Tommy, who was sitting up in the bed-place with his sister, had snatched it out of Juno's left hand, for she held the baby with the other, and in so doing, had thrown it over Caroline, who was screaming, while Juno, in her hurry to assist Caroline, had slipped down on the deck with the baby, who was also crying with fright, although not hurt.
We then walked to the ravine, and she showed me how to use the shovel, and I made the holes. Before noon we had planted all that we had cut, but we had still the two handkerchiefs full that we had at first brought up with us. We returned to the cabin, and I prepared the fish for dinner. After it was on the embers, she wished to have the screen put up beside her bed-place.
"Board of the privateer, Mr Oxbelly?" "Yes, sir, would go; told her it was impossible, but she wouldn't listen to reason came on board, flopped herself into the standing bed-place, and said that there she was for the cruise little Billy with her " "What! your child, too?"
When you awake again, I will have some dinner ready for you." I thanked her and shut my eyes. Nero crawled to my bed-place, and with my hand upon his head, I fell asleep, and remained so till near sunset, when I awoke with very little pain in my head, and much refreshed.

"'It has set at last, said Nina to her mother, pointing to the hills behind which the sun had sunk." . . . These words of Almayer's romantic daughter I remember tracing on the gray paper of a pad which rested on the blanket of my bed-place.
My astonishment was not small, to see him crawl into the bed-place I had left, and quietly roll himself up and go to sleep. He must have slept, however, with one eye open, for whenever I commenced descending from my bough, he popped up his head as much as to say, "You had better not, or I'll be after you," and then down he laid again.
Two hours before sunset, I went down again to the rocks, and called till I was hoarse. It was all in vain; night closed in, and again I returned to the cabin, and threw myself down in my bed-place in utter despair. "I thought he loved me," said I to myself, "loved me as I loved him; I would not have left him in that way."
As he said this, he started up in his bed-place, awakened by his dream, and probably by my voice, which he had replied to. "Who spoke?" said he. "Frank Henniker, did you speak?" I made no reply, but pretended to be sound asleep, as he still sat up, as if watching me. I feigned a snore. "It could not have been him," muttered Jackson, "he's quite fast. Mercy, what a dream!"
