I won't thrash you this time, because you've fetched your own thrashing. But !" He finished the sentence by shaking his fist in Tommy's face, and looking as black at him as he was able.
"It's a blinkin' firework show," said a Tommy's voice; and Doe announced in my ear: "Rupert, I'm inspired! I've an idea for a poem. Our lives are a pantomime, and the Genius of the Peninsula is the Demon King; and here we have the flashes and thunder that always illumine the horrors of his cave.... Jumping Jupiter! What's that?"

Two good pairs of boots, and a pair of slacks. Then, as regards sleeping. You may get separated from your valise, though, so take a ground-sheet in your pack.
