"Father, this is The Rat," the boy began. The Rat stopped short and rested on his crutches, staring at the tall, reposeful figure with widened eyes. "Is that your father?" he said to Marco.

I said that I did not love her brother but that I had no scruples whatever in marrying him." She paused, hesitating, then with a shy half-laugh: "I really believed I was selling myself, Mr Marlow.

Powell, slipping the Articles into a long envelope, spoke up with a sort of cold half-laugh without looking at either of us. "Mind you don't disgrace the name, Charles." "And the skipper chimes in very kindly: "He'll do well enough I dare say. I'll look after him a bit."
