Ain't he agoin?","My daughter, sir!" cried Captain Acton.,“All right Lize, I’ll jist make a note of that.”，Patricia flung the sewing aside and threw her arms about her friend in a tempest of contrition. "I didn't mean to be horrid," she cried. "You know I wouldn't really be so selfish—if I thought you wanted it. But we have been so happy together here, and I wanted it to go onto the end, just like a beautiful story that ends happily. I'm sorry I seemed mean."，Mr Greyquill stood up. His eyes had a peculiar light in them, a faint flush was painted on each cheek, and seemed to make whiter yet the whiteness of his brows and his hair.，"No, sir. When am I to leave this ship?""It gives me great pleasure to serve my old friend," said Captain Acton.
