Captain Acton desired to see the skipper alone, out of delicacy to Sir William, of whose son it would be impossible to speak without causing the poor old gentleman distress more or less acute. The Admiral found out Captain Acton's well-bred and considerate wish in the one or two hints he dropped, but stuck manfully to his chair nevertheless, and when Captain Weaver was announced, he still remained one of the three occupants of the room.,"I forgot," she said. "I never can remember that you're both the same age. You are always saying that he is so young, Miss Pat.","Only half an hour," replied Lady Meg, in a low, grave voice.
