Sixteen years ago I twentytwo tumbled. Twentytwo years ago he sixteen fell off his hobbyhorse. Must see a dentist. Money? They giggle. FLORRY: What?
"But where is Florry, father?" asked Christy, looking about the deck. "I could not allow her to be on deck when a shot was liable to come on board. She is in the cabin, and she will be as glad to see you as I have been," replied Captain Passford. Christy hastened to the cabin.

I got a squint at you. Am I mistaken in assuming that you were wearing a dress suit?" "No, sir." "Whadja mean by wasting your savings on a dress suit?" Cappy exploded.
"I am sorry you are going, though I congratulate you on the prospect now before you of returning to your friends," said Captain Passford, after the conversation had continued for half an hour.

And Albert and Juliet and Florry and Neddy and and all the others." "Yes, poor things! they live in London." "And they don't like hot days in London?" "Hot days must be better than cold ones.

Oh, then, father, 'tis not in the chist, 'pon my word and honour now, if you'll b'lieve: so don't be rummaging of all my things. Christy. It don't signify, Florry; I've granted myself a gineral sarch-warrant; dear, for the kay; and, by the blessing, I'll go clane to the bottom o' this chist. What, in the name of the ould one, is it you're afeard on?
Oh, how fervently I can thank him for his proffered home! yet, separated from you, dear Florry, I could not be happy; my heart would ache for you, and your warm, trusting love. I fear neither poverty nor hardships. Oh, let me go with you, and cheer and assist my dear uncle!" "You shall go with us, my pure-hearted cousin.

And then that man said: "By Jove: Florry Hurlbird." He turned upon me with an oily and uneasy sound meant for a laugh. He was really going to ingratiate himself with me. "Do you know who that is?" he asked.
When the repast was over, Florry invited her brother to look at the flower-garden, which was in the height of its glory, and she was followed by Gerty her cousin, and by Mrs. Passford. As in the Northern family, there were only two children; but Cornelius, or Corny as he was generally called, was not at home, though nothing at all was said about him.
