"I believe Captain Weaver is to take charge of the barque, and Captain Acton will himself sail the schooner home.","No. No!" came in chorus.,Without further speech Mr Lawrence passed into his cabin.,"You, Anse!" came Mrs. Wilson's voice. "Have I gotta limber you up with the strap, after all?","But he did a braver thing than that," cried Cobin. "He giv' up the girl who was to marry him, 'cause, he said, his days from now on must be useless ones, an' he wouldn't bind the woman he loved to his bleakness an' blackness.

The Captain's excellent if fastidious appetite was gone, and his eyes often wandered to his daughter's vacant place. Brother and sister had but one subject in their minds; they talked but little, however, for servants were present.，"Yes, Ma'am; ain't you agoin', Ma?"，Billy watched the old man move down the path, the wild strains of the Irish tune he was playing falling on his ears long after the player had been swallowed up in the golden haze.

"Give me a sea as smooth as our lawn, and I will accompany you, my dear.","No, Sir William; something like a scuffle followed, and Mr Pledge, who, I believe, was the boatswain, acting as an officer on board, holding some irons in his hand, seized one of the men, but I thought in a very gentle, friendly way, and carried him below.",* * * * *,"Where is the Aurora going?" enquired Lucy.,Maurice peered out from behind a tree. "Well, I'll be jiggered!" he exclaimed. "It's our old sow. She's been lost fer nigh onto two weeks, an' Dad's been huntin' fer her everywhere.","There you go, ag'in," cried Billy. "How many times have I gotta tell you, Maurice, that Trigger Finger Tim never used writin'. He used symbols—that's what he used. Do you know what a symbol is, you poor blockhead?".
