"I reckon they'll be quite astonished when they meet with their old friend Sinbad the Sailor.",David looked at Jen in astonishment.,Captain Acton started, and stared hard at Mr Adams.,"I have met with several. To which did he refer?"，On which Miss Acton screamed out: "What did I say? Are not my words true? To think of our beloved Lucy imprisoned in a ship! Sailed away with, never to be seen more perhaps, in the hands of—of—oh, what is to be done? What is to be done?"，"Well, I'd rather take a chance with a bear than a ghost, wouldn't you Bill?"，"How can I go," he says, without daring to look at her, "until, at least, I ask for forgiveness?" He feels more nervous, more crushed in the presence of this little wounded Irish girl with her pride and her grief, than he has ever felt in the presence of an offended fashionable beauty full of airs and caprices. "Mona, love makes one cruel: I ask you to remember that, because it is my only excuse," he says, warmly. "Don't condemn me altogether; but forgive me once more."Oh! there it hung by the boiler closet. But what a forlorn, miserable thing! He had not remembered that it was so worn out.
