These solemn old-young people are quite busy doing nothing about the wharf, and appear to be afflicted with an undue sense of the responsibility of life.

He regarded it as futile and rash. Yet he did not forbid it he dared not. For there was Jamieson's old-young face and whitening head; and a hidden spark of hope that would not die.

She kept quite still. Then, as of old, when her father was in trouble, she did as she was wont in those old-young days she slipped her little hand into his and waited for him to break the silence. After a while he stood up. "Ye'd betther be goin' to bed, Peg." "All right, father." She went to the door. Then she stopped. "Ye're glad I'm home, father?" He pressed her closely to him for answer.

But what can one expect from a plebeian! "News?" says Marian, lifting her brows. "Well," testily, "I suppose there is some! How is the ménage going on? How is it being managed, eh?
