Sheldon sent a house-boy for his thermometer and glanced questioningly at the captain. "Black-water fever," the captain said. "He's been like this for six days, unconscious. And we've got dysentery on board. What's the matter with you?" "I'm burying four a day," Sheldon answered, as he bent over from the steamer-chair and inserted the thermometer under his partner's tongue.
And she shut herself in her room and stayed there, pleading illness in excuse, until Gladys was gone. On the third day from New York, Gladys was so far recovered from seasickness that she dragged herself to the deck. The water was fairly smooth, but a sticky, foggy rain was falling. A deck-steward put her steamer-chair in a sheltered corner.
Nothing mattered now. His troubles were at an end. He could lie down and take care of himself and proceed to get well. The Jessie had arrived. His partner was on board, vigorous and hearty from six weeks' recruiting on Malaita. He could take charge now, and all would be well with Berande. Sheldon lay in the steamer-chair and watched the Jessie's whale-boat pull in for the beach.
It was with a sigh of relief that he at last boarded the Saluria and sank into his steamer-chair. At least there was one satisfaction, no one but Judson knew of his futile search, and Judson was too well trained to discuss his master's affairs. How good it was to be on board once more!
She had endured and she had prevailed; now her reward was come. Now for the long, calm years of happiness. Later in the day, about an hour after noon, Bennett took his daily nap, carefully wrapped in shawls and stretched out in a wicker steamer-chair in the glass-room.
The next day the president's carriage came again for the artist. Keogh went out for a walk along the beach, where he and his "picture box" were now familiar sights. When he returned to the hotel White was sitting in a steamer-chair on the balcony. "Well," said Keogh, "did you and His Nibs decide on the kind of a chromo he wants?" White got up and walked back and forth on the balcony a few times.
"You are very welcome, Azalea. Will you sit here a few minutes before we go in the house?" "Sure! I'll spill myself right into this double-decker!" She threw herself into a long wicker lounging-seat, of the steamer-chair type, and stretched out her feet in evident enjoyment of the relaxation. "Well, this is comfort, after travelling cross country for days and days!
Now, when a person with outrageously blue eyes is leaning on the arm of your steamer-chair, steadying your saucer for you, and the wind has blown everybody else off the deck except a bow-legged Chinese steward who is absorbed in tying things down, it does look as if Fate meant to be propitious. Percival put his cup in his saucer and let his fingers touch the small hand that held it.
The host brought cigars and an extra steamer-chair to the wide veranda. "It's much cooler out here. We'll smoke while the girls tell each other all about it." "I should like to sit on something solid for a few minutes," said the doctor. "It was a most amazing drive." "We're pretty well used to the cañon," said Stone. "Yet I can see how it would strike an Easterner." "Indeed it did, Mr. Stone.
And, besides, she listened to me gabble," he added. Miss Heath was stopping in the home of a friend a rather handsome house, in the midst of thick shrubbery; and they found her wrapped in a blanket and sitting on the porch in a steamer-chair, with Ben reading to her.
