You can't always be sure of the right answer to X in any proposition of life; that is, a woman can't!,Her only reply to his speech was (as though she had not attended to his meaning), "Are you going to keep me a prisoner in this cabin?"，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.，"May I have the great honour of showing you the cabin, Miss?" said Mr Lawrence.，"I beg your pardon, sir——" began the man.“So you would rather be an engineer than a lawyer, Bob? Is that what you want to tell me?”

The dinner was served this day at one o'clock. The humpbacked steward brought the dishes aft from the galley or caboose, as the little cooking place used to be called. The ship had only just come out of port, and she[Pg 263] had brought with her a stock of fresh provisions, meat, and vegetables, and the like, which would supply the cabin and the forecastle with fresh messes for some days.

You will have a little Princess, more beautiful than Venus herself; do not trouble yourself about anything else, time alone can comfort you."
