"No."
"I think you did. But that has nothing to do with the present situation. I want to know if you are willing to come to terms or not?"
"What—er—terms do you want me to make?"
"Are you in control of this boat?'
"I am."
"Then, in the first place, you must turn the control of the boat over to me."
"And after that?"
"You can remain on board, if you behave yourself, until we reach the mainland."
"And what then?"
"After that you can make your own terms with Mrs. Stanhope and Dora."
