Are you fond of children?” “I don’t know anything about them, Lady Cochrane; I have never had any little brothers and sisters. Of course some of my school-fellows had them, and it always seemed to me that they were jolly little things when they were in a good temper.” “But not at other times, Mr. Embleton?”
He was 'between two ages, a very susceptible period in the history of the individual. 'I think we have met before, said the Earl to Logan. 'Your face is not unfamiliar to me. 'Yes, said Logan, 'I have seen you at several places; and he mumbled a number of names. 'Ah, I remember now at Lady Lochmaben's, said Lord Embleton. 'You are, I think, a relation of hers. . . .
As they had had notice of the owner’s intention to come down, the officers were all in their new uniforms, and after Captain Pinder had shown his guests round the ship, they sat down together to dinner in the cabin. “You have plenty of freeboard, I see,” Mr. Embleton said, as, after returning on deck, he looked over the side. “Yes, I never will load down my ships,” Mr.
