You are to have another wife.","In that case go down to the kitchen and tell my servants from me that you are to stay there. Later on I'll see you.",They went up in the little box of an elevator, and as they got out, Bruce jingled his keys invitingly.,“He’s been back twice,” said Bob, “and I don’t know what to make of it.”，"Well, I'm jiggered!" said Mr Pledge, now looking slightly startled, for he was an old[Pg 272] sailor, he well understood the despotic powers of the captain of a ship, and he readily perceived that Mr Lawrence's threats in case of refusal by the crew were to be carried out.，"Assuredly," replied Etwald, fixing a piercing glance on the young man.
