This was the key to his mysterious sickness; and while his companions congratulated themselves upon Cyd's expected recovery, it was deemed prudent to place all the intoxicating beverages on board in a secure place. A locker in Lily's cabin was selected for this purpose, and it was soon out of Cyd's reach.
"You make me forget myself." He went to the locker, in which he rummaged till he produced a big copper kettle. "Here's the hot water can," he said. "Nip with it to the galley, before the cook puts his fire out. On deck, boy. Don't you know where the galley is?" I did not know where the galley was in this particular ship.
"Sir," said Joe, taking a set of gloves from a locker, "if you are ready to box a round or so " "Why, no," answered Ravenslee, "I don't want to box to-day, Joe." "Eh?" said Joe, staring, "not?" "I want to fight, Joe." "To fight, sir?" repeated Joe. "Fight?" cried the Old Un rapturously. "Oh, music sweet music t' me old ears! Fight? Oh, j'yful words! What's the old song say?
If he keeps on the literary lay, and reads books with her, looking up the words in the dictionary, it is dangerous."

'I hope you are not going to confiscate that, Miss Pew, as you have confiscated my sketches. 'It would be no more than you deserve if I were to burn everything in your locker, Miss Palliser, said the schoolmistress. 'Burn everything except my brother's portrait. I might never get another.
