I do, indeed, think better of you, Pathfinder, than of most others: I am not certain that I do not think better of you than of any other; for your truth, honesty, simplicity, justice, and courage are scarcely equalled by any of earth." "Ah, Mabel, these are sweet and encouraging words from you! and the Sergeant, after all, was not so near wrong as I feared."
"You have had the pleasure of hearing her say that she loved you, Pathfinder?" "Why, no, Jasper, not just that in words. She has told me that we never could, never ought to be married; that she was not good enough for me, though she did say that she honored me and respected me.
But, islands or no islands, what is the object of the cruise, Master Pathfinder?" "There can be no harm in giving you some idea of what we are going to do.
