'For the packet?' she enquired, with one of her charming smiles, and cutting a caper on the floor. 'To be sure; you don't suppose they would forget. We have two hours yet to wait.'
'Can we see the sea from the window?'
'No, dearest cheaile; you will see't time enough.'
'I'd like to get up,' I said.
'Time enough, my dear Maud; you are fatigued; are you sure you feel quite well?'
'Well enough to get up; I should be better, I think, out of bed.'
'There is no hurry, you know; you need not even go by the next packet. Your uncle, he tell me, I may use my discretion.'
'Is there any water?'
'They will bring some.'
