At last the ship's company were removed into the brig: we went out of the harbour, and anchored at Spithead. Captain Hawkins came on board and gave me an order-book, saying, "Mr Simple, I have a great objection to written orders, as I consider that the articles of war are quite sufficient to regulate any ship.
You have only fancied that since you fell in with the Evelyns." "Ah, if I had only bred you up in the same spirit as the Evelyns!" "It would not have answered. We are of different stuff. And after all, Janet and I are your only black sheep. Jock has his convictions in a strong, practical working order, as real to him as ever his drill and order-book were.
Well, we know how to get that one little particle out and we're the only firm that does. And we turn out an olive-oil that is just simply perfect undetectable! We are doing a ripping trade, too as I could easily show you by my order-book for this trip.
By this desk loitered a large man of bland and commanding presence. He wore a white waistcoat, and a massive gold chain, with which he toyed while watching the guileless spectators or sought with soothing voice to entice one to display his handwriting in the order-book.
I wrote a long letter to O'Brien, and the next day we sailed for our station in the North Sea. The captain added a night order-book to the other, and sent it up every evening, to be returned in the morning, with the signature of every officer of the night watches.

Then suddenly Roland half rose, and said, in a voice clear and firm, "But Lord Wellington, though a great captain, was a fallible man, sir, and the order-book was his own mortal handiwork. Get me the Bible!" Oh, Roland, Roland! and I had feared that thy mind was wandering!
'But surely the order-book 'No order for coffin, sir. Merely the cortège; day after to-morrow; parties making their own arrangements at cemetery. Brompton. 'And did none of the porters see who arrived at the flat this morning? 'None of 'em knows enough to be sure, sir.
Without a moment's hesitation, I took the proprietor of the livery stables aside and told him what the real importance was of the evidence of his order-book and the evidence of his driver. An arrangement to compensate him for the temporary loss of the man's services was easily made, and a copy of the entry in the book was taken by myself, and certified as true by the master's own signature.
