Captain Acton smiled, and looked fondly[Pg 106] at his daughter, and said pleasantly: "And pray, my dear, what are Mr Lawrence's temptations to a voyage to the West Indies?" "But, Mary, there's a doctor at Bridgetown now and—" Lucy Acton made her way towards Old Harbour Town by a lane that struck down off the road used by the coaches and post-chaises.
