Are you all ready?" "Yes." "Then we'll start for the depot right after breakfast."

"There was no waving of handkerchiefs and no shouting good-byes when the black-and-tan craft was ready to leave. The skipper was on the bridge. He looked down at an officer ashore, nodded his head, and the other returned the nod.
Isn't she an angel!" The whole party sprang to their feet, and ran down to the lower floor. "Oh, we were so frightened!" "Don't let them see you."
