Without more ado Cleggett lifted the lady and bore her onto the Jasper B. She was a heavy burden, but Cleggett declined the assistance of Cap'n Abernethy and George the Greek, who had come tardily out of the forecastle and now offered their assistance. "Get a bottle of wine," he told Yosh, as he passed the Japanese on the deck, "and then make some tea."
It is related of him that he repaired, on one occasion, to the Kita-yama palace of the shogun Yosh mitsu, wearing a ragged garment. Yoshimitsu at once changed his own brocade surcoat for the abbot's torn vestment, and subsequently, when conducting his visitor on a boating excursion, the shogun carried the priest's footgear.
Cleggett bent his head nearer, while Yosh picked up the dog, which violently objected, and asked again: "What is it?" "Orange pekoe, please," the lady murmured, dreamily. And then she sat up with a start, struggled to recover herself, and looked about her wildly. "Where am I?" she cried. "What has happened?" She passed her hand across her brow, frowning. "You fainted, madam," said Cleggett. "Oh!"
The Pomeranian, which had followed them into the cabin, and which now lay whimpering at her feet, also seemed to feel that she was awakening, and, crawling higher, began to lick one of her hands. "Make some tea, Yosh," said Cleggett. "What is it?" This last was addressed to the lady herself. Her eyes had opened for a fleeting instant as Cleggett spoke to the Japanese, and her lips had moved.
