Jack is married, and has a partner living at this very moment, as he does not scruple to avow himself." A hissing noise, a bright light, and a slight explosion, interrupted the half-laughing girl, and Mulford, turning on his heel, quick as thought, saw that a rocket had shot into the air, from a point close under the bows of the brig.

And grasping my hand he wrung it till I thought he would have wrung it off, while, half-laughing, half-crying for pleasure, he asked, "How's father and mother, and Susan and Jane, and Mary and Dick, and the rest of them; and little Tommy?"

"Help me, my pet," said Madame d'Argy, "help me to find a wife for him: all we ask is that she should be like you." In answer to which Fred declared, half-laughing and half-seriously, that that was his ideal.
