If I'm not mistaken, an action for defamation of character would lie against half-a-dozen of them. Mutimer was unfortunately deficient in sense of humour. He continued to scowl, and merely said: 'Go on; what happened? Mr. Keene allowed the evening's proceedings to lose nothing in his narration.
"Harry, I see clearly that something has gone wrong, and perhaps I can make a guess at the mode too: but however, you can do nothing about it now; come and dine with me to-day, and we'll discuss the affair together after dinner; or if you prefer a 'distraction, as we used to say in Dunkerque, why then I'll arrange something fashionable for your evening's amusement.
Not less pleasant was it to observe the lively interest, with which the natives regarded the captain when they learned who he was. At this point in the evening's proceedings, a gentleman in civilian costume came up to Sam Shipton, and asked him if he were acquainted with Mr Davis one of the petty officers of the Great Eastern. "I know him slightly," said Sam.
"Meg, this has been a cheerful business. A bright evening's work that was on Chelsea Embankment." Margaret shook her head and returned to Mr. Bast. "I don't understand. You left the Porphyrion because we suggested it was a bad concern, didn't you?" "That's right." "And went into a bank instead?"
Lapierre promised to look in again in an hour or two, and passed on to his own place, where he regaled the little company he found there with the narrative of his evening's exploits.

Tears were even coming into my eyes when Tom suddenly came over the fence and picked me and the heart up together and put us into an adventure of the first water. "Molly," he said in the most nonchalant manner imaginable, "we've got a jolly, strolling, German band up at the hotel; and we're going to have an evening's gaiety. Get into a pretty dress, and don't keep me waiting." "Tom!" I gasped.
He was somewhat reassured at breakfast to find no traces of the evening's storm; indeed, the moral atmosphere seemed rather clearer and purer than common. His own face was the only one which had an unusual shade upon it.
He only found one little opportunity of speaking again with Laura before the evening's festivities ended, and then, for the first time in years, his airy self-complacency failed him, his tongue's easy confidence forsook it in a great measure, and he was conscious of an unheroic timidity.
He at length consented to do so, and evolved the machine in question during his evening's leisure for the most part while quietly sipping his tea. The machine was produced, the contractors were enabled to proceed with the punching of the plates independent of the refractory men, and the work was executed with a despatch, accuracy, and excellence that would not otherwise have been possible.
