Pretty risky—to ride him the way you have these last days.”，“Sure,” the other sputtered. “Just keep drifting and we’ll land on that point down there. I’ll stand by to help beach the boat when you get there.”，"But surely until then Mona may lay claim to the title," says Violet, quickly.，Billy hesitated a minute. The dim room, the wicked-looking red lights, Bess so stern and mysterious,—this might frighten the little girl. He ought to wait."Yes, ever so much. He's almost his old self again.
