Nub reverently placed himself on his knees by her side, and repeated the words she used. "I will now sing a hymn," she said, reseating herself on the hen-coop. From that solitary spot on the desert ocean arose to heaven a sweet hymn of praise, Nub, who, like many negroes, could sing well, joining with his voice. Darkness came down over the deep, shrouding the raft with its sable canopy.
Milly cast a fleeting glance backward over what had happened to her since four forty-five! "But it doesn't matter now," he said with intention, "all the waiting!"

I think there can be no harm in a little mutual frankness, and and it seems to me that a certain allowance for respective circumstances can well be demanded."

Conceive our indignation at having floundered about for two hours only to find ourselves again at our point of departure!
"I beg I pray you to remain one moment," cried the young man, reseating her with gentle force upon the sofa. He walked half across the room to repress his agitation; then leaning on a table near the young girl, said: "Mademoiselle Charlotte, you are unhappy; are you not?" "A little, perhaps," she answered. "I do not mean at this moment, but always?" "Always!"
Humbled and deeply displeased, she rose from the awful chair, and then, as suddenly reseating herself, she said, with a voice and lip of the most cutting irony, "My lord chamberlain is, it seems, so habituated to lackey his king amidst the goldsmiths and grocers, that he forgets the form of language and respect of bearing which a noblewoman of repute is accustomed to consider seemly."
