But I kept that delicious rose-embroidered treasure all to myself. I wanted him to meet it entirely unprepared.

"The butcher does not charge at your rate, Mr Greyquill," said Mr Lawrence with a faint smile. "Maurice's sick," he shouted in the deaf woman's ear. "Secret instructions to be read to the officers and crew of the above said Minorca by Mr Lawrence whenever the ship shall have arrived at twenty degrees of north latitude, and about thirty degrees of west longitude."
