Mrs Nesbitt and her son John lingered in the room, and whispered together. In a little while the mother beckoned to Effie. "My poor bairn," she said, "if you have anything to say to your father, or anything to ask of him, it had better be now." Effie gave a quick, startled look. "Now?" she said. "So soon?" "Effie, my bairn, for the sake of the rest," whispered her friend.
Nesbitt owns a lot of houses around town, and we have charge of their rental. One day he gave me the address of one of his most tumble down shacks, and promised me a bonus of five dollars if I rented it for fifteen dollars a month on a year's lease. About ten days later, sure enough I rented it, family to take possession immediately. Mr.

Christie rarely spoke at such times as these never, except when a question was asked; and then her reply was generally prefaced with, "I have heard my father say," or, "Effie once told me," or, "I heard John Nesbitt saying."
On the completion of this, the command was given to hoist away; whereupon the halliards were manned below and the topsails run up again. "Trim sails!" sang out Commander Nesbitt as soon as he saw the middies and their men coming down from aloft. "Lee braces brace up the yards!"
