Wilding, and he permitted himself that tight-lipped smile that gave his face so wicked a look. "And why not?" asked Grey, stupidly unsuspicious.

Grey got angrily to his feet, rage and shame flushing his face, and it needed Ferguson and the Duke to restore him to some semblance of calm.
The Admiral received him on the quarter-deck with a very low and formal bow, and referred him to Earl Spencer, in the cabin, whom he soon found not to be influenced by any arguments he could employ. Lord Bridport was never pleased that independent frigate squadrons were appointed to cruise within his station.

Then she struck into the West Haven way and soon slipped under the black mass of the old store.
Clerk, the pin hath but another minute's hold; rehearse what has been done, for I must get this lease delivered and off to Bridport, where much business waits.
