But then she scarcely waited for the irate chauffeur to slam the door upon them before she pleaded: "Dear Mrs. Carew, please, please say that it was Jamie!
The men that had quitted the platform were down by the shore before this; and a dozen had pushed their boat off and sat in her, some pulling, others backing, and all jabbering and disputing whether to return and take off the five or six that stood in a huddle by the water's edge and were crying out not to be left behind.
