It took the dockyard people just another week to complete the proposed alterations, during which I visited the craft every morning, returning to my quarters at Mr Finnie's in time for their six o'clock dinner. On the day week after my first visit she was out of Fisher's hands, and as I left her late that afternoon I thought I had never seen a prettier little craft.
And thus, as he drove his gig back towards Guestwick, he composed a very pretty letter to the lady of his love. And as he went, at the corner of the lane which led from the main road up to Guestwick cottage, he again came upon John Eames, who was also returning to Guestwick.
"Well, tooth-brushes, soap, combs, courtplaster, handkerchiefs, buttons, thread, quinine, and pain-killer." "Is that all?" asked Jeff so quizzically that both ladies laughed. "You have forgotten," added Mrs. Mansley, "the shirts, underclothing, socks, and shoes." "They are here," replied Mrs. Palmer, stepping briskly into the next room and returning with her arms full.

Since his improvement Maurice insisted upon his leaving his chamber and getting out of the house, so as to breathe the fresh air of which he was in so much need.
