According to her command he set out, cruised the ocean to the East, and to the West, and searched everywhere for the unknown gift.

The suit that had belonged to Rufus so long ago she laid away with an odd reverence, still scarcely knowing what she did, driven as it were by a mechanism that worked without any volition of hers.
