"I hope Miss Acton thinks well of it," said Mr Lawrence. "I was trying this moment to tempt her to take a voyage to the West Indies by a poor description of some of the wonders which are to be met in the trip." She placed a cold little hand in the eager one which Hinter extended to her and her fleeting glance left him to fasten on the sick man in the arm chair. "Oh, I'm so glad you came, Billy," she said. "You can help me decorate uncle's grave.".

"What cheer! How are ye, Captain, how are ye this fine morning? Have you heard the news?" "Yes, Mary?" he responded gently. "Is our dinner up, Ma?" Billy asked, as he pushed back his chair.
