"I am not returning to Old Harbour House—not immediately. I am going to the Harbour—I am going for a little walk.","I guess your Dad don't think much of us folks down here, does he?" Billy asked.,Lou knit her brows in thought. "No," she disagreed, "if you had been that frightened you would not have come to the grove at all.",He stood musing. It was, as we have seen, about a quarter past ten. Captain Acton would not have completed his business until[Pg 169] something after eleven. Should the Admiral invade him with the announcement of this strange disappearance of his ship? He considered the matter a little, and concluded that it must be impossible but that, although Captain Acton had been silent on the subject at the breakfast table, he must know the business of his ship, and that it was understood between him and Mr Lawrence that if the wind served, or anything unforeseen befell, or if Mr Lawrence in his judgment chose to sail before the time announced, he was at liberty to let go his fasts and blow into the open at any hour he pleased. Thus it struck the old man, though secretly he did not regard his own reasoning as sagacious.，"Can I be of service to you, Sir William?" said the girl, picking up her dog to silence it.，"But to fall over the edge of a cliff is not an outrage," said Captain Acton.，"Oh yes, thoroughly—very thoroughly.""I saw Mr Lawrence on several occasions yesterday," exclaimed Captain Acton, "and he did not suggest by a syllable that he was making ready to sail early this morning before the various officials he would have to see were aboard."

Besides, we carry no surgeon, which was an additional incentive to my suggesting a sick-bay to Captain Acton.",The carriage stopped opposite the steps on the bridge down which Sir William, holding Miss Acton by the hand, conducted the old lady with admirable solicitude for her safety, begging her not to hurry, but to lean upon him and not trust to her cane. The two dogs were left behind.,Billy had thrown off his shooting-coat and was climbing out of the blind.,"No," she said in low tense tones, "your son don't need me. I'm nuthin' to him.
