I asked, almost snappishly, for a person sitting in such a lovely place. "Teach you to like me. I fell all over myself in love with you the first minute I saw you." "Day before yesterday!" I exclaimed. "What nonsense. You're poking fun at me. I don't believe in love at first sight at least, I don't think I do. Anyhow, nobody could fall in love with me in that way."

"They've both run away both of them this minute with Trelyon! You'll have to ride after them. They're straight away along the high-road." "Both of them?
"Calm and peaceful up here, isn't it?" said he, after waiting some time for her to speak. "Stars are very bright to-night." "Don't talk to me," said Miss Alsen snappishly. "Why doesn't this nasty little ship keep still? I believe it's you making her jump about like this." "Me?" said the mate in amazement. "Yes, with that wheel." "I can assure you " began the mate.
