It will be such fun to see how we each get along.","I aim to call her Lou," he said hesitatingly. "That is if you don't mind."，"But Jaggard?" asked David, rising stiffly from his chair.，The cabin was empty. Mr Pledge was again superintending work forward. Mr Eagle kept the look-out.

The vessel swayed on the heave of the swell with the ponderosity,[Pg 288] you would have looked for in one of her mould. She creaked in every timber. She pitched rapidly, albeit the blue afternoon hollow was very shallow, but the sullenness of the sturdy round bows was in her longwise motion.
