Though I had never visited Penleven I knew, on the evidence of many picture-shows, that the place was well worth seeing. It occurred to me that I would anchor for an hour or two in the entrance of the haven, and eat my lunch ashore at Mr. Job's hotel. Mr. Job would doubtless be pleased to recover his long-lost volume, and I had no more wish than right to retain it. Job's hotel was unpretending.

Blake he turns round and says, 'This here's a very amusin' book, Mrs. Job. Would you mind my borrowing it for a day or two to copy out some of the poetry? I'll bring it back next time we put into Penleven. Of course my wife says, 'No, she didn't mind. Then the elder Mr. Blake he says, 'I see you had a visitor here yesterday a Mr. MacGuire.
