The Loo is the last where the sugar-cane is growing. The greater part of its negroes have just been ordered to another estate, and ere a few months shall have elapsed all signs of cultivation will be lost in underwood.

Peregrine! you hero of rogues, Count Fathom! what a debt do we owe you! I know not whether it was the reading of these romances, or the want of some sentimental pastime, which led the doctor, about this period, to lay siege to the heart of the little Loo.

Ah! if another such as Napoleon could only arise such as he, but different. Not an adventurer, but a King and the descendant of Kings not allied, as Napoleon was, with a hundred other adventurers." "Yes," said Loo, in a muffled voice, looking away toward the fire. "A King whose wife should be a Queen," pursued the dreamer. "Yes," said Loo again, encouragingly.

I was sure you would be out at this hour." "In general I am, but I have had a most fortunate lazy fit to-day." "Why, Loo," said her sister, "I don't know how you always come to know everything. I should not know in the least when Dr. Brunton was likely to be in or out." "That's different," said Loo: "I'm intimate with the doctor."

Captain Clubbe came in, filling the whole cabin with his bulk, and on his heels followed Loo Barebone, his face and hair still wet and dripping.
Tee Wee and Loo are there, and everybody'll be delighted to have you. In the open air all day, sleep ten hours every night, eat your blessed head off. No mosquitoes.
