"Will thomebody pleathe take off my thhoeth?
If I bend down I'll thurely fall over on my nothe." There was a shout at this.

Both Harriet and Jane knelt on the floor to remove the shoes that Tommy feared to unbutton.

They assisted her into her cot, after which they arranged their own, each girl preparing for bed behind a curtain that had been strung across the cabin, thus making part of the kitchen a dressing room.

In the daytime the curtain was drawn back.
Harriet was the last to retire.

She sat up for an hour after the others had retired, rather anxiously watching the weather and the anchor rope, together with the behavior of the "Red Rover." The latter was riding the swells finely and with much less motion than might have been looked for in the fairly heavy sea that was running into the cove.
