2 I must dip my hand again and again in the basin of blood and water, and wipe away the trickling gore.
3 The portions were handed round; those who liked took a draught of the water, the mug being common to all.
4 He was taking off my shawl in the hall, and shaking the water out of my loosened hair, when Mrs. Fairfax emerged from her room.
5 I got some water, I got some bread: for perhaps I should have to walk far; and my strength, sorely shaken of late, must not break down.
6 Though it was now dark, I knew he was awake; because I heard him fulminating strange anathemas at finding himself lying in a pool of water.

15 The tall girls went out and returned presently, each bearing a tray, with portions of something, I knew not what, arranged thereon, and a pitcher of water and mug in the middle of each tray.
16 A picturesque track it was, by the way; lying along the side of the beck and through the sweetest curves of the dale: but that day I thought more of the letters, that might or might not be awaiting me at the little burgh whither I was bound, than of the charms of lea and water.
