Now, go forward!" said Mr Lawrence, and he moved as though about to turn on his heel.,It had been arranged between Captain Acton and Admiral Lawrence that the latter should breakfast at half-past nine with Captain[Pg 163] Acton, who would then fill an hour with transaction of certain business which he could deal with in his own house, leaving the Admiral to amuse himself in the grounds with his pipe, and, if he chose, a telescope; after which they would walk leisurely down to Old Harbour, go on board the Minorca, and take a farewell view of the vessel with a God-speed to her new commander.,"He's down to the far medder, watchin' the gap, Maurice. Don't you go near him.","What's this going to be?" exclaimed the Admiral to Captain Weaver.，"No, sir. When am I to leave this ship?"，"Well, you might as well have both bowls then. I don't like to see good bread an' milk wasted."，He would lapse into silence, sucking his pipe, and watching Erie putting away the supper-dishes."Ha!" exclaimed Captain Acton, looking fondly at his child, "I don't doubt it is in you.
