At eleven o'clock she came again , -- just as pink , -- just as blue , -- just as gray , -- just as golden . And the cup of malted milk she brought with her was just as huge , -- just as hot , -- just as steaming , -- only this time she had smuggled two raw eggs into it .

The Senior Surgeon was unusually loquacious this time . `` Have you any more malted milk ? '' he asked tersely .
