Again in his room, in the heavy choking folds of velvet draperies, he was grave; the mere excitation of the night before had gone. What was this, he asked himself, that he had got into? What had Cytherea to do with it? Ungallantly the majority of his thoughts were engaged with the possibility, the absolute necessity, of escape. By God, he must get out of it, or rather, get it out of him!
She earnestly entreated to be allowed to accompany me on deck, and share whatever danger there might be, but this of course I would not allow, asserting, a little ungallantly, I fear, that she could do no good there, and would only be in the way.

Think of the good time we could have rescuing you." "Well, maybe you call that fun, but I should say it was pretty hard work," said Frank, ungallantly.
I have no further recollection of seeing the game until we were in the midst of them, for as we descended the hill other objects engrossed my attention.
