And Michael had told her a story about a certain king of Egypt who had a beautiful slave, who had such power over him that she could make him do anything she liked. The things she liked were more fantastic than anything Margaret had ever read in The Arabian Nights. Now, on her lounge-chair in front of the hut, Margaret was resting after their walk. Freddy and Michael were both indoors.
She is fitted with bathrooms and comfortable cabins with little beds in them, and on the spacious upper deck are two immense mirrors so placed that all the sights on the shore are reflected in them. You can sit in a lounge-chair and watch them flash past like a continuous cinematograph.
Jefferies was fond of a late chat on the telephone. Steel wondered grimly, if Jefferies would lend him £1,000. He flung himself down in a deep lounge-chair and placed the receiver to his ear. By the deep, hoarse clang of the wires, a long-distance message, assuredly. "From London, evidently. Halloa, London! Are you there?" London responded that it was. A clear, soft voice spoke at length.
The young artist, whose portraits in that year's Academy had created much interest in the artistic world, and whose violet shirt had just been so severely censured, lay back in his lounge-chair, with his arms behind his head and a gleam of amusement in his bright brown eyes. "No, dear Duchess," he said.
There is no special sanctity attached to a place of business in the West, and nobody who knew Alton would have been astonished to find plates of fruit upon the papers which littered his table, and a spirit lamp burning on the big empty stove.

"Those men sought the life of one person only the boy. They went to England to kill him." "And would have done so, Clotilde, had you not saved him," declared her father.

"I have always heard that you are enormously wealthy. You are probably quite right; but," Jack paused in front of the lounge-chair and looked down at the shrunken figure from the height of six-foot-one, "looking back on your own life, sir, has your greatest happiness come from the amount of your possessions?

A shaded lamp stood on the table of Acton's room, and, as Nasmyth entered, he saw Wisbech, whom he had not met since his arrival, sitting just inside the light of it in a lounge-chair. He strode forward and shook hands with his uncle. "Until I got your letter I almost fancied you were in Japan," he said. Wisbech smiled at him. "I shall probably start very shortly.
