"Don't make such a fuss; you know you're enjoying it, old sport," said Wendy. "It isn't every day in your life you can come and have a blow-out on Crusoe Island."
The return of the morgue master to the platform caused Coroner Penfield to break off his whispered conversation with Dr. Mayo. "Colonel McIntyre just telephoned that his car had a blow-out on the way here," explained the morgue master. "He will arrive shortly." Penfield consulted a list of names.

So we had a little blow-out in our room." "Was that the noise I heard last night?" "The noise you heard was from our room, yes. But that isn't what I was getting at," stammered Sam.
