About the embers of a burned dwelling, elder, love-pop, and other wild things spread themselves in rank complacency, strange bed-fellows adversity had thrust in upon the frightened sweet-Betsy, phlox and jonquils of the ruined garden. Here the ground was gay with wild roses, and yonder blue, pink, white, and purple with expanses of larkspur.
He was awakened from his slumbers by the noise of his bed-fellows, one of whom, wearing grey cotton stockings, was performing a hornpipe; while another, evidently very drunk, was warbling as much as he could recollect of a comic song; the third, a man with thick, bushy whiskers, was applauding both performers. "My name is Smangle, sir," said the man with the whiskers to Mr. Pickwick.
If we're not now bed-fellows with the oysters in the Gulf of Mexico, no thanks to our kind Cambridge friends. But talking of oysters, let me remind you again that breakfast is ready." The meal was a most joyous one. They ate much, they talked more, but they laughed most. The little incident of Algebra had certainly very much enlivened the situation.
He had faced starvation; he had walked with hunger for his travelling companion; he had lain down night after night in such lairs as the tramp can find for his refuge, with sickness and pain for his bed-fellows.

Thus we find strange bed-fellows, and the mortal and immortal prematurely make acquaintance. A Word for Those Who Suffer

Verily, life in an Independent Malay State, like adversity, makes one acquainted with strange bed-fellows. Woman is the lesser man, and all her passions matched with mine, Are as moonlight unto sunlight, and as water unto wine. Locksley Hall. This is a true story.
Wordsworth's daffodils are hardly a more jocund company than Browning's wind-tossed tulips; he accepts their gladness, and yet the starved grass and daisies are more to him than these: Daisies and grass be my heart's bed-fellows On the mound wind spares and sunshine mellows: Dance you, reds and whites and yellows! Of failure in intellectual or imaginative force the Parleyings show no symptom.
"There is the will; and by looking it over, you will know what I've done," he said. "I wish you would keep it; for, if 'misery makes us acquainted with strange bed-fellows, revolutions reduce us, often, to strange plights, and the paper will be safer with you than with me. Of course, you will keep my secret, until the proper time to reveal it shall arrive."
