And for the rest of the voyage they could hardly be pried apart, so infatuated did they become with discussing their plans. Long John was not a home-body. But he was tired of the forecastle. No boarding-house sharks in his. He, too, would get a room in a quiet family, and he would go to a navigation school and study to be a captain. And so it went.
How many kind words he lavished upon me! how many a good and kindly piece of advice he murmured in my ear at that farewell moment! Ah! I do not think John wished to go thither; he was ever a home-body; and I am sure his wife disliked it much. But they saw it was my desire, they seemed to regard me as the builder-up of their fortunes, and they yielded without a murmur. Bête that I was!

Porter was a home-body, too, caring nothing at all for society at best there was but little of it in Brookfield except where it was connected with church work.
