But when I stared at him inquiringly his expression changed instantly to one of interrogation and complete unconcern. "Ah!" exclaimed Heinze, triumphantly, "he has a permit from the Government." "Let me see it," said the General. I handed it to him, and he drew a camp-chair from the tent, and, seating himself, began to compare me with the passport.
He sank into the canvas camp-chair that was pushed under him in his corner and gulped at the wind fanned into his heaving lungs by the towel flapped up and down by the twisted-nose second. A sharp pain as the cut over his eye was burned with caustic brightened his brain. "Has he had enough?" he heard the referee ask Blake, who was behind him. "No, give me a chance," he gasped.
"My partner's sister; I expect Davies told you, but don't see what this has to do with the thing." "Sit down," said Martin, indicating a camp-chair, and then beckoned one of the men. "Bring some green bark and fix that smudge." The man put fresh fuel on a smoldering fire and pungent blue smoke drifted about the tent. "Better than mosquitoes; they're pretty fierce, evenings," Martin remarked.
I'd rather pack a heavy basket, and lug it over a hot hill, and carry water half a mile, when I picnic, instead of rolling a few miles in a motor car, and then sitting on a nice camp-chair, and having a maid to pass me salads and ices and toast and broiled trout!" "Well, if you would, I wouldn't!" Jim said good-naturedly.
He pressed her shoulders downward and she dropped whitely on a little camp-chair hidden underneath the balcony. "I gotta get out, Charley; I gotta get out and get air. I feel like I'm going to suffocate in here. It's this old cough takes the breath out of me."
His work done, the messenger lighted his pipe, settled himself in his high-backed canvas camp-chair, and put his feet up on his box for a good smoke. He tried to think of a number of things that had nothing whatever to do with Nora, but somehow she invariably elbowed into his thoughts.
It was indeed a scene to defy any artist, but there were some bold enough to attempt it. As Jack pulled up the river he saw, here and there, a fellow-craftsman ensconced in a shady nook with easel and camp-chair. His vigorous strokes sent him rapidly by Strand-on-the-Green, that secluded bit of a village which so few Londoners have taken the trouble to search out.
"I am delighted," said Corona, as soon as she took her usual seat, which was a camp-chair, "to see you all gather about the fire. I was afraid that some of you might think that because we are hermits we must keep away from each other all the time. But we must remember that we are associate hermits, and so should come together occasionally.
Hahlström and Achleitner obediently withdrew, and Frederick nolens volens had to seat himself on the camp-chair. "How can I be of service?" he asked. She put one of those inconsequential requests with which she liked to busy everybody about her. She did this, she explained, because if many people were not doing something for her, she felt neglected.
Under the "umbrella roof" of the Nadia's rear platform the young people of the party were sitting out the early half of the perfect summer night, the card-tables having been abandoned when Benson had brought word of the tacit armistice. There was an unoccupied camp-chair, and Miss Brewster pointed it out to the superintendent. "Climb over and sit with us, Howard," she said, hospitably.
