"I wonder if they can see us with a glass," he next observed, as Tom began to hand out bread and butter, with hard-boiled eggs or ham between, and some warm coffee kept in Thermos bottles so as to take the chill of the high altitudes out of their bodies. "Not a chance in a hundred," Beverly assured him.
Two men emerged from the body of the car; one, a short, thick-set figure muffled in a Naval overcoat, stamped up and down to restore his circulation. "Is this the place?" he asked. "Part of it," replied the voice of Uncle Bill from the driving seat. "My nephew will show you the rest. I shall stay here, if Jim doesn't mind handing me the Thermos flask and my cigar-case thanks."
He shut himself into his private experimental workshop and laboratory at the works each day. He did not even come out for lunch, letting Rad bring him down some sandwiches and a thermos bottle of cool milk.

She brought it all the way from the Bronx in a thermos bottle, so I had to drink it or lose a perfectly respectable old aunt. It tasted like a linoleum cocktail weouw!

Peaches tried them all on me and I felt like the inside of a medicine chest.
The groom unstrapped his own greatcoat, which had been carried rolled, and covered the lad with it. Taking a thermos bottle from his haversack, he poured some hot tea between Dick's lips, and saw a little glow of warmth creep into the cheeks. 'Now, sir, he said, 'take a bit 'o' this sandwich. 'Ave another swig o' the tea.
