He was lingering on board until the hour when the ordinary at "The Swan" was served, and whilst he stood looking over the rail near the gangway, so profoundly self-abstracted that his eyes, turning idly, seemed without speculation, Mr Eagle came across the planks. He limped a little, and the expression of his face was uncommonly acid with pain and the nature of the man. "So far nothing's hove into sight, sir," said Mr Eagle.

"But my friends are their friends, you see. There is only one other person besides yourself and myself who can do what you are doing now, though.".
