When the inspector had gone, Tiger wiped his forehead and sighed. "That was no routine shakedown!" he said. "What is a Wenberg electrophoresis?" "A method of separating serum proteins," Jack Alvarez said. "You ran them in third year biochemistry. And if we do hit a virus epidemic, you'd better know how, too."
"Well, boss," said the joker, "can you let us have beds, then? I don't want to freeze here all night, anyway." "Yes," said the landlord, "I can do that, but some of you will have to sleep double and some of you'll have to take it out of the sofas, and one or two 'll have to make a shakedown on the floor. There's plenty of bags in the stable, and you've got rugs and coats with you.
Clearly he was no longer at the tavern, and clearly some one had taken the trouble to bandage his hurts. At length his eyes rolling from side to side focused themselves on a low opening near the foot of his shakedown bed. Beyond this opening, and at some little distance, he saw a sunbonneted woman of a plump and comfortable presence. She was leaning against a tub which rested on a rude bench.
Jack Dalton, as my old readers know, was a guide of that vicinity, well known to all the inhabitants for miles around. He had visited the boys' camp during the summer and had been friendly in more ways than one. "Thought I might get a shakedown here for the night," said Jack Dalton.
Don't let me keep you! All I want is a cold bath. And then if you've got a spare shakedown of any sort going to bed is mere ritual with me. I can sleep on my head anywhere."

The Enterprise had borne the Ward sword and atom-symbol; the Nemesis should bear his own badge, but the bisonoid head, tawny on green, of Traskon, was no longer his. He chose a skull impaled on an upright sword, and it was blazoned on the ship when he and Harkaman took her out for her shakedown cruise.
Punch a few holes in a hat-box, and make it up a shakedown inside. It'll be company for you." "Something in that. My wife's away just now and it's a bit lonely in the evenings." "You'll never be lonely with Peter around. He's a great scout. Always merry and bright." "He doesn't bite, I suppose, or sting or what-not?" "He may what-not occasionally. It depends on the weather.
"Here!" exclaimed Father Maguire, after the feeble prelate had been assisted to this recess, "here, now, put his lordship to bed; I have tossed it up for him in great style! I assure you, my dear friends, it's a shakedown fit for a prince! and better than most of the thieves deserve. What bed of down ever had the sweet fragrance this flowery heather sends forth?
He lived in such an out-of-the-way suburb that it would be quite impossible for him to go home to sleep. I was only too delighted to be of service to him. Although I could not offer him a bed, it would be easy to improvise a shakedown on which he could have a few hours' rest.
In a miserable den, an hour or so before there are miserable dens even in Baden, that gold-decked rendezvous of princes, where crowned heads are numberless as couriers, and great ministers must sometimes be content with a shakedown two men sat in consultation. Though the chamber was poor and dark, their table was loaded with various expensive wines and liqueurs.
