His lordship was about the size of Mr. Woolridge, who was more than happy to provide for the needs of this gentleman. Professor Giroud was a rather slender person; and from his wardrobe came the suit and other furnishings for the titled Hindu.
"Would you like to go to a hotel in Manila, ladies?" asked he. No one answered the question, but three of them glanced at Mrs. Belgrave, as though they expected her to reply; but she made no sign. "You don't answer, ladies," added the captain. "We are waiting for Mrs. Belgrave to speak," said Mrs. Woolridge. "I beg you will excuse me," said that lady, laughing.

Lowell Woolridge, a Fifth Avenue millionaire and magnate. He had formerly been a well-known sportsman; but he had abandoned the race-course, though he kept up his interest in yachting. He was the owner of a large sailing schooner; and through this craft Louis and his mother became acquainted with the yachtsman's family, consisting of his wife, a son, and a daughter.
Woolridge nor Mrs. Belgrave would consent to continue the voyage even in the face of a very remote danger to their children.
