De Rosny smiled at the extravagance of the proposition. Cecil, again taking refuge in commonplaces, observed that his master was disposed to keep the peace with all his neighbours, but that, having due regard to the circumstances, he was willing to draw a line between the wishes of the States and his own, and would grant them a certain amount of succour underhand.
Once Aunt Maria asked her if she didn't feel able to dress and go out of doors for the fresh air, but she turned wearily away and hid her face in the pillow, her only refuge. The second morning someone had left her door ajar, and she heard Aunt Maria say to Tom, "I don't know what in the world to do with her. She will be sick if she stays that way much longer."
"Allah be praised!" the sheik said fervently; "then not one of the dervishes has escaped, and the secret of our place of refuge here is preserved." Some more kids were killed and another grand feast was held. The captured camels were divided between the two parties.
I suppose M. Plumet managed to escape from his refuge. On my arrival I found, keeping order on the way outside the station, the drollest policeman that ever stepped out of a comic opera.

Why should her father choose this dreadful place, this impossible man as a refuge? It could only have been as a last resort for him, just as it now was for her. "I was always away at school after his marriage," she went on. "I saw so little of him." Mrs. Carder looked uneasy. "I saw nothin' of him except at a meal sometimes. He and my son was always shut up in Rufus's office."
The savage in her had gone out to him with open arms and, behold, the primal force which, standing like an island of refuge in a sea of doubt, she had been about to clasp was but an empty shadow.
He felt nowhere so much at home as when his brig was anchored on the inner side of the great stretch of shoals. The centre of his life had shifted about four hundred miles from the Straits of Malacca to the Shore of Refuge and when there he felt himself within the circle of another existence, governed by his impulse, nearer his desire.
