And pray, how is Miss Noble, sir? said I.
gpt
I have not seen her since Tuesday.
human
Very well; wonderfully well,
gpt
How do you find her in looks after her terrible experience?
human
Why, neither her mother nor I see any change. She is a shade paler than she commonly is. But the girl has the heart of a lioness.
gpt
So she has, sir.
human
Now, said he,
gpt
Mr. Portlack, tell me about those two cursed Spaniards. I want to get at them.
human
What did your daughter tell you about those two men?
gpt
Why, she was insensible, she says, for the greater part of the time, and you informed her that, on the day of her recovery, you transshipped the two miscreants at their request. What vessel received them?
human
Your daughter told you that she was insensible, sir, and that she continued insensible for many days?
gpt
Yes,
human
That, said I,
gpt
When your daughter awoke from her first swoon, Captain Noble, she awoke--mad.
human
What do you mean by mad?
gpt
She was a maniac, said I.
human
And I wish that were all.
gpt
Out with it--out with it _all_, then, man, for God's sake!
human
Only one Spaniard, along with the Spanish steward, left the schooner. The body of the other Spaniard we dropped overboard.
