"That was Vose Adams," remarked the captain over his shoulder; "he'll tell the rest what he saw and it will be known to everybody in the morning."
But meanwhile I don't think any lady's name should be dragged into conversation and bandied about like that, by an absolute stranger." "Oh, now you needn't be huffy," Nevitt answered, with a still sweeter smile, showing all those pearly teeth of his to the greatest advantage.
