I'll start in on dressin' 'em right now," he chuckled, exchanging winks with Billy.，"Wounded whistlers aren't as hard to retrieve as redhead or bluebill," said Stanhope.，"Oh come, come!" cried the Admiral, "don't make me feel more ashamed of myself than I am. But, Miss Lucy, is not the sea a subject about which you cannot think without being[Pg 110] inspired with thoughts high above those which visit you from other topics?"，His companion, a tall, thin man, grinned, but said nothing.

I have dined more heartily off such a dish than at many a dinner ashore of ten or twelve courses.","Good!" cried the Admiral with a laugh and an applauding flourish of the hand, and[Pg 94] with this laugh, and smiles and bows from the ladies, Sir William and his companions pursued their way to the Minorca.,"No," answered Hinter, resuming his seat, "I believe not.

He longed to ask her if what the Settlement was saying—that she was going to marry Hinter—was true. And then as quickly as the thought itself came shame of it. His hand clasped her hand more tightly.,"I am his father, my lord," replied Sir William with a low bow, of which the gravity that coloured it was very intelligible to Captain Acton and Lucy.,"Did ye iver hear av Harry O'Dule goin' back on a promise?" said the old man, reproachfully.
