At eleven o’clock I was stretched out on a deck chair, my steamer rug over my legs.

How could I stay put in China when my steamer rug was ready for the high seas?

It was a steamer rug made especially for ocean voyages.

Why, dearest, he did nothing but pull my steamer rug up around my neck and tuck me in nice and warm.
