As the second mate climbed the companion steps Mr Lawrence stood with his hand upon the table and his eyes fastened upon Lucy's door, thinking.

He could head a boarding party, he could look a loaded cannon full in the muzzle, he could risk seizing the side-rope which was connected with a fuse for exploding the powder-room of a pirate that was to be boarded and taken; but he seemed to lack heart for such an enterprise as his opening of that door, and his entrance into that berth signified. Over beside the table, Mrs. Wilson watched him from somber eyes. And with that she fell to singing, from which she broke off after a few moments to burst into a shrieking, lunatic laugh..

Tim nudged him. "What you think of her?" he asked proudly. Anson chuckled, "Well, you ain't goin' to get no chance to do any funny stunts this afternoon," he promised. "I'm here to keep an eye on you." To this Mr. Johnston made no audible reply. He simply nodded, waiting with suspended fork, for his narrator to resume. He bowed with the vehemence of a man who butts at another, struck the floor hard with his staff, and rolled out on legs that showed themselves more expeditious than his years seemed to promise..
