When it grounded, Davids, Mander's friend, jumped on shore, bearing in his arms a pile of great coarse sacks.

These he threw upon the sand and, handing to Dickory the gold pieces he had given him, said: "The captain sends word that he has no time to look over any goods to give or to sell, but he sends these sacks, out of which the women can fashion themselves gowns, and so come aboard.

Then the ship shall be searched for stuffs which will suit their purposes and which they can make at their leisure." It was towards the close of the afternoon that all of the Mander family and Dickory came down to the boat which was waiting for them.
"Do you know," said Dickory, as he and Lucilla stood together on the sand, "that in that gown of gray, with the white sleeves, and the red cord around your waist, you please me better than even you did when you wore your sailor garb ?" "And what matters it, sir, whether I please you or not ?".
