There were other items but Caleb read no further. He stood back sucking the stem of his pipe thoughtfully. "Whereabouts did that Billy go, Ann?" he asked at length. After a few airy nothings of salutation and the like had been exchanged and all were seated, Captain Acton said: "Lucy, I am now to introduce Mr Lawrence to you in a new character; he is the captain of the Minorca." "Gosh," cried Elgin Scraff, "there goes the bell! Come on everybody; let's get our medicine." "Gosh," cried Elgin Scraff, "there goes the bell! Come on everybody; let's get our medicine.".
