Johnny Blossom held out to her the fancy paper basket filled with peppermint drops.,"Well, he is a respectable though a very illiterate man, and I had half made up my mind to offer him the berth. But I am affected by your trouble. I should be glad to be of service to your son. Whilst we have talked I have been thinking, and if he is prepared to accept the position I am quite willing that he should take the Minorca out and home from the West Indies this voyage on the terms I am in the habit of giving—twelve pounds a month and a commission on the earnings of the voyage.","No, no; I think not. Come here, Geoffrey; do. It is the queerest thing,—like a riddle. See!","The great master," repeated Jen; "you mean Dr. Etwald?",“Yes, there goes a steamer to the east, and a beautiful boat lies right near here, and far out there is sail after sail.”，"Not so much so that I cannot help you to cross over in safety, if you will only trust yourself to me," replies he.，"One moment, Miss Dallas.

In short, the man's mind was much too small to retain what had been poured into it, and of course it overflowed. To whom other than Tom Pledge could he speak? Pledge and he had sailed in Captain Acton's employ for two or three voyages; they were friends, and visited each other ashore where each had a little cottage and a wife.
