On one occasion they took it into their heads to go to France, believing that they could make money—he by painting, she by writing.
"It must be pretty near breakfast-time. Where is it?"

"It's a pretty decent-looking house too," said Ford. "Come on: let's go over, and let her know we've arrived in port."
