I will bring you your shaving-water when you ring." Mr.
He had it round his waist when he crossed this threshold that night. It was lying there just as you see it when the servant brought up his tea and his shaving-water the next morning, and found the room empty and the bed undisturbed." Cleek walked forward and picked up the belt. "Humph! Unfastened!" he said as he took it up; and Miss Morrison, closing the door, went below and left them.
I told Hiram to watch out, an' if he got wind of a good horse to let me know. I guess I'd better go." "I'll get out your clean shirt an' collar," said Mrs. Penn, calmly. She laid out Adoniram's Sunday suit and his clean clothes on the bed in the little bedroom. She got his shaving-water and razor ready.

But presently parochial birds were wrangling underneath the dramatist's window, while he tossed and assured himself that he was sleepier than any saint who ever snored in Ephesus; and presently one hand of Moncrieff was drawing the bed-curtains, while the other carefully balanced a mug of shaving-water.
