It's worse than being in the whirled woods, the last day of the year! Who'd go climbing after chestnuts now? But there they go, all cursing, and here I don't. Fine prospects to 'em; they're on the road to heaven. Hold on hard! Jimmini, what a squall! But those chaps there are worse yet they are your white squalls, they. White squalls? white whale, shirr! shirr!

Here have I heard all their chat just now, and the white whale shirr! shirr! but spoken of once! and only this evening it makes me jingle all over like my tambourine that anaconda of an old man swore 'em in to hunt him!

Then the mask was brought out. This was a simple affair Cora only wanted such things as were practical. The mask, which had been specially designed to suit the girl, was nothing more than a piece of veiling, with the goggles set in. The veil was secured to the hood by a simple shirr string of elastic. Madam slipped it over Cora's face. "Zere!" the milliner exclaimed. "Lovely!" declared Bess.
