I have it, husband! We will get a nurse for the dear man. I will remain, and Margaret and myself and the nurse can see to him, and will follow you when he can travel.
gpt
You are a great little woman, sure enough; but you are such a one that I would rather remain than go without you.
human
Duty, love. Hist, we must always be brave and self-forgetful enough to do our duty. I am going now to see Margaret.

human

So had I, said Grace,

I have news for you, he said.
gpt
I have sold the 'Pallas.' She will sail to-morrow, and now I propose to remain with you, and go with you to London when you go.
human
You have sold the dear ship? said Sedgwick.
gpt
And what of the doctor and the crew?
human
They will sail in her. The doctor will be up to make his adieus to-night. They wanted to charter the craft for a long voyage. I would not go, but offered to sell, and they bought, and re-engaged the officers, the surgeon and the crew.
gpt
Let us go on board, said Sedgwick.
human
I want to bid those good men good-bye.
gpt
So do I, said the captain.
human
I will be grateful if you will go with me.
gpt
Wait a moment until I run down to the bank, said Sedgwick.
human
While I am gone, Grace, get your hat and wrap; and by the way, captain, how many men and officers are there?
gpt
Six officers, the surgeon and steward, three waiters, twelve seamen and sixteen men in the firing department.
human
Pallas.
