"Yes, that's her name, I believe."
"Well, I'm all ready to go."
"Sit down and eat your dinner.
"I've been to dinner."
"Mr. Sherwood wanted you to go up in the Sherman; but it is too late for her, and he may go in the night boat."
"I'm ready when he is. Father, there is a gentleman outside who wants to go over the lake; and there is a team waiting in the road," continued Lawry.
"They must wait till I've done my dinner," replied the ferryman.
"Who is the gentleman?"
"Mr. Randall; he is a director in a bank, and has six thousand dollars with him."
"I suppose so; every man but me has six thousand dollars in his pocket. Where's he going to?"
"To Shoreham, and he wants to get there by five o'clock, if he can."
