Be very careful whom you select at any time as adviser. And remember that, for any advice that you may properly ask of me, you may come to me without hesitation." "Thank you, sir. I trust you realize how deeply grateful I am to you," Dave protested earnestly. As other officers came up, Commander Bainbridge cut the discussion short by turning to greet the arrivals.
Spence's grey eyes looked at her with a curious light in their depths. "Wait," he said. "You haven't found your corner yet. When you do, the rest won't matter." "But people do not want me. I had a horrid dream last night. I was wandering all through Bainbridge and all the doors were open so that I might go in anywhere. I was glad at first. But I soon saw that my freedom did not mean anything.
I have many times observed that even our comparatively degenerate domestic cat very rarely indeed, if ever, fails to accomplish the purpose of a stroke. Peters possesses, or did possess, that instinct." "Yes," said Bainbridge, "you are right.
Bainbridge had behaved heroically at Tripoli and was logically in line to take over one of the crack frigates. The sailors of the Constitution grumbled a bit at losing Isaac Hull but soon regained their alert and willing spirit as they comprehended that they had another first-rate "old man" in William Bainbridge.
Two days later, at the same spot, I came upon Doctor Castleton in conversation with the harmless-looking young man, to whom the doctor formally presented me.

We laughed over this conceit of Castleton's, and Bainbridge said: "Speaking of biblical characters, I have thought that Moses would, with even slight literary training, have far surpassed the modern writer of adventure-fiction. His style may be open to adverse criticism, but his originality is beyond question. If he left any material for a purely original story, I fail to detect it.
"I refer to the flattened trajectory and the obus controversy." "We have not heard the reports," answered the commandant, with becoming gravity. "But we own a mountain howitzer." "The modernity of German ordnance " began Augustus. "Do you dance, Mr. Albumblatt?" asked Mrs. Starr. "For we'll have a hop and all be your partners," Mrs. Bainbridge exclaimed.
Here Doctor Bainbridge paused for a moment in his narration, lighted a cigar, took a whiff or two, and then continued: "You must pardon me for entering so fully into the affairs of Medosus and his fellow-exiles. It was only by tact and patience that, little by little, I gathered from Peters the facts.
