"Oh, yes, you do; you wanted to show off," answered Grant.
But Captain Malu sent back from Sydney two cases of the best Scotch whiskey on the market, for he was not able to make up his mind as to whether it was Captain Hansen or Mr. Harriwell who had given Bertie Arkwright the more gorgeous insight into life in the Solomons. From "A Tarpaulin Muster," BY JOHN MASEFIELD The night had fallen over the harbour before the winch began to rattle.
That isn't what wins men is it?" "You and Josh Craig have a most uncomfortable way of answering people's thoughts," said Arkwright. "Now, how did you guess I was thinking mean things about you?"

The new industrial era began with the locomotive and steamship; James Watt invented the one and Stevenson the other. The new era of physical comfort began with the loom; a Frenchman named Jacquard and an Englishman named Arkwright made men warm for their work in winter.
"I have nothing to say," replied the expert. His gaze met that of Mr. Wynne for a moment, then settled on the venerable face of the old man. "Guilty?" interposed Mr. Wynne quickly. "Guilty of what?" Chief Arkwright, without speaking, waved his hand toward the body on the floor.
