"'What! says the captain, have I come all the way up Channel without knowing it? I've been on the look-out for Cape Clear ever since daybreak, and here, by ginger, I've overrun my reckoning three hundred miles." "Well," said old Roberts, "one of my captains, Brandegee, you know, who had the 'China, got caught, one November, just as he was coming on the coast, in a gale from the eastward.
So it came to be "the great room," and no more; and a great thing it was for Dick Lee to find himself sitting on one of the front seats of it, with his friends all in line at his right, waiting their turn with him to be "classified," and sent about their business. Dr. Brandegee made wonderfully rapid work of it; and his several assistants seemed to know exactly what to do.
That's what we've done with 'em." "Brains? What" "Exactly. Next to us three, the men that work their brains the hardest around here are Mr. Fallow and my friend Dr. Brandegee." "And you never asked me a word about it!" "About what?" inquired Dabney. "I must say I don't quite understand. Do you mean, about what we were to do with our fish?" "Of course I do. I can't allow"
"Richard," said Ford, "are you going?" "Habn't heerd a word about dat." "Don't you go back on your friends, Richard. Be all ready in time, sure's you live, and go with us, or I'll complain to Dr. Brandegee." Dick's grin was a wide one; but he responded, "I'll be ready. See 'f I ain't."

No, indeed, it was not, and they failed to make it out to their satisfaction; but it might have helped them if they had seen him hand the fish to "Mary," and say, "There, what do you think of that? The very boys I told you of." "The ones you saw on the green, fighting?" "Exactly. I must see Dr. Brandegee. They can't be altogether bad." "Bad? No! There must be something about it.
The doctor always knows. He will be able to explain it, I know." Great was the confidence of the Grantley people in Dr. Brandegee, as to any and all things relating to "his boys;" and that of Mrs. Fallow was none the less when her husband returned from his evening call. "Defending that colored boy? You don't say. The dear, brave little fellows! Fighting is dreadful. Did any of them get hurt?"
