It appears Jimmy objected to a wet floor and that morning we were in a compassionate mood. We thought the boatswain a brute, and, practically, told him so. Only Mr. Baker's delicate tact prevented an all-fired row: he refused to take us seriously. He came bustling forward, and called us many unpolite names but in such a hearty and seamanlike manner that we began to feel ashamed of ourselves.
A little flowery plot of girl's handwriting had caught my eye, and a girl's pretty name. When Love and Beauty meet, it is hard not to play the eavesdropper, and it was easy to guess that Love and Beauty met upon that page. St. Anthony had no harder fight with the ladies he was unpolite enough to call demons, than I in resisting the temptation to take another look at that pen-and-ink love making.

'No, Sir, replied Mr. Pickwick, 'he is a guest of ours. 'He is a member of your club, or I am mistaken? said the lieutenant inquiringly. 'Certainly not, responded Mr. Pickwick. 'And never wears your club-button? said the lieutenant.
'Your ladyship. My dear, if they fix on that way of speaking, you must just let me practice a little on you first, for I shall feel so foolish and hot saying it the first time to Lady Glenmire." It was really a relief to Miss Matty when Mrs Jamieson came on a very unpolite errand.
