And now Jack was seated between the two old people, who scarcely would allow him to ask any questions, so eager were they to hear his adventures. It was some time, therefore, before he could learn what had become of the rest of the family. "And how is sister Polly and her husband, Tom Dovedale? It seems an age since the day they were spliced."
Dovedale in that clever impossible 'Floreston, or an equally unnatural and charming Sir Charles Grandison, with a dash of scenery and a sprinkle of anecdote, would make up, far better than I could fabricate, the fair fine character that once I thought to sketch.
With Lily and the baby dead, and Deborah Pennycuick given to another man, Australia had no more hold on him. His first letter to Redford notified that he had changed into another line, and that the name of his new ship was the DOVEDALE. She traded to the West Indies.

He told me of his narrow escape was really going with her on her last voyage, and only prevented at the last moment by the offer of this captaincy from his former owners. It's the same man.
