He motioned towards a jug of claret-cup and a pipe on the table by his elbow. "I was only looking at 'em." Christian, sitting down beside him, took up a fan. "If I could get out of this heat " he said, and closed his eyes. 'I must tell him, she thought; 'I can't slink away. "Pour me out some of that stuff, Chris." She reached for the jug. Yes!
