The old doctor sighed dolefully. "Well, my glasses are gone," he murmured. "And how I will ever do without 'em, I don't know." Then, becoming suddenly aware of his ridiculous position, he stepped ponderously down from the table to his chair. The Admiral looked deaf, and continued to stare at the door, which in a few moments was again flung open, and Mr Greyquill entered. "'Tis a pity he cannot command his appetites," said Miss Acton. "How would my heart bleed if he were my son!

Mr Eagle, whose views were undoubtedly in accord with Mr Pledge's, viewed his companion in acid silence. "What a very little room!" said Lucy, peering in through the door Mr Lawrence held open. "How fearful to be locked up in such a box when the ship is sinking." "I mean Captain Acton's daughter." "You're a pair of plotters," cried Erie, "and being a weak, helpless girl I suppose I'll have to agree with you and submissively roast those birds to suit your taste.".
