They stood together, both but half conscious of what was going on round them: Chatty, sweetly wrapped in a maze of soft-coming fancies of wonder and pleasure and awe and regret; while he, touched to the heart by her presence, yet only half conscious of it, went through the whole in a kind of trance, mingling the words spoken with interlinings of unspeakable dumb reasonings, self-assurances, self-exhortations.
"You must remember, Chatty, I was not born to it, like you. What are you doing? Are you building? Your letters are not very explicit, my dear." "You shall see. I cannot describe.

In a few minutes the door was again opened, and Pedro came in with a chatty of water. "He has disappeared like magic, signors, and is no where to be found. We have searched everywhere, but in vain." "Who? the little old seaman?" "Yes, he whom you kicked as you were led to prison. The people all say, that it must have been a ghost.
For the sisters, however, I could make no excuse. They secluded themselves in their staterooms during the greater part of the passage, and absolutely refused, although I repeatedly urged them, to hold communication with any person on board.
