If I'd been explaining for a week he couldn't have picked things up any better than he did. "Maurice hi, Maurice! Oh, 'tis you, isn't it. Well, Maurice-boy, all the night I waited for a chance to have a word with you, but ne'er a chance could I get. Early in the evening when I was fit for ladies' company Miss Foster said how proud she was to know me me, who had saved her cousin Johnnie's life.
"Drive her, Maurice-boy, and whatever you do don't let the man that took your vessel from you beat you home," meaning Sam Hollis of course. Maurice waved his hand, but said nothing. He was looking serious enough, however. Tommie Clancy was the boy who wasn't worrying particularly. He saluted Peter as if he were going out on a holiday excursion. "Ain't she a dog, Peter? Watch her."
And Maurice, go below you and Dave and all hands of you, and we'll get out dry clothes for you. Man, but you must be cold and hungry, but the cook's getting coffee and grub ready. And for the Duncan's crew on deck all hands and put the tops'ls to her. For, Maurice-boy, we're going home going home, Maurice where there's people waiting for you. Hang on a while longer, Joe, and I'll take her myself."
If I'd gone 'twould have been no great loss, but you, Maurice, innocent as a child how could I? I'd known men and women, good and bad I'd lived life and I'd had my chance and thrown it away but at your age the things you had to learn! Maybe I didn't think it all out like that, but that was why I didn't take the plug strap. But, Maurice-boy, I never forgot it.
'Take the plug strap, you, Tommie, you says. We were dory-mates, of course, but, Maurice-boy, I'll never forget it." Clancy took off his hat and drew his hand across his forehead. "And where were you bound when we stopped you, Maurice?" "Oh, I don't know. To take a walk maybe." "Sure, and why not? Let's all take a walk. Let's take a walk down to the dock and have a look at the vessel. Too dark?
