The "trunk," which was elevated about fifteen inches above the deck, afforded a height of about five feet beneath. The berths, which extended beneath the main deck, answered for beds by night, and sofas by day. The standing room, or open space abaft the cabin, was eight feet long, with cushioned seats on three sides.

Before she could be properly established on the cushioned seats, the batteau was alongside, and Ormiston turned a very white and excited face toward the Earl of Rochester. "I know that lady, my lord! She is a friend of mine, and you must give her to me!" "Is it you, Ormiston? Why what brings you here alone on the river, at this hour?"

How wonderful it would be if poor dear, darling mama could look down and see everything and really know what happiness had been vouchsafed to her unworthy child! Having a vivid recollection of the journey made with Mr. Palford, Tembarom felt that his whole world had changed for him.
