"A good name," said Mr. Copley.
"Why that was five and a half years ago, child. Did he make such an impression on you? Where is he now?"
"I don't know."
"You have never seen him since?"
"Nor heard of him. I could not even find his name in any of the lists of officers of ships, that I saw sometimes in the paper."
"I'll look for it," said Mr. Copley.
But though he was as good as his word, he was no more successful than Dolly had been.
