Near the middle of the night one of the animals set up a loud braying which brought the boys from their cots in quick alarm. At first they could not imagine what it was.

"No, it's nothing but a mule with an overloaded stomach," answered Ned turning back to his tent growling his disgust.
If I were a night-watchman, "doom'd for a certain term to walk the night," I should insist on English pajamas to keep me awake.

It will be remembered by those who have read of Injun that he was very fond of pink pajamas. As garments, pink pajamas seemed to Injun to be the real thing.

The temperature in there was just about the kind mentioned in the cooking recipes that call for a quick oven. "Then I gives a silver dollar to one of the guards to send for the United States consul. He comes around in pajamas, with a pair of glasses on his nose and a dozen or two inside of him.
All at once Teddy let drive a short-arm blow at the head of the baboon. Few things could withstand that blow, and least of all a baboon. It landed fairly on the grinning jaws and Bruiser's head jolted backwards as if it were going right on into the river.

The spaciousness of the sea under clouds of battle smoke had melted into the spaciousness of the desert under the Eternal Painter's canopy.
