When the World Shook

CHAPTER XIV
4/28

Bastin there, he believes all.

Humphrey?
He is not sure; he thinks to himself, I will wait and find out whether or no these funny people cheat me." Bickley coloured and made some remark about things which were contrary to experience, also that Tommy in a general way was rather a greedy little dog.
"You, too, like to eat, Bickley" (this was true, he had an excellent appetite), "but when you have drunk the Life-water you will care much less." "I am glad to hear it," interrupted Bastin, "for Bickley wants a lot of cooking done, and I find it tedious." "You eat also, Lady," said Bickley.
"Yes, I eat sometimes because I like it, but I can go weeks and not eat, when I have the Life-water.

Just now, after so long a sleep, I am hungry.

Please give me some of that fruit.

No, not the flesh, flesh I hate." We handed it to her.
