They were baffling by their quality of brilliance, unlike the usual slumbrous Eastern orbs that puzzle chiefly by refusal to express emotion. The Rajput bowed and said nothing, so Tess offered him a chair, which Chamu drew up more fussily than ever. "Have you had breakfast?" she asked, taking the conscious risk.
The trio ate joyously, washing the fare down with big draughts of tea, rather fussily prepared by Neal, which might have "done credit to many a Boston woman's afternoon tea-table" so young Garst said. Yet from time to time longing looks were cast at the low camp-door.

The little boys huddled together, and punched each other without motive, crowding each other off the seat, and showing the pennies they held in their moist little palms. The superintendent tapped his bell.
