On the forward deck, at the foot of the mast, sat a young man in a state of placidness. His feet stuck out on the bowsprit, while his mildly contemplative eyes went forth unto the roundabout. At the tiller stood our guide and boatman, his sombre eye steady on the south-by-east.
"There is but little more to tell," said the old woman, who with stolid placidness had resumed her former occupation, and once more rubbed the white shoulders with the sweet-smelling unguent; "nor could I tell thee how it all happened.
It was lost in thought. "My love see here what please the Lord 'the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price."
