The elephant was equipped with a light pad provided with large pockets into which were thrust Thermos flasks, packets of sandwiches and of cartridges. Close by two servants were holding guns.
A day spent in the "open," with the blue sky over one's head, is indeed a splendid tonic for jaded nerves. A young man, for example, is often asked by a young lady to accompany her on a "family picnic."

When midnight came she found that she was ravenously hungry, and she was agreeably surprised when O'Neil produced an elaborate lunch. There were even thermos bottles filled with steaming hot coffee, more delicious, she thought, than anything she had ever before tasted.
