"It is the tumbling of the sea that makes you ill. Here we are as restful as a painting.",Mona, horror-stricken, goes quickly over to her, and touches her lightly on the shoulder.,CHAPTER XI.,“Yes,” he said slowly, “it looks possible to me. Better’n that, Bob, it looks mighty lucky. Nature has given us a big help if it turns out that it is possible.”,"He'll never find the Scroggie will," he would speak again. "He'll always be poor.",Nobody has noticed that anything is wrong. Only Doatie turns very pale, and glances nervously at Geoffrey, who answers her frightened look with a perplexed one of his own..
