An' of course he was no match for her,—father bein' only a bricklayer when he began life,—but still I will say Dan was a fine man, an' one to think about; an' no two ways in him, an' that soft about the heart.

Suddenly he heard a different sound and turned swiftly to look. There was a boat right off there.
