And all vessels have some port or other for their destination, and it is only there that we can hope to find this man. What do you think, Hochstedt?" "Your reasoning seems to be just, although not altogether indisputable," answered the professor, with his customary prudence. "Admit that it is right," continued Mr. Bredejord.
This good woman had conceived a great affection for this new member of the household. Erik was so gentle, and naturally so courteous and obliging, so studious and so brave, that it was impossible to know him and not to like him.
