"'Whatever were you doing with that bird, Jem? says she. "'Well, said I, 'you said you'd give me one for Christmas, and I was feeling which was the fattest. "'Oh, says she, 'we've set yours aside for you Jem's bird, we call it. It's the big white one over yonder. There's twenty-six of them, which makes one for you, and one for us, and two dozen for the market.
"Yes?" said Brace, for the mate stopped. "Well, sir, I goes to the side of his berth, holds out my right hand nay, I won't swear it was my right hand, because it might have been my left; but whichever it was, it stood out quite stiff, and me with it, for there was no Jem Lynton there: only the blanket pulled out like, and half of it on the floor." "One moment," said Sir Humphrey.
How did you get your things out, Jem Bishop?" Jem, the only one of them whose house was in the havoc, regarded with a sailor's calmness the entry of the sea through his bedroom window, and was going to favor us with a narrative, when one of his mates exclaimed, "What do I see yonner, lads? Away beyond town altogether. Seemeth to me like a fellow swimming. Miss, will you lend me spy-glass?

So Mary felt hopeless of obtaining any intelligence of the sailor's arrangements from her. Then, should she apply to Jem himself? No! she knew him too well. She felt how thoroughly he must ere now have had it in his power to exculpate himself at another's expense. And his tacit refusal so to do, had assured her of what she had never doubted, that the murderer was safe from any impeachment of his.
"No, sir, I harn't seen it. Let's see, I don't think I've been here only when I locked up." "By some mischance I left my desk unlocked when I went out in a hurry yesterday. Lindon here has found one piece on the floor." "P'r'aps tothers is there, too," said Jem eagerly. "No; we have looked. Call your wife. Perhaps she may have found them when sweeping."

She had her way, and wrote, 'From her grateful C. F. D. and J. R. F. D.; and as James took the little packet, he thanked her with an affectionate kiss a thing so unprecedented at an irregular hour, that Clara's heart leapt up, and she felt rewarded for any semblance of sacrifice.
George had picked up some of the native language, and he explained to the other that Jacky was singing about some great battle, near the Wurra-Gurra River. "The Wurra-Gurra! why, that is where we first found gold." "Why of course it is! and yes! I thought so." "Thought what?" "It is our battle he is describing." "Which of 'em? we live in hot water."
