"It hasn't been just thinkin' about myself that's done it," began Ham, steadying his voice, though it still held a throb of fervor which neither his father nor mother had ever heard before.

"And we should both fall together. That would be some compensation. Not much. Going to smash with you would be something like going to church with Mr. Lyon. It might have a steadying effect." "What has come over you tonight, Carmen?" Henderson asked, leaning forward with an expression of half amusement, half curiosity. "I've been thinking doesn't that astonish you? about life.

"Come along, my lad, and have a nice hot cup of coffee and some toast. I hope you take sugar. There are two lumps in it already." Alix fairly ran from the room. They heard her racing up the stairs. "Will you have cream, my boy?" asked Mrs. Strong, steadying her voice with an effort. He had shuffled along behind her to the fireplace. "Yes'm," and then as an afterthought: "if you please, ma'am."

"What girl would you be willing for me to go with?" he asked in faint satire. "Heah in Niggertown?" Peter nodded. The movement increased his headache. "None a-tall. No Niggertown wench a-tall.
I struggled into a standing position on the spar that supported me, steadying myself upon my somewhat precarious perch by grasping the arms of the crosstrees, and carefully examined such fragments as came within my ken with the heave of the sea.
