"This[Pg 113] should prove a very good offer—very good terms. What will this ship carry?","By Jove, you know, it is odd," says Geoffrey, presently, speaking as one might who has for long been following out a train of thought by no means unpleasant, "his sending for her, and that: there must be something in it.
