"Go in presently and see if she's done, and ask if she'll have some fruit pie or cake, and report if the tray is still on the deck."

He stood close to the door viewing this picture of a sleeping girl in a ship's little cabin irradiated by a dim light, whose motions, with the rolling and the pitching of the ship, filled the darkling interior with a hundred dancing spectres.
