These, a long man and a short man, stood at the bar, their backs to the window and their hands cupped lovingly round glasses of refreshment. The tall man was talking to the bartender. "This getting up so early in the mornin' is a fright," they heard him complain. "But bunking with a invalid shore does keep you on the jump." He and his companion drank.
Damn the woman with her whining, wheezing letters, 'Do give me time I'll pay in time. Might have known it would end in her bunking." "I don't think you ought to speak of her like that," Joan attempted; "after all, it is only that she does not happen to be here this morning. She would have let me know if she had not been coming back."
I don't forget you began to play fair just as soon as you got next to how matters stood between. how they stood with me." "Couldn't play the cad, you know. I say, though, it's time we talked it all over again. Give me your trunk check. I'll have my man send your luggage to my hotel. You're to keep on bunking with me." "No," replied Blake. "It was all right, long as we were travelling.
"Seems the beggar's taken a fancy to me," the steward smiled to himself. Nor was he capable of guessing Ah Moy's reason for bunking always on the opposite side from Kwaque. "I changee," the little old cook explained, with anxious eyes to please and placate, in response to Daughtry's direct question. "All the time like that, changee, plentee changee. You savvee?"
Rolla leaped to her feet in amazement, bunking painfully in the unaccustomed glare. "What is this?" she demanded, all the more furiously to hide her fear.

As before, it was crowded to excess, and the memory of the express man's warning was still sufficiently strong to make me prefer the forest to "bunking in" with the motley assemblage; a couple of Eastern Americans shared with me the little camp. We made a fire, laid some boards on the ground, spread a blanket upon them, pulled the "mosquito bars" over our heads, and lay down to attempt to sleep.
Meanwhile I must change my dwelling-place.

Work on the Zone was moving steadily Pacificward and the accommodations refused to come with it at least at the same degree of speed.
"Mother only lectured him for bunking, but I persuaded him to apologize and to put in the next Wednesday doing the work he skipped." "Good for you!" said Max cordially. His gray eyes were very kind and friendly as he rose to leave. "I hope you'll feel more fit to-morrow," he said, shaking hands.
"When you bent forward to pick up your cap I remembered you the moment I put my eyes on that streak of white hair," and then, sure that he had before him a victim whom he could blackmail with perfect impunity, he inquired, "Have you been back to Rugby since I saw you the last time, and say, McDonald, how are the chances for your helping a poor friend to the price of a meal and a bunking place for the night?"
