From twenty yards away Captain Baster greeted them in a rich hearty voice: "How's Terebus and the Error; and how's Freckles?" he cried, and laughed heartily at his own delightful humor. The Twins greeted him with a cold, almost murderous politeness; Wiggins shook hands with Mrs. Dangerfield very warmly and left out Captain Baster. "I'm always pleased to see you with the Twins, Wiggins," said Mrs.
Dangerfield observed this example of the thoughtfulness of her offspring with an air of doubtful surprise. Captain Baster took the cigarette-case and said with hearty jocularity: "Thank you, Error thank you. But why didn't you bring it to me, Terebus? Then you'd have earned that kiss I'm going to give you."
Dangerfield with her delightful smile. "I know you keep them out of mischief." "It's generally all over before I come," said Wiggins somewhat glumly; and of a sudden it occurred to him to spurn the earth. "I've not had that kiss yet, Terebus. I'm going to have it this time I'm here," said Captain Baster playfully; and he laughed his rich laugh.
