Job Howland was a gunner on the port side and the boy naturally lent his services to the one man aboard that he could call his friend. There was much bustle in the alley behind the closed ports but surprisingly little confusion was apparent. The discipline seemed better than at any time since the boy had been brought aboard the black sloop.
"We are certainly we are that is, if you will allow us to bring" "To bring" interrupted Cicely. "Oh Molly, do speak!" "Well, I will; only, don't jump, you two girls. To bring Maggie Howland!" Cicely's face grew very pink. Merry, on the contrary, turned a little pale. They were both silent for a brief space. Then Merry said excitedly, "Maggie Howland the Maggie Howland?"
On a small tablet which Howland had not before observed she wrote her order. It was for tea. He noticed that she gave the waiter a dollar bill in payment and that the Chinaman returned seventy-five cents to her in change. "Discrimination," he chuckled to himself. "Proof that she's not a stranger here, and knows the price of things."

And it would be such a god-send to the poor man to have some one to advise him about his work. I'm going to make a desperate effort to get Howland here next Sunday."

"Don't you like tennis, Miss Miss Howland?" said Merry.
