Billy shifted uneasily in his seat. He was sorry now that he had not paid closer attention to the reading of the lesson. "Oh, we'll soon stand her up again," said Captain Acton. "Did you recognise the Aurora?" "I'll speak to Miss Acton. I am sure she will have something that is good for rheumatism, and if she has I will send it you.".
