"I have given quite too much trouble already. I assure you I am quite well enough now to ride back again to Bantry.",“Weren’t you hurt?” asked Bob.，“Yes, Aunt Grenertsen. I’ll go right up now, this minute.”，"I dare say," she says, carelessly, purposely mistaking his meaning: "it must have been cold lying there."，"The lady that lives at Old Harbour House along with Capt'n Acton?" answered Paul.The circumstance of a sail heaving into sight was necessarily brimful of excitement and interest to Captain Acton and the Admiral.
