Streets had been widened, properly paved and lighted, trees had been planted, squares laid out, elevated structures demolished and underground roads built to replace them. The new government buildings and barracks were fine bits of architecture, and the long system of stone quays which completely surrounded the island had been turned into parks which proved a god-send to the population.
On viewing the plump body next morning Field exclaimed, "That's another God-send!" and notwithstanding his opinion that wolf could not be eaten, he found that wolf to be the best food we had eaten since we had assisted Walker and his tribe in eating the mountain sheep. The French may eat their horses, but I do not want more horse flesh. The old mule made fair but quite coarse beef.
She came to say that the quarter of an hour allowed by the doctor had been long exceeded, and that really Mr Barry ought to take his leave, as so much talking would be bad for Anty. This was quite a god-send for Barry, who was only anxious to be off; but Anty begged for a respite.
It was no easy task to get over the Agatha Mountains and we had to rest for the day near the big Letaba, especially as we had to give the whole file of carts, guns, etc., a chance of forming up again. Here we succeeded in buying some loads of mealies, which were a real God-send to our half-starved horses.
However, it is not for me to criticise a selection which brings a god-send to myself." "To yourself? You jest; you have a journal of your own. It can only be through an excess of good-nature that you lend your name and pen to the service of M. Gustave Rameau." "My good-nature does not go to that extent.

"No you don't," said Traill; "baited traps don't catch me, however alluring they are." So they talked, all through dinner, criticizing in idle good-humour the various people about them. Whenever he was in his sister's company Traill sharpened his wits. Putting on the social gloss, he called it, whenever she laughed at his remarks and told him he would be a God-send at some of her dinners.
She had sent for this son of hers, hoping he might be a decoy-duck to draw Hartledon home again, for she was losing heart; and the accident, which she had not bargained for, was a very god-send to her. "Why don't you word your telegrams more clearly, Hedges?" asked Lord Hartledon of his butler. "It wasn't me worded it at all, my lord. Lady Kirton went to the station herself.
These were at once pronounced by Ibrahimawa to be a perfect god-send, and after a few minutes' grubbing he produced a basketful of fine-looking yams. In an instant this display of food attracted a crowd of hungry people, including those of Ibrahim and my own men, who, not being botanists, had left the search for food to Ibrahimawa, but who determined to share the tempting results.
A nice long night like this is made on purpose for drinking. Will you, sir? keep still then!" "Man never is, but always to be blest," said the moralizing Tomlinson; "you see you sigh for other scenes even when you have a fine night and the chance of a God-send before you."
He's really suffering: cried like hell all last night. It would be a God-send if you could get Doc to do something." A promise was given that the surgeon should be seen at once, but the boy was asked: "How about you?" "Oh," came the cheerful answer, "I'm all right. I haven't anything to hurt. My wounded members are gone just plain gone. But that chap has got something he got the real thing!"
