Here she rolls six fathoms from the glacis that'll rip her copper garments off, and the quiverin' engines pull her back; and she swings and struggles and trembles between hell in the hurricane and God A'mighty in the engines; till at last she gets her nose at the neck of the open sea and crawls out safe and sound.... I guess he'd have more marble in his cheeks, if he saw likes o' that, Miss Falchion?"

"She took hold of it her little arms was stiff as railroad ties and her hands was cold. "She looked at me again and whispered: "'Ith that my dolly, really, truly, mithter?
