You need refreshment. Pray sit, pray sit! What will you take?" "I understand," said the Admiral. "This[Pg 113] should prove a very good offer—very good terms. What will this ship carry?" After some further conversation to this effect, during which it was manifest that Captain Acton was very well satisfied with the generous resolution he had formed that morning to offer the command of the Minorca to Sir William's son, he left his chair and conducted Mr Lawrence to the drawing-room.
