"I didn't know you were so observant," replied Helena demurely.
"Is that so?" said the fat lady, with a conspicuous lack of incredulity; and she put her hand involuntarily to her frizzes. This time she did not trust to the umbrella-handle as a medium of communication between the stage-driver and herself. Putting her hand through the port-hole she grasped Chugg’s arm—the bottle arm—with no uncertain grip. "Why, Mr.

Previous to stepping on board, an open port-hole near the main-chains caught his eye; and, on looking into it, he perceived a man reclining back in a chair, with writing materials on a table before him; but the feebleness of the light made everything very indistinct.
How did it all happen, most blessed lady? "The lazy, good-natured sea, that loves us well, washes up and glances through my port-hole as I write, as if in answer to my question.

Yonder!” he pointed out the open port-hole, “there rides the array of our Athenian ships.

I sat in an arm-chair which would have suited Falstaff, and whose tabular arms would have held all Falstaff's tankards, and gazed through a magnified port-hole at a six-masted schooner as it crossed the field of vision!
