Ye're good Scotch, an'- I knew your mother's father, he was fra' Dumfries ye've a vested right in metapheesics, Miss Frazier, just as ye have in the Dimbula," the engineer said. "Eh, well, we must go down to the deep watters, an' earn Miss Frazier her deevidends. Will you not come to my cabin for tea?" said the skipper.
