We all did justice to the sheikh's couscoussu, however; for, notwithstanding its want of salt, we had eaten no food so wholesome since we were on board the Spanish ship. Another girl next brought in an earthen jar of water, which we in a few minutes completely emptied. "Thank you, Mr Sheikh," said Ben, after his meal; "long life to your honour." "What does he say?" asked our host.
When we gained the end of the passage, the door of the room we had left closed with a sullen jar. As the sound smote on my ear, with it came so terrible a sense of the solitude upon which that door had closed, so keen and quick an apprehension of some fearful impulse, suggested by passions so fierce to a condition so forlorn, that instinctively I stopped, and then hurried back to the chamber.
But in spite of all this fooling, they really accomplished a great deal. They found very few eatables—candy, fruit, or the like. Mrs. Murdock had wisely sold out this perishable stock. One glass jar, however, was crammed full of what Billy recognized to be “bulls-eyes”—round lumps of candy as big as plums and as hard as stones.
Well, the fact is, we both want a little time to collect ourselves, to settle how we stand.... Sudden deaths are a bad jar, K. They break things up.... Arthur and I were more friends than Oliver liked, you know.
"What if this thing attempts to fly?" she asked. "Your pardon," said the Harvester. "If the emperor moves, slide the lid over the box a few seconds, until he settles and clings quietly again, and then slowly draw it away. If you are careful not to jar the table heavily he will not go for hours yet." Again he turned. "If there is no danger, why do you leave the dog?"
Suddenly, Hal Smith, one of the other lads, said, "Here, Whatman, I'll fetch it this time, same as I have before, and we'll make him have a drink, and that will put a stop to his teetotal whining." Seizing the jar and looking out cautiously to see that the coast was clear, he hurried off, while Whatman, muttering angrily, turned away.
Anyway, this thing is worth looking into. There is one thing that there should be a law passed about, and that is, these glass fruit jars, with a top that screws on. It should be made a criminal offense, punishable with death or banishment to Chicago, for a person to manufacture a fruit jar, for preserving fruit, with a top that screws on.
In one corner of the walls was a bracket, holding an Indian jar filled with pot-pourri; and that and the climbing honeysuckle outside the open window scented the room more exquisitely than any toilette perfumes. Hamley lying on the sofa. 'Shall we stay up here, m dear? I think it is pleasanter than down below; and then I shall not have to come upstairs again at dressing- time.

Then, when they saw him turn so, a great hooting and yelling arose from all, so that the folk came running out from the dancing booth to see what was to do.
"I can imagine what it feels like when two bits of broken bone get rubbing together. Every jolt and jar must give him hell." He went slower still, at a funeral pace, and looking back into the ambulance said "Ca y est, mon vieux... Bon courage!"
