"'Course we both know this danged thing is pisin," he said, uncertainly. "Maybe we're fools, Bill?"，"I have not met with the usage," old Greyquill went on calmly, steadily exasperating Miss Acton by a preface that was disgusting and needless whilst she thirsted for the one essential fact, "that I certainly think I deserve from either Admiral Sir William Lawrence, nor his son, Mr Lawrence."
