"Y-e-es," sweetly acquiesced the star. "Y-e-es, you cross, I see but what for?" The actor hesitated. "You do so," went on Salvini, giving a merciless imitation of the swelling chest and stage stride of the guilty one, as he had crossed from centre down to extreme right. "You do so but for why? A-a-ah!" Suddenly he seemed to catch an idea.
"Fancy proposing to a girl without even prospects of prospects." "Oh, but I have got prospects. I tell you I shall make no end of money on the stage." "Or no beginning," she said, finding the facetious vein easiest. "No fear. "Wasn't that the man who appeared at the police-court the other day for being drunk and disorderly?"

"No, sir, none," answered Peterby abstractedly, and leaning forward to administer a gentle pull to the flowered waistcoat. "This coat, sir, is very well, I think, and yet y-e-es, perhaps it might be a shade higher in the collar, and a thought tighter at the waist. Still, it is very well on the whole, and these flattened revers are an innovation that will be quite the vogue before the week is out.
"Y-e-es; you see you know a good deal, my young friend, but we should bury you decently. You broke up the rendezvous at Rorley Place, and spoiled the smuggler's landing, did you not?"

She smiled as she saw him, but there were traces of tears in her proud, handsome eyes. "You are going to ride?" she said pleasantly. "Y-e-es," stammered the shamefaced Clarence. She glanced at him wistfully. "You are right.
Or, if that attempt also should fail, we surely ought to be able, with the help of the barque's people, to communicate with the authorities ashore, and claim from them rescue from our present precarious and exceedingly unpleasant situation." "Y-e-es," my companion assented meditatively.
"I have allowed a point and a half for leeway, and three knots drift, both of which I reckon are above rather than below the mark." "Y-e-es," agreed the skipper reflectively; "yes, she will not have made more than that, I should think. And you have, of course, also allowed for tide and current."
