Arthur! So his name was Arthur! He had just been called Master Grant, so Arthur Grant was his name on board ship. Dodger was rather glad to have a name provided, for he had only been known as Dodger heretofore, and this name would excite surprise. He had recently felt the need of a name, and didn't see why this wouldn't answer his purpose as well as any other. "I must write it down so as not to forget it," he resolved. "It would seem queer if I forgot my own name." "I shouldn't enjoy it much if I were going to be seasick all the time," he answered. "Oh, a strong, healthy boy like you will soon be all right. You don't look like an invalid." "I never was sick in my life." "But your guardian told me he was sending you on a sea voyage for your health." "Did Mr. Waring say that?" "Yes; didn't you know the object of your sea trip?" asked Capt. Barnes, in surprise. "No." |
