"Early enough for us to start, if if the answer's yes?" "As soon as I wake up. Will that do?" "That will do. And let it depend on your dreams. I'll trust my luck to them. Because dreams are in the country of make-believe; sometimes they are good so good they make you want to go on and on. Besides, there'll be the Morehouse letter. I bank on that.

"Mr. Mate, where's your skipper?" he inquired, with an air of consequence that put an extra pucker on his little twisting mouth.
