The skipping-rope faltered in its sweep, caught in the skipper's legs, and sent him staggering across the room. Ogden threw back his head and laughed merrily. He liked free entertainments, and this struck him as a particularly enjoyable one.
He imagined himself one of the crew of the Celestine, hoisting the foresail in a South American port. "I'd love to roll to Rio Some day before I'm old..." The sail rose steadily to the unsung chorus. Ken was quite happy.
