"And now you, Saint Simon; what have you got to say about the weather?" "That I have been talking to the shipmaster, and he says the weather is going to be very fine " "That's good," cried the King. " but very windy." "That's bad," said the King "for the poor horses," he added hastily. "I wish we had had them fastened up below."
He was only just beginning to realize the comparative unimportance of a retired shipmaster, and the knowledge was a source of considerable annoyance to him. No deferential mates listened respectfully to his instructions, no sturdy seaman ran to execute his commands or trembled mutinously at his wrath.

None will look for you till you return, I suppose? Well, I came out to find adventures, and on my word, I am in the way to find them." "Not a bad beginning," laughed Bertric.

"Captain Rheid told father he was going to let Mrs. Rheid name it." "Yes," said Linnet, dropping her eyes to hide the smile in them, "she is named LINNET." "Oh, how nice!
