"I have until the day after to-morrow?" "Yes. To-night we lie near Vendome." "And to-morrow night?" "Near a place called La Fleche. It is possible," he went on with hesitation for he did not understand her "that he may bathe to-morrow, and may hand the packet to you, as he did to-day when I vainly sought speech with you. If he does that " "Yes?" she said, her eyes on his face.
We used to go down every morning to the sea to bathe in a little sheltered cove, almost surrounded by high rocks, where there was no danger of a visit from a shark. Here my father had built a small hut in which Maud and I might dress.
She had no desire to be mistaken again for Buck Olney. When she came back, Ward's eyes were wild again, and he started up in bed and glared at her. Billy Louise laughed at him and told him to lie down like a nice buckaroo, and Ward, recalled to himself by her voice, obeyed. She got the wash-basin and a towel and prepared to bathe his head. He wanted a drink.
From the challenging smile on her lips to the point of the little shoe which peeped out beneath her petticoat, there came an invitation to Captain Twinely a suggestion that he, too, should sit gracefully on the grass. "Now, Una," she said, "go and have your bathe, if you must do anything so foolish. We will wait for you here, the captain will amuse me till you return.
When this was fetched, the physician, who had already been holding a small phial containing ammonia, Jack suspected, to the cripple's nose, set to work to bathe his patient's face with the cool liquid.

It rises like a colossal wave and stretches out to bathe the foot of the Libyan mountains beyond.
Then the first duty was to get up out of the grass and kill the scorpion; and the next to bathe the bitten place with alcohol or brandy; and the next to resolve to keep out of the grass in future. Then came an adjournment to the bed-chamber and the pastime of writing up the day's journal with one hand and the destruction of mosquitoes with the other a whole community of them at a slap.
"Can he have been attacked by bushrangers, and thrown here?" I asked. "I don't think that," answered Guy, pointing up to the cliff. "See, he must have fallen over, and striking his head on the ground, have become insensible. Go and get some water from yonder pool in your hat, and I think that if we bathe his head, he will come to."
At many of the wells, and cisterns also, a man is placed, whose business it is to draw water for the weary travellers. However agreeable the erection of these reservoirs may be in many respects, there is one circumstance which detracts from their value; the people always wash and bathe in the same ones from which they must procure their drinking water. But what objections will not thirst silence?
