The coral lime church and the houses of the teachers among the cocoa- nut trees gave the place a civilised look, and most of the people had some attempt at clothing. Here several passengers were taken in. The two girls, Caroline Wabisane and Sarah Wasitutru, were both married Caroline to a Maori named Simeona, and Sarah to a man from her own isle called Nawiki.
They were then led up to cells. And the moment Hogarth's door closed upon him, he put his skilly-can on the floor, and, with one stamp, stamped it out of shape; also he broke his cup, and pocketed two fragments of it. A few minutes afterwards, before cocoa, Black, trotting in heavy haste here and there in the gallery, looked in to say: "Bath to- night".
This fellow had no money, but she must needs become engaged to him a harumscarum, unpractical chap, who would get himself into no end of difficulties. She had come to him one day in her slap-dash way and told him; and, as if it were any consolation, she had added: "He's so splendid; he's often lived on cocoa for a week!" "And he wants you to live on cocoa too?"
Unfortunately she got mixed: the Serbian for open is very like the word for shut, and she used them reversed. There was much confusion.

We had a tin of cocoa, saved from our parcels, and with it we painted rich brown rings on our new coats. We were careful not to wear these coats, for we knew the cocoa rings were perishable, but we had our old overcoats to wear when we needed one. This saw us past the difficulty for a while.
Half a dozen teenaged Tulans brought a cool drink similar to cocoa; it seemed to give a slight lift. Taller had not become Khan of the most progressive nation on Texcoco by other than his own abilities. He felt his way carefully now. He had no manner of assessing the powers wielded by these strangers from space.
The terral, or land wind, which is usually strongest towards morning, moaned loudly on the hillside, and came rushing past with a melancholy sough, through the brushwood that surrounded the hut, shaking off the heavy dew from the palm and cocoa nut trees, like large drops of rain.
That there is something in a name, is as true of cocoa and chocolate as of other things, and the difference of name implies, in most instances, a difference of manufacture.
Calder nodded his head with a faint smile, as though he understood that here was a difficulty rather cleverly surmounted. "There's tea, cocoa, and coffee," he said. "Help yourself, Durrance." "Thanks," said Durrance. "I see, but I will get Moussa to bring me a brandy-and-soda, I think," and again Calder nodded his head.
