I snapped my fingers, burst into a loud laugh that confounded the passers-by, and said: "Now you shall just go to Levion the parson. You shall, as sure as death ay, just for a try. What have you got to lose by it? and it is such glorious weather!" I entered Pascha's book-shop, found Pastor Levion's address in the directory, and started for it. Now for it! said I. Play no pranks.
By that time the Pascha's men, helped by Drake himself, had taken turn about at the pump brakes, and the pumping had been carried on for eight or nine hours without ceasing. The pumping had freed her only about a foot and a half, and the leak was still undiscovered.
By degrees, a wonderful feeling stole over me of being far, far away in other places; I had a half-undefined sense that it was not I who was going along over the gravel hanging my head. A few minutes later, they reached Pascha's bookshop. I had already stopped at the first window, and as they go by I step forward and repeat: "You are losing your book, madam!"
He hoped his brother would give him "leave from attending him in fishing," as he wished to find the leak without delay. Drake offered to send the Pascha's men abroad to take a spell at the pumps, but this John Drake did not wish. He had men enough, he said; and he would like his brother to continue his fishing, so that they might have fresh fish for dinner.
