"My love," said Captain Acton, "will you tell me how it happened that you should have allowed yourself to be lured on board the Minorca?" 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.
