Her common-sense had returned and she was naturally brave, but an experience such as hers had been is not forgotten in a few hours. However, she was determined that no one should know her feelings; therefore she was the first to enter the little room. "Here's where Laban bunked," said the captain.
He was the last man in the world a gang of wicked cowboys would suspect of guile; all of them, quite foolishly, thought he had more money than brains. Eventually, however, the Narcissus was loaded, Cappy moved into the owner's suite, and his new-found friends bunked in a temporary deck house forward when they weren't busy below decks playing chambermaid to the cargo.
Adventure, like fear of adventure, consisted in going one step at a time, keeping at it, forming the habit.... So, an outcast among outcasts, grubbily bunked in a camp of hoboes, talking to a filthy lean man with an evil hooked nose, Seth Appleby began to think for himself, to the end that he should be one of the class that rules and is unafraid.
Kiddie loosened the padlock, flung open the door and looked within. The place was empty. Broken Feather had escaped. Broken Feather had certainly made his escape. There could be no doubting it. With a quick glance Kiddie searched within the empty shed; he even exercised his sense of smell, sniffing inquiringly. "Seems he's bunked," he said, turning round to Gideon.
But in the morning there were the jib and tops'l set and drawing as before. After this we began experimenting on Ally Bazan. We bunked him forward and we bunked him aft, for some one had pointed out that the "ha'nt" walked only at the times when the colonial slept in the fo'c's'le. We found this to be true.
Well, speaking personal, I never had smelled none of roses. I wasn't nothing but trash myself, so being a gentleman didn't bother me one way or the other. The only reason I didn't want to see them niggers bunked so very bad was only jest because it was such a low-down, ornery kind of trick. "It ain't too late," I says, "to pull out of this nigger scheme yet and get into something more honest."
It took about one minute to decide and an hour to pack such duffle as I needed for a few weeks in the woods. Remembering Pete's two brown-eyed "kids," and knowing that they were ague-stricken and homesick, I made place for a few apples and peaches, with a ripe melon. For Pete and I had been chums in Rochester and I had bunked in his attic on Galusha Street, for two years.
Once Collins had stuck a pin into a wonderful mercury apparatus and entirely ruined it. "Oh, Collins, you stupid boy. I shall have to report you to the Headmaster, and you know what that means. We sha'n't see you here any more." Gordon had, of course, not the slightest fear of getting "bunked." But still it was a nuisance. He would have to be more careful next time.
Each was eager to question the other, but Elkin opened fire. "Anything fresh?" he cried. "You have a fair course now, Robinson. That little London 'tec has bunked home." "Has he?" In the language of the ring, Robinson thought fit to spar for an opening. "Oh, none of your kiddin'," said Elkin, stroking the nervous colt's neck. "You know he has. You don't miss much that's going on.
There was no time to reach the sanctuary of the other room the footsteps were already crossing the threshold from the head of the stairs. And then a voice reached her the Pug's. It was the Pug and Pinkie Bonn. "Strike a light, Pinkie! Dere's no use messin' around wid a flash. De old geezer'll be back on de hop de minute he finds out he's been bunked, an' de quicker we work de better."
