Dark as was the water, no sooner were the oars dipped in it than it appeared as if they were ladling up some red-hot fluid metal; and as the boat which was sent to take us off pulled toward us from the ship, she left a long line of fire in her wake. Even when we scooped up the water in our hands and threw it into the air, it appeared like sparkles of fire, so long did it retain its brilliancy.
He put Robin down on Mrs Blossom's seat, and lifted Meg into a large arm-chair he had just quitted. 'I guess you could eat a morsel of tripe, he said, ladling it out in overflowing spoonfuls upon the plates.
