SIMON. Very likely. But, I say, we mustn’t stay on gossiping. We must be getting back. Did you bail out the boat?
CAMERON. I did not, but I will do it now if such iss your wish.

MARY ROSE. Just as father used to do with me!
SIMON. I dare say lots of bold tourists come over here.
CAMERON. That iss so, if ignorance be boldness, and sometimes——
SIMON. Quite so. But I really think we must be starting.
MARY ROSE. No, dear. Please go on, Mr. Cameron.
