Between the station and the hotel at Nairobi is a long straight wide well-made street, nearly a mile long, and bordered by a double row of young eucalyptus. These latter have changed the main street of Nairobi from the sunbaked array of galvanized houses described by travellers of a half dozen years back to a thoroughfare of great charm.
"Right you are, pard!" agreed Sonora; but at the door he called back to the greaser: "Come on, you oily, garlic-eatin', red-peppery, dog-trottin', sunbaked son of a skunk!" "Come on, you . . .!" came simultaneously from the Deputy, now untying the rope which bound the prisoner. The greaser's teeth were chattering; he begged: "One dreenk I freeze . . ."
Such excitements as all the wives and inamoratas of the Rodrigos and Juans and Franciscos rush to meet the swarthy voyagers and cover them with embraces; such disappointments also, when it is realised that some two score of the company are still on a sunbaked island infinitely far over the western horizon.
At the heels of the horse followed the little black dog. Luck, as explained elsewhere, was sweating and swearing at the heat in Bear Canon. The sun had crept around so that it shone full into a certain bowlder-strewn defile, and up this sunbaked gash old Applehead was toiling, leading the scrawniest burro which Luck had been able to find in the country.
Fan pottery, although rough and sunbaked, is artistic in form and ornamented, for the Fan ornaments all his work; the articles made in it consist of cooking pots, palm-wine bottles, water bottles and pipes, but not all water bottles, nor all pipes are made of pottery.

"It's rich," he pronounced; " the cream of the soil that's been washin' down from the hills for ten thousan' years. But "

Then, sauntering to the gate, he let himself in. "You've surely got a nice posy garden here. Didn't know there was one like it in all sunbaked Arizona." She stood rigid.

We went down the line and looked into the eyes of those men with the used bayonets and rifles; the packs that could almost stow themselves on the shoulders that would be strange without them; at the splashed guns on their repaired wheels, and the easy-working limbers. One could feel the strength and power of the mass as one feels the flush of heat from off a sunbaked wall.
As tea went on Miriam found her eyes drawn back and back again to these newly unpacked camphor-scented dresses... and when conversation broke after moments of stillness... shadowy foliage... the still hot garden... the sunbaked wooden room beyond the sunny saal, the light pouring through three rooms and bright along the table... it was to the Martins' check dresses that she glanced.
