James Tibbetts looked long and hopefully at the browned face of his young partner; but at what he saw there his hopes vanished. "You're set on this, I see, Rog," he said sorrowfully. "Cheer up, Jim!" responded Payne. "I'll give you a deal that will help you get rich a lot quicker than if I stayed with you." Tibbetts shook his head and was silent a long time.
He footed from bottom to top, checked the result by footing from top to bottom, erased his light penciled figures and rewrote them in ink, laid the sheet to one side and folded his hands in resignation. "I knew it was coming, Rog. I've seen the signs for weeks past. You've been ramping round like a man in prison. Dang it, Rog, I'm sorry." "Jim," said Roger, "this is no business for me to be in."
"Well, if you're bound to sell, you won't go out of here exactly busted after two years with me," he said at last. "Rog! Do you mean it? We're going to part?"

Gunn placed a hand, which lacked two fingers, on his breast, and bowed again.
The cause why she was not crowned, was by reason of hir yoong yeares, and for that she had not as yet accompanied with hir husband. Rog. And to his sonne king Henrie he gaue the dutchie of Normandie, and all those lands which came by his father Geffrey earle of Aniou. And to his yoongest sonne John be bequeathed the earledome of Mortaine.
The next daie, as the Frenchmen came foorth againe, purposing to haue won Gisors, they were beaten backe by the Normans, who issued out of the towne to skirmish with them. Rog. Wil. Wil.
Twenty-seven! Come out of it, Rog. Fifty-seven is the proper age to begin dreaming about quitting business." "I know it. That's why I'm going to do it now, before the game gets me. It gets everybody who stays in it. It would even get me. Then at fifty-seven, as you say, I might quit and go outdoors and begin to live too late.
The names of these men were John Williams a Canadian, Peter Rog a Dane, Francis Frederick a Spaniard, Miles Petersen a Swede, William Stromer a Prussian, and Nathaniel White an Englishman. Before the Plattsburg had passed Cape Henry symptoms of insubordination appeared among the crew.
