"I begged Madame to let me make it up any other time, but of course she wouldn't." "Oh, well, we're not going to dress alike this time," said Sally May, "so it doesn't matter. It was fun, though, wasn't it, making sailor-boy costumes out of sheets and pillowcases, and I never laughed so hard in my life as when North House came in.
"You'll get it when Miss Dimchurch comes!" His mind relieved of a great fear, Henry leaned back and smiled confidently. "I'm not afraid of the old girl," he said quietly, as he pulled out his pipe and filled it. The small girl's eyes glistened with admiration. "I wish I was a boy," she said plaintively, "then I shouldn't mind her. Are you a sailor-boy?" "Sailor," corrected Henry; "yes."
You wait till my 'usband comes 'ome. "'But I am your 'usband, I ses. 'Don't you know me, my pretty? Don't you know your pet sailor-boy? "She gave a screech like a steam-injin, and then she went next door and began knocking away like mad. Then I see that I 'ad gorn to number twelve instead of number fourteen.
Some say they have seen her, on stormy nights, wandering among the cliffs: but a sailor-boy assures me, by all the holy things, that the day after the burning of the Castle Chapel we never call it anything else he met at dawn, off the island of Palmaria, beyond the Strait of Porto Venere, a Greek boat, with eyes painted on the prow, going full sail to sea, the men singing as she went.
Under such disadvantageous circumstances, it is not to be wondered at that the sailor-boy found but few opportunities of holding communication with the half-caste girl, who, by the singular chances already stated, had been his fellow-voyager on board the ill-fated bark.
He does not tell us how a sailor-boy, with a line around his waist and a pocket full of spikes, hammered his way to the top of the staff, and restored the tackling by which the flag was flung to the breeze before the barges containing the British rear-guard had reached the fleet.

You shall hear while the chest floats on. Halcyone was a fairy maiden, the daughter of the beach and of the wind. And she loved a sailor-boy, and married him; and none on earth were so happy as they. But at last Ceyx was wrecked; and before he could swim to the shore the billows swallowed him up. And Halcyone saw him drowning, and leapt into the sea to him; but in vain.
He had made a dozen attempts to supplant Carroll, and had been foiled by the laughing pair. What was the use of being a good-looking fellow of six-and-twenty, head of one of the county families and owner of Latimer's Court and Ashendale, if he were to be set aside by a beggarly sailor-boy? What did Fothergill mean by bringing his poor relations dragging after him where they were not wanted?
Now, seated side by side with this young creature on board the Catamaran, even on that frail embarkation, which at any moment might be scattered to the winds, or whelmed under the black billows of the sea, the sailor-boy no longer felt pain while gazing in her face, but only that sweet incomprehensible pleasure.
