March 15, 1920. 8:30 A.M. Marise fitted little Mark's cap down over his ears and buttoned his blue reefer coat close to his throat. "Now you big children," she said, with an anxious accent, to Paul and Elly standing with their school-books done up in straps, "be sure to keep an eye on Mark at recess-time. Don't let him run and get all hot and then sit down in the wind without his coat.
And in the evening, when the children and Halliday were mending their shrimping nets, he said: "At the back of orthodox religion, so far as I can see, there's always the idea of reward what you can get for being good; a kind of begging for favours. I think it all starts in fear." She was sitting on the sofa making reefer knots with a bit of string.
This edition will include all the novels and tales, only omitting the three items marked in the above list with an asterisk. The text will be, for the most part, that of the first editions, except for the correction of a few obvious errors and some modernisation of spelling. Rattlin the Reefer, so frequently attributed to Marryat, will not be reprinted here.
"Tegeloo shall bring you your treasures here." "There's poor Texas, if he isn't killed already," said Hope. "And Andy," added Faith, when suddenly out popped the monkey's head from the reefer pocket, and, looking-glass still in hand, he scrambled down into Faith's lap. "Why why!" cried the astonished captain, "Was it Andy?
"How is your poor hand, Marcus?" He growled something under his breath and thrust his hand deep into the pocket of his reefer coat. "It is quite well," he snapped, and went back to Monaco and his solitary boat trip, flaming. "One of these days ..." he muttered, as he tuned up the motor. He did not finish his sentence, but sent the nose of the Jungle Queen at full speed for the open sea.
She did not want to think of him, herself, or the demise of her higher authority nearly a year ago, and how like a good captain her higher authority had bravely gone down the toilet with her reefer ship. She thought again about the boys. Children were often thought of as callow adults making their inchoate journeys into adulthood.
It wasn't much of a snow-storm, but Dinkie was greatly worked up at the sight of it and I finally put on his little reefer and his waders and let him go out in it. But the weather had moderated, the snow turned to slush, and when I rescued Dinkie from rolling in what looked to him like a world of ice-cream he was a very wet boy.
Evidently the Chronicle's name carried weight in the Reid establishment. "Please come into the library. I'll go and tell him." Patty had just time to seat herself at the table, spread out her paper imposingly, and assume a businesslike air when Mr. Reefer came in.
Stealing into the bar, he took a bottle of whisky and a bottle of brandy; these he hid under his reefer, and, with a laugh at his own cunning, put into the empty places on the shelves two partly filled bottles, and ran to the wharf. Mary McAdam waved them a farewell from the steps. She had packed the hamper and stowed it under the very sail she had ordered off.
They are working so hard to break out into green," she said. "One loves everything at this time everything! Look at the children round the pond. That fat, little boy in a reefer and brown leather leggings is bursting with joy. Let us go and praise his boat, Fraulein." They went and Robin praised the boat until its owner was breathless with rapture.
