All were talking earnestly when old Captain Smith and Jan pushed between them. "Maybe Jan can take the rope to shore," said the poundmaster, while his hand rested on Jan's wet fur.
The first part of the road, all the way to Doveness, was so wretched it could hardly be called a road, and of course Eric had to drive very carefully, since he had the unchristened child to convey. Jan had himself brought the child from the house and turned it over to the godmother, and had seen them set out. No one knew better than he into what good hands it was being intrusted.

Our readers will search in vain around the camp-fire for little Jan and Klaas.
