They are easy-going people, and will suit you."，"Good as ever, Billy, dried out—and gone. Come into the house. I've got great news."，"Did Etwald notice it?" asked Jen, thoughtfully.，There lay the steamer already. They rowed their best, but saw that a big boat carrying passengers ashore had already started. Pshaw! Too bad they had come so late!
