I am pleased with the idea of a Naval officer being in charge of my ship."，"Oh, Geoffrey, wasn't it well you went to Ireland and met Mona? Because if you had stayed on here last autumn we might have been induced to marry each other, and then what would have become of poor Jack?"，"Tom said he'd think it over an' let him know.

But for the poor child's tender earnestness and good faith, he could almost have felt some faint amusement; but this offering of hers is to him a sacred thing, and to treat her words as a jest is a thought far from him. Indeed, to give wilful offence to any one, by either word or action, would be very foreign to his nature.

“Oh, that? Well, that’s—that’s nothing.”,He smote his thigh hard with the palm of his hand. The noise was like the report[Pg 221] of a pistol.
