Seeing him again in the highest feather and in the full employment of all those little arts and graces which served as a foil to his real worth, I took it as a great honour that he laid them aside for the nonce; and introduced me to the seat of honour and made me known to his companions with a boyish directness and a simple thought for my comfort which infinitely pleased me.

A small trickle of blood flowing down her forehead explained everything; a falling stone had struck her. "Kit, Kit! I hope to God the treasure went up also." He dashed the cold water into her face. The others were unhurt, though dazed, and for the nonce incapable of coherent thought or action. "The boats!" Bruce laid Kathlyn down on the sand and signed to Winnie. "Tend to her.
At all events he wound up by concluding, eschewing for the nonce hidebound precedent, a cup of Epps's cocoa and a shakedown for the night plus the use of a rug or two and overcoat doubled into a pillow at least he would be in safe hands and as warm as a toast on a trivet he failed to perceive any very vast amount of harm in that always with the proviso no rumpus of any sort was kicked up.
