They drew short, but afterwards deeper, breaths, like bathers entering chill water, separated one from the other, moved about the hall, tiptoed upstairs, raced down, and then Miss M'Leod, and I believe her mother, though she denies this, embraced me. I know M'Leod did. It was a disgraceful evening. To say we rioted through the house is to put it mildly.
Softly he worked with a wrench and screw-driver for some time, and then with an exclamation of: "That will fix you," he had softly tiptoed out of the tent carrying the detached main guiding lever of the ship.
