The Tiger of Mysore

CHAPTER 1: A Lost Father
20/33

I found it so on my voyage to England.
"At any rate, we don't want our affairs talked about.

It will be quite sufficient for people to know that we are, as I said, going out to make some inquiries about the truth of this rumour." "All right, Mother.

At any rate, the captain has told you that he will look after you, and make things comfortable for you, so we need not care about anything else." "We certainly need not care, Dick; but it is much more agreeable to get on nicely with everyone.

I was very pleased when Captain Barstow called yesterday and said that, having heard at the office that the Mrs.Holland on the passenger list was the widow of his old shipmate, John Holland, he had come round to see if there was anything that he could do for her, and he promised to do all in his power to make us comfortable.

Of course, I told him that I did not regard myself as Captain Holland's widow--that all we knew was that he had got safely ashore, and had been taken up to Mysore; and, as I had a strong conviction he was still alive, I was going out to endeavour to ascertain, from native sources, whether he was still living.
"'Well, ma'am, I hope that you will succeed,' he said.
