"Your Tilly and my old Nancy shall do the rest good nurses both, white souls with black skins, watchful, loving, tender just perfect nurses! and competent liars from the cradle.... Look you! keep a little watch on Helen; she is sick, and is going to be sicker." The ladies looked a little surprised, and not credulous; and Hester said: "How is that?
Though I bided my time, ran up a comfortable hotel bill, and, at the very last, ordered my own generous assortment of liquors and cigars and charged the bill to the schooner. Such a to-do!

I got it all planned out while I was layin' there." "Is your sister a bad woman?" "Nobody dast say that, even if I hain't got legs. I'd grab somethin' and throw it at 'em."

I rather expected you would whenever I thought about that part of it, but I very seldom did." "What happened when you lay to?" "Nothing at first. We bumped about a bit for five or six hours, and Temple got frightfully sick again. I never saw a man sicker. Harlewood kept on muddling about with charts, and doing sums on sheets of paper, and consulting with O'Meara.
If, among a thousand nervous "saints" who may read these words, one is thereby enabled to find herself out, they are worth the pains of writing many times over.
