Had he, Charon, owned the exclusive right of way on the Styx all these years to have it disputed here in the closing decade of the Nineteenth Century? Had not he dealt satisfactorily with all, whether it was in the line of ferriage or in the providing of boats for pleasure-trips up the river?
It was no longer a mere question of my liberty. I was all eyes and ears for whatever information I could gather. Yeux-gris spoke to me, for the first time gravely: "This is not a time when folks take pleasure-trips to Paris. What brought you?" "I used to be Monsieur's page down at St. Quentin," I answered, deeming the straight truth best.
"Hungry? Then why didn't you have some food as soon as you got back?" "Because I had to go and tell them my news; and then I wanted to see how you were. How is your wound?"

While the Curlew had made no blue-water voyages, they had sailed her more than once up and down the California coast on offshore regattas and pleasure-trips, and, lacking experience in actual navigation, Rainey was a pretty handy sailorman for an amateur.
It was monotonous in his official duties, in his pleasure-trips, and in his social experiences. He found one good friend in Liverpool, Mr. Henry Bright, to whom he had already been introduced in America, and he soon made another in Mr. Francis Bennoch, who lived near the same city.
And a reservoir has been made there which is called Al Buheira , and in it are many sorts of fish. Ships overlaid with silver and gold are there, belonging to the king, who takes pleasure-trips in them with his women .
