"That bag had all my things in it: pajamas, brushes and comb and collars and handkerchiefs and and everything! I'd like to know what I'm going to sleep in!" "I dare say we'll get our trunks to-night," said Tom soothingly. "If we don't you can have my pajamas." "What'll you wear?" asked Steve more graciously. "Anything. I don't mind. I say, Steve, let's see what's in the bag he left!"
But the artist is none the less a genius because he listens to the counsels of his master, profits by the experience of others, and purchases his supplies instead of grinding his own colors and laboriously manufacturing his own canvas and brushes.
He began trifling with the new set of coins and the little brushes immediately; languidly looking at them and admiring them all the time he was speaking to me. "A thousand thanks and a thousand excuses. Do you like coins? Yes. So glad we have another taste in common besides our taste for Art. Now, about the pecuniary arrangements between us do tell me are they satisfactory?"
It also held some books, brushes, and other necessaries. A shelf underneath displayed a little brass kettle and other paraphernalia for making tea, while my other books were arranged in a neat row beneath.

This must be done, of course, on a smooth day, when the vessel does not roll much.
They dipped the ends of their tails, which were much like paint-brushes, into a pail of whitewash, backed up against the house, and wagged their tails right and left until the whitewash was rubbed on the wall, after which they dipped these funny brushes in the pail again and repeated the performance. "That must be fun," said Button-Bright.
Tartar had quarters of its own assigned to it: his maps and charts had their quarters; his books had theirs; his brushes had theirs; his boots had theirs; his clothes had theirs; his case- bottles had theirs; his telescopes and other instruments had theirs. Everything was readily accessible.
Ben Howard sprang up, and darting behind a screen where they washed their brushes, he dashed cold water over his head and came back toweling himself. "I'm fit now. I did drink too much champagne, but I'll sleep it off. Now fire away, what's up?" "In two hours I'll be en route for the coast, and to-morrow I'll take passage for home on the first boat."
