His children had inherited his straight, sharp features and his small, black, vivid eyes. Their hair was of various hues of black. Maggie's was raven black and glossy; Sally's was coarse and of a hue like black-lead; Grace's was abundant and relieved with sooty shades; Willy's hair was brown.
"Where is my rifle; we must do battle with the seals notwithstanding." Willy soon assisted his friend to get on his feet; but when they looked round for the seals, not one was to be seen; the sound of the rifle and the doctor's and Willy's voices had put the whole family to flight.

Not that McElvina had any opinion of Willy's judgment, but, from the affectionate feeling which every sailor imbibes for his own ship, he expected gratification even in the admiration of a child.
Burke took a deep satisfied breath. The opportunity had already come to him to speak his mind. "Afford it!" said he. "I should think so! Mrs. Cliff must be very rich. She is worth, I should say well, I don't know what to say, not knowing exactly and precisely what each person got when the grand division was made." Willy's loyalty to Mrs.
'Every novice in our order, sir, said Chalks, 'must approve his mettle by undergoing something in the nature of an initiatory ordeal. We may now drop foolery, and converse like intelligent human beings. You were asking our opinion of Willy's daub 'Willy? questioned Blake. 'Ay Bouguereau.
