"You can't think what a charming sight it was. Like an old legend or a fairy-tale. Was it a minuet you were dancing?",“Yes, Mosey, I jist want to go to my mornin’-glory garding to tell it good-night.” She rubbed her sleepy tear-stained eyes.,"Miss Acton and I agreed to elope.

It was to be assumed that her father had fallen ill in this ship whilst inspecting her early this morning, and the stratagem was to be carried out by his dictating a letter to me begging his daughter to come at once to the vessel. This she did, and she is now below. Do you understand me, Mr Eagle?"，"Miss Judith Kent Kendall has just had her first story accepted and printed in The Girl's Companion."，"When you have cleared this table, go forward and tell the cook to cut a plate of the most delicate beef and chicken sandwiches he can contrive.
