I want to travel about and see them." "There is something in that, certainly," says Captain Rodney, with feeling. "I wonder, now, what great and charitable deed I could do." It is an old song she chooses, and simple as old, and sweet as simple. I almost forget the words now, but I know it runs in this wise:.
