This being Muriel's fifth birthday, Mabelle and the doctor and the men have been arranging a surprise for her all day, and none of us were allowed to go on the port side of the deck, but after dinner we were taken to a hastily fitted-up theatre, very prettily decorated with flags and Japanese lanterns.
His own cloth, and what I gave him, made in the aggregate 1,393 doti, which, at 2 doti per day for food, were sufficient to keep him and sixty men 696 days. He had thus four years' supplies. The only articles he lacked to make a new and completely fitted-up expedition were the following, a list of which he and I drew up;
You may take it for granted that alligators belong exclusively to America." Carey hurried forward, led by his nose partly, for there was a pleasant smell of roasting, and he reached the cook's place a neatly fitted-up kitchen more than a galley to find Bostock looking very hot, and in the act of taking the pigeons, brown and sizzling, from the oven. "Not quite done, sir," he said.
Sometimes I think that having a bath is the nicest part of the day, especially if you take too long over it, when you ought to be hurrying. What can you expect for forty pounds a year, even at Clapham? But we have a fitted-up arrangement in the box-room, and it has never exploded yet.

After his death, it turned out that the little bag was a fully fitted-up medicine-chest, with remedies for use in every possible contingency.
In a short time he left her to herself, for he had much property, to whose numerous details he attended with rigid conscientiousness, and he had been a student from his youth, and sat almost as much as Dr. Bower in his library, although it was an airier and more heterogeneously fitted-up sanctuary.
Wise Cora had seen the propriety of giving to this unwelcome sister-in-law with the heavy purse, apartments of the best in the newly fitted-up portion of the mansion. "I want you to be especially careful with my hair and complexion," Miss Arthur continued. "Yes, mademoiselle," demurely.
It consists of a comfortably and elegantly fitted-up clubhouse, within easy driving distance of a large city, and surrounded by facilities for tennis, racquets, golf, polo, baseball, racing, etc. So far it has kept clear of the degrading sport of pigeon shooting. Training is carried out more thoroughly and consistently than in England, and many if not most of the "records" are held in America.
