I'm no lady's man I'm a simple sailor and I'm blessed if I can fathom it!" Mrs. Goring was silent for several minutes, gazing into his face with deepest sympathy.

There was something behind this attitude which I could not fathom. Suddenly she fetched a deep sigh. “Our Rita, too, will end by coming to her sister.” The name for which I had been waiting deprived me of speech for the moment.
