"But who are you?" she asked; and then, as if the thought had suddenly flashed upon her, she said, "It's never Salvé Kristiansen, who " She stopped here, and Salvé dryly finished the sentence for her "Who deserted from Beck at Rio? the same."
They never came back to America. Whistler, the coxcomb, had Ruskin haled before the tribunal and demanded a thousand pounds as salve for his injured feelings because the author of "Stones of Venice" was colorblind, lacking in imagination, and possessed of a small magazine wherein he briskly told of men, women and things he did not especially admire.
That unwise thought aroused the dull throbbing ache in her heart again and the reasonable salve she offered it had no effect. She slept with it, woke with it, and knew it for the close companion of many days. But Christopher's last thought was, "I am not going to do without her any longer, if I am to meet her any more in this way.
For Jhansi is in the Bundelcund, and the Bundelcund was born in great iniquity. The very name which properly is Bundelakhand, or "the country of the Bundelas" has a history thickly set about with the terrors of caste, of murder and of usurpation. He fled with his disgrace into this region, and after some years found opportunity at least to salve his wounds with blood and power.

Joyce always came over for breakfast; for she lived alone and never had any too much to eat, Nan was sure. As for the old woman's eating with the family, that was a fiction she kept up for appearance's sake, perhaps, or to salve her own claims to former gentility.
He would never go back to Arendal; and he would no longer tread the same deck with the father of Carl Beck. Later on in the night, when the moon had risen, Nils, who had not been able to sleep in his hammock, came up to Salvé again, and drew him aside behind the round-house, as if for a private conversation. "What would I have done? you asked.
Roy, sitting down at his table, pushed aside a half-written page of his novel, and his pen raced over the paper in a headlong letter to Jeffers: an outlet, merely, for his pent-up sensations; and a salve to his conscience. He had neglected Jeffers lately, as well as his novel.
The rustle of her skirts, the creaking of her stays, the jingle her bangle and the vulgar smell of lip salve, toilet vinegar, and scent stolen from her master, aroused me whilst I was doing the rooms with her in the morning a sensation as though I were taking part with her in some abomination.
