"You're all right, Mason," Hicks answered. "Going below down cellar, 's feller says; go to bed." "Well, that's a pious idea," said the mate. "You couldn't do better than that. I'll lend you a hand." "Don't care 'f I do," responded Hicks, taking the mate's proffered arm. But he really seemed to need it very little; he walked perfectly well, and he did not look across at the others again.
A pair of turtle doves over their heads were less indifferent to the sun's rays than they, for the birds had closed their eyes, and the head of the mother bird was resting languidly against the dark collar round her mate's neck. By Georg Ebers The Vekeel, like the Persian lovers, did not allow the heat of the day to interfere with his plans.
At his message that he was waiting for her on the marshes under the hillside she remembered what love is a shelter, a wing, a witty clemency that finds the perfect unguent for its mate's hurt as easily as a wit finds jests, a tender alchemy that changes the dark evil subsistence of the universe to bright, valuable gold.
Richard Rosco divined pretty well what was passing in his mate's mind. He also knew that as long as they were in sight of the boat, his enemy would not dare to injure him; he therefore threw his rifle carelessly over his shoulder, and walked with the most easy air of nonchalance over the strip of level land that lay between the sea and the forest that fringed the mountain base.
They did not, however, appear to by any means enter into the spirit of the thing, hanging back so coldly unresponsive to the mate's jovial invitation that the latter paused in blank astonishment.

I was always a bit obstinate, and I'd sooner have chopped the chest up for firewood than have been bullied into letting them have it; but I was sorry that I hadn't taken the mate's offer, for Isaac and I had measured it all over inside and out, and calculated that there wasn't space anywhere for a secret drawer.
"When are a steamer's boats ever clear for hoisting out?" he asked. "Always, when the mate's fit for his job," was the answer. "Go and make sure of the starboard lifeboat, and call the watch." The Captain took his ship round to windward of the distressed vessel, running astern of her within a quarter of a mile.
Doc had been chased by Peth, and in escaping from the mate's fury, the steward, being barefoot, had burned his feet so badly that he couldn't walk, having run into some of the red-hot sand. So Doc was to have been left behind in the night attack on the schooner, and it was due to his disability that the trio was able to steal the dinghy.
An instant later the explosion occurred, though Hudson thought it was caused by the misdirected bullet of one of the convicts rather than the mate's match. Be the cause what it may, it was the end of the Gloria Scott and of the rabble who held command of her. "'Such, in a few words, my dear boy, is the history of this terrible business in which I was involved.
"However," he said, "I'll be round in an hour, and if you haven't got me lovely mate ready look out!" Then he shook his fist sternly at them once more and said "I know yer dirty tricks and dodges, and if there's e'er a pin-scratch on me mate's body look out! If there's a pairin' of Dinny's toe-nail missin' look out!" 'Then he went out taking the coffin with him.
