'Honor your father and mother, wasn't put on Moses's tables of stone for nothing, Mr. Bashwood.
"The Ariel it shall be." "Yes; and you remember," said Sally, "Mr. Moses here promised at that time that he would build a ship, and take us two round the world with him." Moses's eyes fell upon Mara as Sally said these words with a sort of sudden earnestness of expression which struck her.
But the thing, after all, that absorbed more of Moses's thoughts than all his lessons was the building and rigging of a small schooner, at which he worked assiduously in all his leisure moments. He had dozens of blocks of wood, into which he had cut anchor moulds; and the melting of lead, the running and shaping of anchors, the whittling of masts and spars took up many an hour.
