"Lord forbid! She is too God-fearing, and too nobly and sweetly moulded as a woman to be capable of any such descent." Mr Eagle stood at the head of the side ladder when Captain Acton and the others stepped on board. At his elbow was Mr Pledge. Some of the crew were grinning, and all seemed to be hugely delighted by what was happening. "No," answered Hinter, resuming his seat, "I believe not.
