"Quick, quick! haste away!" cried a voice, and Roger Trew was seen running up as fast as his legs could carry him to the house. "The pirates have seen the wreck, and are pulling in fast towards it," he exclaimed.
Completely restored now to her normal mood, Gertie mentioned a number of alert repartees which she would have made if Henry's sister-in-law had given suitable openings. "I suppose," remarked Mr. Trew, emptying his cup by giving it a jerk over his shoulder, "that, after all, she isn't nearly so bad as she's painted.
It is trew that the contrax of our house have heretofore been celebrated in a manner more befitting our Rank, and not in private, and with few witnesses, as a thing done in a corner.

"I shan't like feeling myself beaten, but it's wiser to do that now than to leave it till later." Mr. Trew became reproachful, almost sarcastic.

We must remember not to fire if it can be helped."
Trew stopped to make his announcement in a dramatic form. "She's going to get spliced." "So I guessed," remarked Gertie. "But can you guess who to?" "I think I can." "Oh," he said regretfully. "Of course, if I'm not the first in the field with the news, there's an end of it. I sh'd say they'd be a very comfortable, 'appy, get-on-well-together couple, once they settle down."

No! Em'ly's alive! He put his hand down firmly on the table, and set his sunburnt face into a resolute expression.
