I did. Before I opened my eyes in the morning I knew something had happened, for I missed the usual charm of dawn.
You just keep squawking to the bookkeeping department and youll get further than coming up against the Old Man. Now let's go out and look at nature in the raw." "But my copy," I protested. "Oh, that," he said airily, "I'll run that off when we come back. Deadlines mean nothing to Jacson Gootes, the compositors' companion, the proofreaders' pardner, the layoutman's love.
I could see the little chap, sitting here every evening by the windmill, nursing his pipe and listening to the silence; the wheeze of the pump, the grunting of the pigs, an occasional squawking when the hens were disturbed by a rat. It did rather seem to me that Cuzak had been made the instrument of Antonia's special mission.
The tide, too, was unusually high. It rolled over the wharves, swept up the shipyards, and even ventured into the yard back of Silas Trefethen's store, floating away a hencoop with its squawking tenants. "It beats all!" said Simes Badger. "The oldest person round here never saw such a tide."

Up from the cabin deck came a handful of men passengers to inquire what had happened; behind them a woman began calling shrilly for her husband. "We touched a rock," the skipper explained, briefly. "Kindly go below and stop that squawking. There's no danger." There followed a harrowing wait of several minutes; then James, the first officer, came to report.
