"Like a man," he answered shortly.，"Here is her dog anyhow!" exclaimed the Admiral, as the little animal marched into the room and stood near Lucy's chair with fore-foot lifted as though she awaited her mistress."Oh," said Mr Lawrence, waking up, "here is a packet left by Miss Acton for you for your feet."

On the day previous they had bent all sails, rove all running rigging, done all that was necessary to render a ship fit for the sea.
