"Well, John," said Pledge, "it's not for me nor the likes of me to interfere in such a galavantin' job as this. If the young lady's been run away with with her own consent, it's not for me, I says, to pay any attention to what's 'appening.

"And he left no address behind?" questioned Mr. Johnston. "I have a few words to say to my son," said the Admiral.
