She wished Billy’s dinner to have every dignity, and to this end rose and proposed a toast to him. They drank it standing, with cheers. And Billy, accustomed to having the largest voice in every noise, stood and joined lustily; till Jackson, who helped his father at the catering for lodge banquets, and knew a thing or two, reached behind Jean and pulled the back of Billy’s coat violently. “Pst! Set down!” he hissed, tragically.,"All set," cried Stanhope. "Leave your belt loose so I can hang to it and I'm with you. That's right.

"Sluggard as you are, you [Pg 80]have your little ship and her people well in hand. I wonder if there's a foreigner afloat that could have made sail with the despatch that brig exhibited?","Now, maybe the next time you boat-thieves find a punt you'll think twice afore you take it," shouted Billy.,And better worth the youthful maid's desiring.,"I knowed it," whispered the man, softly.
