     17254starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0011 YET HE HAD SPARED NO PAINS TO GIVE IT ECLAT 
     17255starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0012 IN FACT UNDER THE AUSPICES OF CORPORAL JOLIFFE 
     17256starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0013 THE LARGE ROOM ON THE GROUND FLOOR WAS COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED

     17263starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0020 RELIEVED THE GLOOMY APPEARANCE OF THE BLACKENED BEAMS OF THE CEILING 
     17264starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0021 AND SUFFICIENTLY ILLUMINATED THE MISTY ATMOSPHERE OF THE ROOM

     17268starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0025 BUT TWO OR THREE PIECES OF RED BUNTING

     17293starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0050 A WONDERFUL WOMAN CORPORAL HER EQUAL IS NOT TO BE FOUND CAPTAIN 
     17294starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0051 AN IMMENSE BRICK AND EARTHENWARE STOVE OCCUPIED THE CENTRE OF THE ROOM 
     17295starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0052 WITH A HUGE IRON PIPE PASSING FROM IT THROUGH THE CEILING 
     17296starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0053 AND CONDUCTING THE DENSE BLACK SMOKE INTO THE OUTER AIR 
     17297starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0054 THIS STOVE CONTAINED A ROARING FIRE 
     17298starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0055 CONSTANTLY FED WITH FRESH SHOVELFULS OF COAL BY THE STOKER 
     17299starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0056 AN OLD SOLDIER SPECIALLY APPOINTED TO THE SERVICE 
     17300starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0057 NOW AND THEN A GUST OF WIND DROVE BACK A VOLUME OF SMOKE INTO THE ROOM 
     17301starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0058 DIMMING THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LAMPS 
     17302starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0059 AND ADDING FRESH BLACKNESS TO THE BEAMS OF THE CEILING 
     17303starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0060 WHILST TONGUES OF FLAME SHOT FORTH FROM THE STOVE 
     17304starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0061 BUT THE GUESTS OF FORT RELIANCE THOUGHT LITTLE OF THIS SLIGHT INCONVENIENCE 
     17305starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0062 THE STOVE WARMED THEM AND THEY COULD NOT PAY TOO DEARLY FOR ITS CHEERING HEAT 
     17306starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0063 SO TERRIBLY COLD WAS IT OUTSIDE IN THE CUTTING NORTH WIND 
     17307starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0064 THE STORM COULD BE HEARD RAGING WITHOUT THE SNOW FELL FAST 
     17308starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0065 BECOMING RAPIDLY SOLID AND COATING THE ALREADY FROSTED WINDOW PANES WITH FRESH ICE 
     17309starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0066 THE WHISTLING WIND MADE ITS WAY THROUGH THE CRANKS AND CHINKS OF THE DOORS AND WINDOWS 
     17310starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0067 AND OCCASIONALLY THE RATTLING NOISE DROWNED EVERY OTHER SOUND 
     17311starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0068 PRESENTLY AN AWFUL SILENCE ENSUED NATURE SEEMED TO BE TAKING BREATH 
     17312starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0069 BUT SUDDENLY THE SQUALL RECOMMENCED WITH TERRIFIC FURY 
     17313starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0070 THE HOUSE WAS SHAKEN TO ITS FOUNDATIONS THE PLANKS CRACKED 
     17314starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0071 THE BEAMS GROANED A STRANGER LESS ACCUSTOMED THAN THE HABITUES OF THE FORT

     17316starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0073 WOULD HAVE ASKED IF THE END OF THE WORLD WERE COME 
     17317starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0074 BUT WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS CAPTAIN CRAVENTY'S GUESTS TROUBLED THEMSELVES LITTLE ABOUT THE WEATHER 
     17318starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0075 AND IF THEY HAD BEEN OUTSIDE 
     17319starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0076 THEY WOULD HAVE FELT NO MORE FEAR THAN THE STORMY PETRELS 
     17320starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0077 DISPORTING THEMSELVES IN THE MIDST OF THE TEMPEST 
     17321starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0078 TWO ONLY OF THE ASSEMBLED COMPANY DID NOT BELONG TO THE ORDINARY SOCIETY OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

     17328starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0085 FOR IN THESE REMOTE LANDS PEOPLE LOOK UPON EACH OTHER AS NEIGHBOURS 
     17329starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0086 ALTHOUGH THEIR HOMES MAY BE A HUNDRED MILES APART 
     17330starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0087 A GOOD MANY EMPLOYEES OR TRADERS CAME FROM FORT PROVIDENCE OR FORT RESOLUTION

     17337starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0094 THE LUCKLESS SQUAWS BEING STILL LOOKED UPON AS LITTLE BETTER THAN SLAVES 
     17338starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0095 THE PRESENCE OF THESE NATIVES IS ACCOUNTED FOR 
     17339starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0096 BY THE FACT THAT THEY ARE IN CONSTANT INTERCOURSE WITH THE TRADERS 
     17340starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0097 AND SUPPLY THE GREATER NUMBER OF FURS WHICH PASS THROUGH THE HANDS OF THE HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY 
     17341starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0098 IN EXCHANGE FOR OTHER COMMODITIES

     17348starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0105 SUCH WAS THE COMPANY TO WHOM THE CAPTAIN WAS DOING THE HONOURS OF FORT RELIANCE 
     17349starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0106 THERE WAS NO DANCING FOR WANT OF MUSIC 
     17350starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0107 BUT THE BUFFET ADMIRABLY SUPPLIED THE WANT OF THE HIRED MUSICIANS OF THE EUROPEAN BALLS 
     17351starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0108 ON THE TABLE ROSE A PYRAMIDAL PUDDING MADE BY MRS JOLIFFE'S OWN HANDS

     17357starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0114 YET THERE REMAINED ENOUGH AND TO SPARE PILES OF SANDWICHES

     17363starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0120 MADE SHORT WORK OF THE TOUGH BISCUITS 
     17364starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0121 AND FOR DRINK THERE WAS PLENTY OF WHISKY AND GIN HANDED ROUND IN LITTLE PEWTER POTS 
     17365starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0122 NOT TO SPEAK OF A GREAT BOWL OF PUNCH

     17367starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0124 AND OF WHICH THE INDIANS TALKED LONG AFTERWARDS IN THEIR WIGWAMS 
     17368starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0125 ENDLESS WERE THE COMPLIMENTS PAID TO THE JOLIFFES THAT EVENING 
     17369starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0126 BUT THEY DESERVED THEM HOW ZEALOUSLY THEY WAITED ON THE GUESTS 
     17370starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0127 WITH WHAT EASY GRACE THEY DISTRIBUTED THE REFRESHMENTS 
     17371starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0128 THEY DID NOT NEED PROMPTING THEY ANTICIPATED THE WISHES OF EACH ONE 
     17372starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0129 THE SANDWICHES WERE SUCCEEDED BY SLICES OF THE INEXHAUSTIBLE PUDDING

     17380starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0137 BUT THEIR POWERS OF PERSUASION WERE SUCH THAT THE MOST RELUCTANT YIELDED IN THE END 
     17381starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0138 THE QUANTITIES OF FOOD AND DRINK CONSUMED WERE REALLY ENORMOUS

     17434starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0191 WITH A ROUGH BEARD THAT LOOKED AS IF IT WERE MADE OF COCOA NUT FIBRE 
     17435starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0192 CONSTITUTIONALLY BRAVE AND DISPOSED TO OBEY RATHER THAN TO COMMAND 
     17436starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0193 HE HAD NO AMBITION BUT TO OBEY THE ORDERS HE RECEIVED NEVER QUESTIONING THEM 
     17437starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0194 HOWEVER STRANGE THEY MIGHT APPEAR NEVER REASONING FOR HIMSELF WHEN ON DUTY FOR THE COMPANY 
     17438starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0195 A TRUE MACHINE IN UNIFORM BUT A PERFECT MACHINE NEVER WEARING OUT 
     17439starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0196 EVER ON THE MARCH YET NEVER SHOWING SIGNS OF FATIGUE 
     17440starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0197 PERHAPS SERGEANT LONG WAS RATHER HARD UPON HIS MEN 
     17441starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0198 AS HE WAS UPON HIMSELF HE WOULD NOT TOLERATE THE SLIGHTEST INFRACTION OF DISCIPLINE 
     17442starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0199 AND MERCILESSLY ORDERED MEN INTO CONFINEMENT FOR THE SLIGHTEST NEGLECT 
     17443starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0200 WHILST HE HIMSELF HAD NEVER BEEN REPRIMANDED 
     17444starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0201 IN A WORD HE WAS A MAN BORN TO OBEY 
     17445starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0202 AND THIS SELF ANNIHILATION SUITED HIS PASSIVE TEMPERAMENT 
     17446starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0203 MEN SUCH AS HE ARE THE MATERIALS OF WHICH 
     17447starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0204 A FORMIDABLE ARMY IS FORMED THEY ARE THE ARMS OF THE SERVICE 
     17448starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0205 OBEYING A SINGLE HEAD IS NOT THIS THE ONLY REALLY POWERFUL ORGANISATION 
     17449starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0206 THE TWO TYPES OF FABULOUS MYTHOLOGY BRIAREUS WITH A HUNDRED ARMS 
     17450starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0207 AND HYDRA WITH A HUNDRED HEADS WELL REPRESENT 
     17451starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0208 THE TWO KINDS OF ARMIES AND IN A CONFLICT BETWEEN THEM 
     17452starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0209 WHICH WOULD BE VICTORIOUS BRIAREUS WITHOUT A DOUBT 
     17453starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0210 WE HAVE ALREADY MADE ACQUAINTANCE WITH CORPORAL JOLIFFE 
     17454starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0211 HE WAS THE BUSY BEE OF THE PARTY 
     17455starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0212 BUT IT WAS PLEASANT TO HEAR HIM HUMMING 
     17456starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0213 HE WOULD HAVE MADE A BETTER MAJOR DOMO THAN A SOLDIER 
     17457starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0214 AND HE WAS HIMSELF AWARE OF THIS 
     17458starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0215 SO HE CALLED HIMSELF THE CORPORAL IN CHARGE OF DETAILS 
     17459starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0216 BUT HE WOULD HAVE LOST HIMSELF A HUNDRED TIMES 
     17460starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0217 AMONGST THESE DETAILS HAD NOT LITTLE MRS JOLIFFE 
     17461starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0218 GUIDED HIM WITH A FIRM HAND 
     17462starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0219 SO IT CAME TO PASS THAT CORPORAL JOLIFFE 
     17463starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0220 OBEYED HIS WIFE WITHOUT OWNING IT DOUBTLESS THINKING TO HIMSELF 
     17464starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0221 LIKE THE PHILOSOPHER SANCHO A WOMAN'S ADVICE IS NO SUCH GREAT THING 
     17465starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0222 BUT HE MUST BE A FOOL WHO DOES NOT LISTEN TO IT

     17483starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0240 WAS SOMEWHAT MASCULINE AND HER WHOLE APPEARANCE WAS SUGGESTIVE 
     17484starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0241 OF MORAL POWER RATHER THAN OF FEMALE GRACE 
     17485starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0242 SHE WAS AN ENGLISHWOMAN FROM YORKSHIRE POSSESSED OF SOME FORTUNE 
     17486starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0243 THE GREATER PART OF WHICH WAS EXPENDED IN ADVENTUROUS EXPEDITIONS

     17489starlite-20070613-fur1/mfc/fur0246 SHE WAS DOUBTLESS ANXIOUS TO PENETRATE TO THE EXTREME LIMITS OF THE HYPERBOREAN
