Then he hid it in the lining of his coat, there being a convenient rent in the inside pocket. "I must not think!" he murmured. "I must not!" He became the hunted man again. He turned a chair upend and placed it under the window. He tipped another in front of the door. On the threshold of the bathroom door he deposited the water carafe and the glasses. His bed was against the connecting door.
Collison had heard her cries and witnessed her fall from the bridge and was coming to investigate. "What in blazes !" Lanyard replied with a gesture of bewilderment: "She was just going below. I'd stopped to light a cigarette, saw nothing to account for this. Wait: I'll fetch water." He darted down the companionway, filled a glass from a silver thermos carafe, and hurried back.
In the middle of every table was a high vase of yellow flowers, and at intervals down each stood china bowls heaped with apples and grapes. A carafe of cider stood at every plate, for Normans are thirsty and their heads strong. Brigit stood in an upper window looking down as the crowd assorted itself and settled down on the benches by the tables.
In the corner near the window was an Ikon of tinsel and wood; a little round marble-topped table offered a dusty carafe of water. A heavy red-plush bell-rope tapped the wall. He sat down in the faded arm-chair and instantly fell asleep. Was the room hypnotic? Why not?

Angela placed on a table a large Bohemian glass and a crystal carafe, and, going over to the divan, while the filibuster puffed several mouthfuls of tobacco, poured out a brimming glass of Muscatel wine and handed it to him with a charmingly graceful air.
We had all sat absorbed, listening to his extraordinary narrative. At the short account of her father's death Miss Morstan had turned deadly white, and for a moment I feared that she was about to faint. She rallied however, on drinking a glass of water which I quietly poured out for her from a Venetian carafe upon the side-table.
Even now a small child in a black smock stood at his door, waiting to fill his carafe with the black wine that had stained its sides to such a beautiful violet hue. "Bonjour, Christophe " "Bonjour, madame." "You want wine?" "Oui, madame." "Then wait a moment and I will get it for thee."
