Tom observed: "The grandeur is ah! fahscinating, but it's rather damp grandeur. It's only grandeur fit for heroes. Give me all my grandeur dry, if you please." "Yes, sir," said the streaming skipper, "that was a near thing for you and me when she shipped it. If I hadn't been on the right side of the mast, both on us must have gone."
Blair shook his jolly sides and rose, muttering something about a fahscinating young puppy; whereby it may be perceived that he was thinking of mocking Tom.
