Sand Sharkers, sullen and defiant, holding themselves apart, came in one big group.,"Around the world!" exclaimed Miss Acton, looking about her with an expression of awe in her face. "It is a long way from Old Harbour Town to London. But around the world! I believe I should be proud had I been around the world. How few who are not sailors can boast of it!","Well," asked the old woman, "for whom are you mourning?","It isn't stuffy," defended Judith with a flash.
