I did not like to ask.

Have you got them with you ?" I nodded, and proceeded to unbutton my coat.
At that moment a voice was heard shouting down the companion-ladder: "Carr! I say, Carr, you are wanted!" and in another moment some one was hammering on the door.
Carr sprang to his feet, looking positively savage.
"Carr!" shouted the voice again.

"Come out, I say; you are wanted!" "Button up your coat," he whispered, scowling suddenly; and with an oath he opened the door.
Poor Carr! He was quite put out, I could see, though he recovered himself in a moment, and went off laughing with the man, who had been sent for him to take his part in a rehearsal which had been suddenly resolved on; for theatricals had been brewing for some time, and he had promised to act in them.

I had not been asked to join, so I saw no more of him that night.

The following morning, as I was taking an early turn on the deck, he joined me, and said, with a smile, as he linked his arm in mine, "I was put out last night, wasn't I ?" "But you got over it in a moment," I replied.
