It would be beneficial for you to make the effort, and the Rollos would be grateful. It is not easy to make her talk, but you would find it worth the effort, for she has sweet thoughts, and on occasion a pretty little wit of her own!"
Why couldn't you go on loving me best, and being happy and comfortable?" Peggy wept and moaned, and Arthur shook her by the shoulder with all a man's horror at the sight of tears. "Hold hard, Peg! Hold hard! For pity's sake don't cry! Your eyes will be crimson in another moment, and the Rollos will be coming in to tea, and wondering what on earth is the matter. So unbecoming, too!
For the sea-kings of the sixteenth century the Drakes, Hawkinses, Frobishers, Raleighs, Cavendishes the De Moors, Heemskerks, Barendts all sprung of the old pirate-lineage, whether called Englanders or Hollanders, and instinct with the same hereditary love of adventure, were about to wrestle with ancient tyrannies, to explore the most inaccessible regions, and to establish new commonwealths in worlds undreamed of by their ancestors to accomplish, in short, more wondrous feats than had been attempted by the Knuts, and Rollos, Rurics, Ropers, and Tancreds, of an earlier age.
"Because it was true. You can let Carter make it up, and wear it over your white silk at the Rollos' on Thursday, and if that isn't useful, what is, I should like to know? I wish you could have seen your face when I said it was useful. It grew about a yard long." "I knew it did, though I tried so hard to smile and look pleased.
The vessel was crammed till its sides bulged, it was loaded down in utter defiance of the Plimsoll law, with Rollos and Clarences and Dwights and Twombleys who had known and golfed and ridden and driven and motored and swum and danced with Ann for years.
They reached the end of the deck, and turned. Ann looked up at him. "I've hardly seen anything of you since we sailed," she said. She spoke almost reproachfully. "Tell me all about yourself, Mr. Bayliss. Why are you going to America?" Jimmy had had an impassioned indictment of the Rollos on his tongue, but she had closed the opening for it as quickly as she had made it.

Naturally a girl who had associated all her life with the Rollos, Clarences, Dwights, and Twombleys would come to despair of the possibility of falling in love with any one. "You haven't met the right man," he said. She had, of course, but only recently: and, anyway, he could point that out later.
In face of her direct demand for information he could not hark back to it now. After all, what did the Rollos matter? They had no part in this little wind-swept world: they were where they belonged, in some nether hell on the C. or D. deck, moaning for death. "To make a fortune, I hope," he said.
