"Of course they were. What was it about, Becky?" "May-day, flowers and queens and baskets." "Oh, my! Well, tell us how they said it, Becky." "I tole yer they warn't funny; they warn't o' that kind that peeks through them long stick glasses and puckers up their lips. They talked straight 'long, and said very int'restin' things," said Becky. "Well, tell us; tell us what 'twas," exclaimed Lizzie.
I had decided to have another waiter for the forward cabin, and thus allow Peeks to do the proper work of a chief steward in looking out for the whole of his department. We had been in port so much during the winter that I found I could well afford the additional expense, for my payments had been less than the estimate. Though we were to cruise on the St.

Every dog of the lot was barking furiously and with gleaming eyes and tail erect striving to communicate tidings of importance. Yet bark as they might, the message they sought to voice remained, alas, untold.
From there without moving they could get sidewise peeks at the climbing moon. At five o'clock in the morning they were still sitting there, heads together and arms across each other's shoulders. When we grew tired of walking we sought little anchorages. By two o'clock any man on deck could have had his pick of abandoned chairs, but they were not good chairs the extension part too short.
"I have been waiting here half an hour for it." "I am very sorry, but it happens so sometimes, even when I do my best," replied Peeks, evidently much disturbed by the situation.
