"With your permission I shall tell him so, Daddy.",Erie was waving to him from the kitchen door. "Where's Maurice?" she called.,"As the majority of men strut this petty earth on drum-sticks," said General Groves. "I expect that in a few years hence the universal male wear will be trousers.",Sir William, however, was a man not in the habit of taking long or deep views. His son was thinking of his good luck, of his meeting that evening with Captain Acton, of the opportunities for advancement which now lay before him, and these reflections would naturally colour his manner and make him[Pg 61] appear somewhat strange to those who knew him best.,"I'm here, ma'am," answered Pledge.，In the deep silence following his answer Billy sat down. Then a murmur of gasps, whispers and giggles grew up, which died suddenly to silence again, as Mr. Keeler's voice rang out.，Lucy looked at her father with an expression of surprise that vanished from her fine dramatic eyes in an instant.，"Good gracious!" cried the mother, in alarm. "That good fer nuthin' boy has gone an' caught the foot an' mouth disease from Kearnie's sheep."As he advanced, one of the sailors came away from a little crowd of men manifestly with the object of addressing him. This man was Pledge's friend "Old Jim." He was about forty-five, with a neck as long as a piece of broken pillar, and lantern jaws deformed by a growth of mustard-coloured hair sprouting in single fibres. He had but three or four teeth in his gums, two of which shot outwards and lifted his upper lip.

Now, that's settled, let me tell you what Maurice and me was talkin' about when you met us.",Comfortingly her husband's hand covered it from sight, as though he sought to achieve by this small token of understanding that which he could not hope to achieve by mere words.,"Where the dickens are my pants?" he whispered. "See anythin' of 'em, Bill?","We want you to finish the song you was just now singing and broke off in.",He leaped from the fence. "Good bye," he called back over his shoulder. "I hear old Cherry bawlin' fer her drink.","It seemed longer than that to me, Billy," laughed Stanhope. "Once or twice I thought we were goners, but you pulled the old girl through nobly.","You have been half-starved in that brig," said Captain Acton, searching his daughter's face, and running his eyes over her dress.,"I should like," said the Admiral, "to have met Nelson. In all my going a-fishing I never fell in his way.","I understand," said the Admiral. "This[Pg 113] should prove a very good offer—very good terms. What will this ship carry?","Oh, say no more, sir, about that. I am pleased with the idea of a Naval officer being in charge of my ship.","Oh, madam, my dearest madam," exclaimed the Admiral in a voice broken with feeling, "how am I to thank you? What words do your angelic goodness leave me for the conveyance of my gratitude?",The skipper entered, red, nervous, with a countenance slightly lifted by astonishment. Of course he knew that Miss Lucy Acton[Pg 224] had been missing since the morning, but that was all he did know..
