful lest Maciek's and the little girl's turn should come next.
While holding out this tempting bait to merchants, manufacturers, and the moneyed classes generally, Mr. Stanley declines to dilate upon the advantages of the Congo basin as a field for immigration.

Burtenshaw's 'art stood still and then Silas let off another groan that put her on edge all over. It was a groan that seemed to come from nothing a'most until it spread into a roar that made the room tremble and rattled the jug in the wash-stand basin.

"In the North Aisle, a little to the left as you enter from the porch, stands a very ancient granite font, perhaps of Saxon workmanship; the basin is round, but the exterior form is square, and, although mounted on mean stone, still maintains its station upon a raised space of Saxon brick; a circumstance worthy of remark, as the original situation of the font has of late occasioned some little controversy.
Your atmosphere does not resemble the spicy breezes that blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle. Your energy and enterprise are commendable, and your geographical location is excellent, but you can never become a rival to Saratoga or Newport. Cairo is built in a basin formed by constructing a levee to inclose the peninsula at the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
An old man, with a long white beard, neatly dressed in a green jacket and shawl turban, came out and welcomed us.
