"I will not trouble you, effendi. I will keep over to my side. There is plenty of room in the bed for the two of us."
It would harm nobody, and do him a great deal of good, if he talked to Steve. He relit his pipe, which had gone out during a tense spell of work on the suspenders. "Well, Steve," he said, "what do you think of life? How is this best of all possible worlds treating you?" Steve deposed that life was pretty punk. "You're a great describer, Steve. You've hit it first time. Punk is the word.
Mannering opened his eyes lazily. His companion had stopped suddenly in his reading. He appeared to be examining a certain paragraph in the paper with much interest. Mannering stretched out his hand for a match, and relit his cigarette. "Read it out, Richard," he said. "Don't mind me." The young man started slightly. "I am very sorry, sir," he said.

This plan succeeded at last, and with relief and humility I boarded her, relit the riding-light, and carried off the kedge anchor. The strange boot lay at the foot of the ladder, but it told no tales when I examined it. It was eleven o'clock, past low water.
Somehow or other, his thoughts were fixed upon the stream, where it disappeared under the rocks, and, leaving Fred by the camp-fire, he relit his torch and went off to make another survey. The lad watched the star-like point of light flickering in the gloom as his friend moved along, holding the torch over his head.
The verandah door was shut, a match spluttered and the lantern was relit. Dobson and Leon came into the hall, both clad in long mackintoshes which glistened from the weather. Dobson halted and listened to the wind howling in the upper spaces.
When suddenly I awoke, and found that the party with all the camels had arrived, my fire was relit, and the whole place lately so silent was now in a bustle. I got up, and looked about me in astonishment, as I could not at first remember where I was.
"Dearest," Mike said, "do you remember what you said on that morning when we found each other again? You said, 'Let's go forward; things are explained."
