Aleck's head was already out of the window, and he drew it back again to answer: "A lot of sailors, uncle, and their officer." The lad's words were followed by the appearance of Jane, whose eyes were wide open and staring, her mouth following suit to some extent, so that she had to close her lips before saying: "Plee, sir, orficer, sir.
