The rough youth's mental state was pitiable.
Becky had been brought up to be very doubtful about dancing, which was a great pity, for she was apt to be stiff and awkward when she walked or tried to move about in the room.

We want you in the captain's room he and I. Come just as you are." "Aye, aye!" grunted the old man, instantly out of his berth. The light was turned low in the saloon.
