When the plug is pulled from a washbasin the particles of water, in moving toward the center, in order to get out of the basin, invariably set up a rotary motion. As the particles of this diffused nebula began to gather together they, too, gave to the mass a rotary movement.
"I'd clean forgot him," said Randerson. Masten came in a few minutes later. He spoke a few words to Uncle Jepson, but ignored Randerson. Supper was announced soon after Masten's entrance, and Uncle Jepson led Randerson around to the rear porch, where he introduced him to a tin washbasin and a roller towel. Uncle Jepson also partook of this luxury, and then led the new range boss inside.
"My own pet!" he said, rising suddenly. His voice shook. What delightful moments these were! Unfortunately, oh! yes, indeed, unfortunately, he could not press his lathered face to mine! "Wait a little," he exclaimed, darting toward the washbasin, full of water, "wait an instant!" But it seemed as if it took him a week to wash it off. Madame Ah! it is so nice of you to come home early!
Before dark she took a last look about the child's room. The owl paper, the puppy washbasin, the huge calendar with its picture of a stag, the shelves for whatever things of his own he had, all pleased her newly. She had laid on his table her grandfather's Bible with pictures of Asiatic places.
It's a perfect shame! Really, he has a fine head, monsieur! Wait, I'll show it to you before putting him to bed." She went to a table on which stood the washbasin a pitcher of water, soap and a comb and brush. She took the brush, returned to the bed and pushed back the drunkard's tangled hair.
Though he slept soundly, he awoke instantly, like a cat, and he awoke eagerly, glad that the five hours of unconsciousness were gone. He hated the oblivion of sleep. There was too much to do, too much of life to live. He grudged every moment of life sleep robbed him of, and before the clock had ceased its clattering he was head and ears in the washbasin and thrilling to the cold bite of the water.
He succeeded in working up a palpable fever and a windy yawning beneath the diaphragm. Before taking any action he would have to confirm what he had seen through the window of the lavatory. On his last trip to the lavatory he climbed up onto the slippery washbasin and looked through the high window. His position there would be impossible to explain, of course, if anyone should come in.
"All right, Jupe, we'll be right over," said Jack, "just as soon as we've got some of this grease off our hands." The boys' workshop was equipped with a washbasin and they soon made themselves presentable. Then they hurried to Mr. Chadwick's workshop. They found him standing before a roughly-built table on which were ranged some odd-looking bits of apparatus.
