The Chief Protector has a similar pair of combination shoes a gift from "Jimmy" and is given to smiling; but he does not pretend to compete with his cook in that quality.

I'd half killed his best prize-winner, he says, and had oughter be shot, and he gives the Master his notice. But Miss Dorothy she follows him, and says it was his Red Elfberg what began the fight, and that I'd saved Jimmy's life, and that old Jimmy Jocks was worth more to her than all the St. Bernards in the Swiss mountains wherever they may be. And that I was her champion, anyway.
"You others get into the dory with Skookie," called out Rob, even as the strong sweep of Jimmy's paddle swept them free of the shingle.

Then it was the turn of Jimmy's lady. The big man stopped in the boat, and Christie's lover, knowing there was no time to lose, bustled into the parlour of the 'Passage House, and asked Mrs. Fox for the girl. Whereupon Polly told him to be off, or she'd call her husband to him. "Give her up, or take the consequences," said Ted, and counting Jimmy would be back every moment, the woman defied him.
Then Dannie, relying on the strength of his line thought he could land the fish, and steadily drew it toward him. Jimmy's reel began to sing louder, and his line followed Dannie's.
