She looked up at him with her grey eyes, humiliated and lonely. "No thanks!" she said. "Why won't you?" he answered carelessly. The blood was beating up like fire in his veins. Mrs. Radford sat down again, large and impressive and aloof. He left Clara altogether to attend to the mother. "They say Sarah Bernhardt's fifty," he said. "Fifty! She's turned sixty!" came the scornful answer.
Even that ceased to trouble her, as she swayed gently to and fro in the comfortable warmth flung out by the stove, and very soon she was fast asleep.

It was only a glance, and might stand for nothing, but she had seen it and was angry with herself for the indiscretion which had made her utter words which had better not have been spoken. The men came out of the bedroom then, so she and Nellie were able to go in. 'Duke Radford was considerably battered.
But sit you down." Clara, much embarrassed, gave him a chair against the wall opposite the white heaps. Then she herself took her place on the sofa, shamedly. "Will you drink a bottle of stout?"

"Let me see them immediately," answered the officer; and Master Clough and the rest of his attendants were summoned on deck. "They are returning to England, having received orders to quit the Netherlands," observed Captain Radford, as he introduced them. "But you have many more passengers: who are they?" inquired the officer.
"This man claims to have been bit by a rattler an' lays up over night in Ben Radford's cabin makin' love to Mary Radford."
