"Well, what is it, then? Who sent you? Come now, out with it quick, or I'll take a tarred rope-end to you." Mr. Johnston pushed his chair back from the table. "Thank you exceedingly, Mr. Keeler. I have enjoyed your breakfast and your conversation very much indeed. Madam," he said, rising and turning to Mrs. Keeler, "permit me to extend to you my heartfelt gratitude for your share in the splendid hospitality that has been accorded me. I hope to see you again, some day." "In a camlet jacket. There was something of the sailor's rig in his costume.".
