“He sha'n't. I 'll take the whole upon myself.”
“You have done it, I see,” said Frobisher, coming close to Cashel, and affecting to examine his watch-guard; “and I warned you, notwithstanding.”

“Should be left where it is,” muttered Frobisher.
“How long should we probably be on the voyage, Mr. Cashel?” asked Miss O'Hara.
“Three—four—or five days—perhaps more.”
“I 'll give you a month's sail, and back 'Time' after all,” said Lord Charles.
