Mr Lawrence viewed his father with astonishment, Miss Lucy with a smile whose beauty was radiant with applause, Miss Acton with an expression of awe, whilst Captain Acton burst out: "Upon my word, Admiral, forgive me for saying so, but I never could have believed such thinking so expressed was in your line of mind. I believe St Vincent would be very pleased did he possess your powers of delivery." "I saw her," said Mr Lawrence. "She is on her hands and knees. What did you say?" "Harry O'Dule," she gasped, as he swung the gate wide, "is it re'lly you?".
