"Oh, stop him somebody," groan'd Prince Rupert: "my head is whirling." "With your leave," I explain'd, pouring out another glassful: "tis the simplest matter, and one that a child could understand.
He poured out a glassful and drank, and the thought came apart from his listening to Framtree if only other agonies could be eased with the swift directness of his thirst-torture that moment. "I wanted you to go back on the Hatteras, Mr. Framtree," he said. "The Henlopen won't sail for a week. We won't lose sight of each other, so there is time. As for our talk, we must be alone."
