"I'll tell you what they ought to do next, Whalley," growled Captain Eliott suddenly. "Well?" "They ought to send a real live lord out here when Sir Frederick's time is up. Eh?"

Nothing can stop it now.
The Mission Board appointed two young physicians to accompany Doctor Grenfell, Doctor Arthur O. Bobardt and Doctor Eliott Curwen, and two trained nurses, Miss Cecilia Williams and Miss Ada Cawardine, that there might be a doctor and a nurse for the hospital at Battle Harbor and a doctor and a nurse for the hospital at Indian Harbor.
Eliott and her circle in the scheme of his salvation.

Captain Eliott waddled up to it and made as if to clamber in, but refrained; and keeping one hand resting easily on the shaft, he changed the conversation from his pension, his daughters, and his poverty back again to the only other topic in the world the Marine Office, the men and the ships of the port.

When Friday came, Anne remarked at breakfast that she was going to dine with Mrs. Eliott. "I thought you would," said Majendie. She had hoped that he would think she wouldn't.
