Glossin get to the end of his self-congratulations, and then asked him if he knew where the deed was?" "I know that is, I think I believe I can recover it In such cases custodiers have sometimes made a charge." "We won't differ as to that, sir," said the Colonel, taking out his pocket-book.
Our self-congratulations proved, however, to be premature, for the breeze lasted only about half an hour when it died away again, leaving us as completely becalmed as before.
There's Bernd, my beloved, my heart's own mate; and as I sat there dumb, and they all triumphed on with their self-congratulations and satisfactions, and Majestat this, and Deutschland that, for an awful moment my faith in Bernd himself began to shake.

We swore him to secrecy on that point, lest the Commodore should be disposed to engage the services of so distinguished an artist for his own table.
