Always remember, my boy, that an ounce of promotion is worth enough perspiration to float the Narcissus." "But what shall we do for a port captain?" "I've ordered Mike Murphy via Matt, of course to take a vacation under full salary and recover from the wounds he received walloping that German crew on the Narcissus.
"I have half a mind to give you a walloping." "Never do anything by halves, Henry," said the boy, mildly. "I never do. It's a bad habit; always go the whole length or none. Now that we are alone, I'll give you a reasonable account of what I know, if you'll remove your hand from my collar.

Then he got into Martin's bed, and muttered and grumbled himself to sleep. Martin came out from under the table, and after dressing himself with great secrecy crept to the door to make his escape.
Didn't we use to call you Old Galahad? You were always walloping the bullies and taking the weaker chaps under your wing. To me, you were the last man in the world for this business.
