When it's cooler. We'll have it in here. By ourselves." He got up and rang the bell. The tea-table between them, and she, pouring out the tea. She was grown up. Her hair was grown up. It lay like a wreath, plaited on the top of her head. He was smoothing out the wrinkles of one hand with the other, and smiling. "Everybody busy except you and me, Mary.... How are you getting on with Kant?"
When the day became cooler we resumed the march, and travelled until after dark to a grazing-ground one mile short of Ain Tarad, and there spent the night. The farther we travelled westwards, the broader became the maritime plain, and the richer its clothing of shrubs and grass.
The temperature of the water when it came out of the side of the mountain was high, but in the course of its passage from pool to pool it became gradually cooler. "I cannot resist the temptation of taking a bath in one of these beautiful basins," exclaimed Manley. Selecting one, I followed his example; and the sergeant was soon sitting in a third, with his head just above the water.
"In the first place, my dear, we fell short of whitewash; and, in the next place, we are going to set to work at once to put a few light rafters across, and to nail felt below them, and whitewash it so as to make a ceiling. It will make the rooms look less bare, and, what is much more important, it will make them a great deal cooler." "You get milk, I hope?"

Percy, underneath, snored lustily, and Ben chopped wood and piled up the logs scientifically for a fire that evening. Alberdina's supper was distinctly German in flavor, but it was good and Billie and Nancy enjoyed freedom from the bondage of cooking the evening meal. After supper the wind freshened and it grew much cooler. "It's going to be a dark night. There's no moon," remarked Ben, wistfully.
