In the sixth week she saw, in her mirror, something that caused her to lean forward, to stare for one intent moment, then to shrink back, wide-eyed. A little sunburst, hair-fine but undeniable, was etched delicately about the corners of her eyes. Fifteen minutes later, she had wired New York thus: Home Friday. Do you still love me?

"Nevertheless, I'm going to try to cross it in the morning." "Of course. So am I. Now let's build a bright camp fire so I can see to do a bit of fancy Indian basket work." The sunburst of dawn woke them from a night of restless sleep.
Night sky, moon, violet, colour of Molly's new garters. Strings. Listen. A girl playing one of those instruments what do you call them: dulcimers. I pass. Probably not a bit like it really. Kind of stuff you read: in the track of the sun. Sunburst on the titlepage. He smiled, pleasing himself.
I had, indeed, sent a cable to my agent in England, which was to be forwarded to the address given me by Boyd Madras at Aden.

We had a succession of black nights, going up the river, and it was observable that whenever we landed, and suddenly inundated the trees with the intense sunburst of the electric light, a certain curious effect was always produced: hundreds of birds flocked instantly out from the masses of shining green foliage, and went careering hither and thither through the white rays, and often a song-bird tuned up and fell to singing.
