It was necessary to have a small boat in the creek to convey the casks from and to the beach over which they were rolled, and then put into the launch; as only a small boat could enter the creek, and that only at high water. Excellent wood for fuel was here far more convenient than water, but this was an article we did not want.
When she wanted it, she sought his advice on such small subjects as came up in her daily life; and she tried not to show signs of weariness when he used more words and more difficult words than were necessary to convey his ideas. But her ideal husband was different from Philip in every point, the two images never for an instant merged into one.
The Commandant was absent; and his lieutenant declared against our seeing anything more than the great wheel, and a small section of the battlements.

He abandoned sarcasm and condescended to direct inquiry. 'Where were you yesterday afternoon? he said. The Bishop, like Mr Hurry Bungsho Jabberjee, B.A., became at once the silent tomb. 'Where were you yesterday afternoon? 'I can't say, sir. These words may convey two meanings. They may imply ignorance, in which case the speaker should be led gently off to the nearest asylum.
