The window-sills on the ground floor were beset, and a dense knot had formed in the doorway. Inside, the patients had first occupied the seats which surrounded the walls, and then covered the available floor-space, sitting on camp-stools and folding-chairs. Coué with some difficulty found me a seat, and the treatment immediately began.
Especially," she laughed mischievously, showing a whole nest of baby dimples in one pink cheek, "I warn you frankly that this is a hint! especially things you can eat!" Noreen and Ida chuckled sympathetically. "Come along! There is still a bed of late strawberries. We'll take camp-stools from the summer-house, and you shall sit and feast until you are tired, and we'll sit and watch you, and talk.
By this means I not only saw sea-bathing for the first time, but I saw a storm at sea: a squall struck us so suddenly that it blew away all the camp-stools of the forward promenade; it was very exciting, and I long meant to use in literature the black wall of cloud that settled on the water before us like a sort of portable midnight; I now throw it away upon the reader, as it were; it never would come in anywhere.
A quarrelsome band of footsore sulky niggers trod on the heels of the donkey; a lot of tents, camp-stools, tin boxes, white cases, brown bales would be shot down in the courtyard, and the air of mystery would deepen a little over the muddle of the station.
Turk saw there was trouble, and whined around his master, as if inquiring whether there was anything that he could do to bring matters to an adjustment. "No, Turk; he's my game," said Jim. "Ye couldn't eat 'im no more nor ye could a muss rat." There were just three seats in the cabin two camp-stools and a chest. "That's the seat for ye," said Jim to Yates, pointing to the chest.
I don't know whether I have been eating anything more than usually brain stimulating everything has a physical basis but I have come back from this scattered holiday full of new ideas." Presently they are seated on camp-stools sipping tea, eating strawberries and cakes, under the striped sun-blind. Norie continues: "Do you remember Beryl Clarges at Newnham?"
So easily and well did he do his duty, that both girls enjoyed watching him after he had established them on the shady side of the boat, with camp-stools for their feet, cushions to lean on, books and bags laid commodiously at hand.
"Why not do it over again to make sure?" "Oh no, it was perfectly obvious. Let's get on to the final scene." "I'm afraid that will give it away rather," said Myra. "I'm afraid so," agreed Archie. We sat on camp-stools and looked up at the ceiling with our mouths open. "'E's late," said Archie. "I don't believe 'e's coming, and I don't mind 'oo 'ears me sye so," said Myra. "So there!"
"I have the honour to salute you," I said aloud. "I make my apologies for misbehaving with sandwiches and camp-stools in your presence, Madame d'Armand." Something in my own pronunciation of her name struck me as reminiscent: save for the prefix, it had sounded like "Harman," as a Frenchman might pronounce it. Foreign names involve the French in terrible difficulties.
We found it safe and sound, but black with mould and damp, useless for the time being, so my father opened his camp-chest and we used his forks, spoons, plates, etc., while his camp-stools supplied the deficiency in seats. He often teased my sisters about their experiments in cookery and household arts, encouraging them to renewed efforts after lamentable failures.
