The rickety rafters? Or were the little creatures swarming all over the walls to remind one of 'the foxes that walk upon the mountain of Zion'? "A huge stove occupies one-fourth of the room-space. Between the stove and the wall, to the right, is a bed made up ready for use, and on the other side a smaller one full of straw and hay, and without bed-covers.
Then he rubbed the other, wrapped the bath-robe tightly about her, lifted her in his arms, threw back the bed-covers, and laid her there snug and warm. "Sleep," he said. She held up both arms with a divine smile. "Stay with me until I sleep," she murmured drowsily. Her eyes closed; one hand sought his. After a while she fell asleep.
In addition to all these, they had patent overcoats and undercoats, patent hats and patent boots, gum-elastic bed-covers, and portable gutta-percha floors for tents; ropes, cords, horse-shoes, bits, saddles and bridles, bags of oats, fancy packs for horses, and locomotive pegs for hanging guns on, besides many other articles commonly deemed useful in foreign countries by gentlemen of the British Islands who go abroad to rough it.
That bedsteads should be of iron, the mattress with changeable covers, the furniture of painted and enameled instead of polished wood, and in short the conditions of healthful cleanliness as carefully provided as if the rooms were in a hospital instead of a private house but the added comfort of carefully chosen wall colour, and bright, harmonizing, washable chintz in curtains and bed-covers.
I rolled myself under the bed-covers, in the most abject terror lest she might come back the same way; and, true enough, she did, with a most piercing cry.

The regiment, however, in June was ordered to Arizona, that dreaded and then unknown land, and the uncertain future was before me.
The murderess hid her face under the bed-covers; and her whole body was bathed in an icy perspiration. For her, this was not a mere apparition it was a frightful reality. But hers was not a nature to submit unresistingly to such an impression.

"We are your own people; we are all you have, Phil! the children adore you already; Austin you know what he thinks of you; and and I " "You are very kind, Ninette."

"Because," said the money-lender, coolly, "you had other security. You have a daughter!" Judge Custis broke from the bed-covers and rushed upon Meshach Milburn. "Heathen and devil!" he shouted, taking the money-lender by the throat, "do you dare to mention her as part of your mortgage?" They struggled together until a powerful pair of hands pinioned the Judge, and bore him back to his bed.
Peggy in one pretty little white bed and Polly in the one beside it were carrying on a lively whispered conversation. "Well, we're here," was Polly's undisputable statement as she snuggled down under her bed-covers, "and now that we are what do you think of it?" "I'm glad we've come.
She knew she must not take Giovanna's fears at her own valuation. She gathered from her gestures now, combined with her talk, that Gerald, so quiet until to-day, had become restless.
