He came out of his abstraction with a start and glanced at her, almost guiltily. "Yes, Chick." "Reserve what you have to say for my private ear!" exclaimed Captain Acton, with a severe look and in a stern voice. "Where is your Captain?" "Still begging of your honours' pardon," said Captain Weaver, "suppose the Minorca do back her topsail and we launch our boat; Mr Lawrence makes out his father and Captain Acton in the starn sheets. Will he stay to receive ye? Won't he fill on his topsail and be off?" "Good morning, Mr Lawrence," said Mr Greyquill, making the gentleman a low bow.
